GameVision has put up a review of the newly arrived modification for Gothic - Diccuric. They thought well of it and came to a conclusion that it very much shouldn't be skipped, as it brings many hours of fun. You can read the whole review (in German) here, and it seems that this kind of mod-related articles are going to get stable on their site, appearing on a monthly basis. As an addition to the text, there is a brief interview with Markus Vill (one of the developers) about his impressions of the modification.

On another hand, there are indications that there is a second patch in plan, and is currently being tested. This info came from TAGMT official site.
