About this mod

Yet Another Unofficial Patch is a mostly unknown, old school ZenGin mod that pioneered Union plugins, aspects, and elements long before it became a current standard. At dawn, it was a simple mod that eliminated several discrepancies found in Gothic II NotR, but since then, it became a big, content adding, but still lore friendly "addon".

Yet Another Unofficial Patch (YAUP for short) is a mod you're definitely not going to like; because it takes a traditional numerical approach to roleplaying mechanics in NotR that were previously incorporated into the gameplay through player input automatically, subject to the original developers' design choices, while also containing arbitrary reimaginings of these same design choices. It's somewhat biased towards traditional roleplaying aspects where you actually roleplay your character (or at least try) as well. Plus, it certainly will not match your own internal vision of what such a project should be, to boot. If you're looking for a package that is casual friendly, with many quality of life features, like most modern ZenGin mods that need to mimic popular MMORPGs, then you might want to look the other way. This is an old school approach to modding, with all its benefits and drawbacks. That being said, in terms of bug fixing and the restoration of cut content, this mod is second to none in the fandom; all while still adding new content, keeping to the general "feel" and lore of the original game, while still not being afraid to push the envelope every now and then. Comes in two versions:

"Regular Customer": this is recommended for those who don't want to experience some of the more advanced new mechanics (especially related to combat) and dislike traditional roleplaying calculation and numeric formulae, commonly found in old roleplaying games
"Serious Client": this is recommended for those who like to plan, prepare, and challenge their intellectual capabilities. Not for the faint of heart, as this mode is a serious challenge

Both versions come in one easy to follow and conclusive installer that minimizes any client side prep work, keeping user convenience in mind. Keep in mind that even in the "RC" version the vast majority of the information about the new content and mechanics is still externalized (in "readmes", quick references, and FAQs). It's up to you to read it before launching the mod, but if you decide to skip on that, the mod won't discriminate and will let you success and/or fail at your own chosen pace.



It is compatible with retail (CD/DVD), Steam, and GOG releases in v2.6/2.7 in ANY language.
