As it is clearely stated in the G2aTT_License.txt licence text file, this mod needs to be used only with the original version of the software it's designed for. If you don't own a legal copy of Gothic II and Gothic II Die Nacht des Raben then you'll break the law by installing and using this mod too!

ALso, this mod can NOT be used in any form of comercial use, in part or as a whole, without its author written accept (as it's tsateted, again, in the G2aTT_License.txt licence text file). I guess you all know why we're needing to clearly say this... 


LEGAL ASPECTS

Regarding the legal aspects of this translation mod, we can tell you that we used Gothic II's own mod kit to do it. It would have never been working otherwise (as it would have been a nightmare to hex edit Gothic II's data files to do it). And the mod kit was EXPRESSELLY released for 3rd party developers (ie Gothic II Die Nacht des Raben software owners) to can make and release their own modifications to the original game.

We couldn't find any statement (not in mod kit's Licence or in whatever else file from it, nor on mod kit's site) which let be known that the mods aren't legally allowed to be in other languages than german, or that some specific modifications to the original software aren't allowed (like this english translation mod one).

Maybe we didn't noticed it, and if this is the case, then any official from Atari, JoWooD or Piranha Bytes who see this is asked to contact us showing us where it's stated that a modification like this isn't legally allowed in order to immediatelly stop the distribution of this mod!

As G2DNdR ETM it's a 3rd party mod, Atari, JoWooD and Piranha Bytes do not provide support for this file and no one should try to contact them about it.

Also, Realms of Torment / Mourning game don't have anything in common with this mod, excepting the fact they kindly offered their assistance (and bandwith) to hosting it for all Gothic series fans! Any official from Atari, JoWooD or Prianha Bytes who see this mod hosted on their site and think this mod is illegal is asked to immediatelly contact them in order to stop the distribution of this mod at once!

REQUIREMENTS

Is VERY important to take note that G2DNdR ETM and the G2aTT absolutelly DON'T support software piracy, under no excuses or circumstancies. It's a must for you to own the original both Gothic II and Gothic II Die Nacht des Raben software in order to use it! If you're not, think twice, as what you're doing is not only breaking the law, but also hurting Piranha Bytes, the ones who developed this awesome game, and diserve better than that!

Both legal and moral aspects of this should prevent you from doing that, but anyway, if you'll think otherwise, then you'll break the law again, as the original Gothic II and Gothic II Die Nacht des Raben software are required to can play this mod too (as it is expreselly stated in the G2aTT_License.txt file)!

RECOMANDATIONS

We strongly advice you (even if that would be a choice of your own), to also support this german series developer and its international release version by buying the future english version of Gothic II addon's, Die Nacht des Raben. This mod is only a subtitle one, and can't be better than the future full voice-acted official one, which will worth each penny you'll spent on it! So, if you really like this series immersion magic, and also want to support Piranha Bytes to continue this series, we think you should definatelly buy this future addon's english version!
