Using Spine you only need one folder for each Gothic version (one for Gothic and one for Gothic II) and not multiple if you want to play e.g. Spine is meant to replace the old GothicStarter by making the whole process of installing and playing mods easier than ever before. It makes installing and playing modifications very easy and is available in German, English, Polish and partially also in Russian.
Spine is modification management tool for Gothic and Gothic II – The Night of the Raven and has been developed by Daniel Bonrath of Clockwork Origins.
