Gothic 1: Othello Mod 4.0 – It's Out!

It’s here! Othello Mod 4.0 is now publicly available for everyone!

For now, I’ve prepared a temporary Czech translation that I personally used during my livestreams.This translation includes all content from the previous versions and 660 new lines added in the 4.0 update — translated using Google tools.So you’ll definitely come across some strange item names and texts (don’t report them — I’m aware).Still, I’m releasing it now so you can already enjoy the mod without waiting for me to find time to polish it.I’ll most likely fix and finish the Czech translation over the weekend — I’m currently dealing with a lot of stuff in real life.

As for the English translation, it is provided directly by the mod’s author. I’m not sure whether it’s human-translated or done via Google.
