Tags: Gothic III; JoWood ProductionsWorld of Gothic, the long standing Gothic fansite, got an interview with Stefan Berger, the responsible Brand Manager for Gothic 3 and Johann Ertl, the Community Manager.
World of Gothic: There are a lot of users from eastern Europe in our forums that would like to enjoy Gothic 3 in their native languages. Will you release fully localized versions in these countries? And if you do, how long will the fans have to wait?
Stefan: Of course we`ll try to release Gothic 3 in as many fully localized versions as possible, but it`s simply not affordable for some minor languages...
Johann: I know the great feeling of playing such a game in the own native language - I´d give my left hand for a fully localized czech version. But we`ve got to stay realistic, the main languages will be covered.Seems kind of cold shafting the European fanbase that's supported the franchise from the get go to accomodate the North American market that barely acknowledged Gothic. Still, I guess English is about as close as you can get to a universal language (that's why aliens always speak it in sci-fi TV shows).
