Played the game a while back so not sure if I am remembering correctly but I do remember Cavalorn teaches the butchering skill as well as Nicholas the hunter overlooking the city and possibly the hunter Grom near Onar.

Haha thanks for the tip :D I have been using that to clear some areas of items a lot more quicker :P. Found out when I was attempting to drag the enchanted sword (poor guards :D they newer saw that coming) and ran out of mana, somehow the character put away the spell and since I was holding the action key I pressed it again and boom took the sword :D.

Awesome :D thanks for the tip, I also noticed that with the shield style you can hold parry / block and keep pressing attack to spam the first hit from the forward combo chain of attack since holding parry / block cancels the animation and allows you to spam it hard. The only thing required is that you use the Gothic 2 control scheme rather then Gothic 1.

Never mind :D discovered that you need to buy the second hand blade from Tobias in hunter camp also YESSSSS hahaha :D

Loving the shield and sword combo its amazing :D has anyone managed to work out how dual wield is done, i have not managed to activate it regardless of level learnt :P. Do I need to purchase something extra like an item or something? Any help would be appreciated :D. Also hunters look awesome haha

Hi dark-angel555 love the game as well, currently playing with a shield and sword but looking to use dual wield, found Billy and learnt it yet I do not seem to find any way to use it :P. How do you activate dual wield or do you need specific weapons, also I got a "blade" during training but it was not in my inventory :P

Amazing work, looking forward in fighting this dragon with my self imposed class build (melee, range, magic) and seeing how well I would go up against that awesome boss :D. Once more great work and all the best, keep it coming :D

Glad to help, you can use this with other opponents as well just as long as they can attract others towards you when they growl / taunt.

The way I tackled them is the same with multiple opponents, I attempted to attract only a small number if not just one opponent since I am melee and I was low level (probably 7 - 8) at the time.

You will notice that some opponents tend to growl at you and that attracts others towards you as opposed to them. This happens up till they reach the range in witch they can growl as well. If you distance yourself from the first enemy that growls while the other is running towards you; you can lead them away from the group so that his growl will not in turn attract the others.

There are other methods such as wounding then retreating and repeating the cycle and possibly others; but for me as a melee role play character I opted to divide and conquer :P.

The issue there is that Gothic is using the right hand equip (weapon or magic) to perform the animation and calculate the damage type.

Even with the "press x specials" it would still calculate the damage based on the weapon / magic equipped in the right hand whilst the left hand would still remain for decoration.

Gothic also performs one animation sequence at a time in which it calculates the damage of the right hand equipped, so I think that would require multiple script changes to a core degree before the game calculated two types of damages at one.

At any rate, that's what I can think about the way the game works, at least from an outside perspective :P.

Maybe one day we can all play a spell blade :D

The cave of bandits with lizard skins is as follow:

- Bandit Cave Option 1 -
-> At Onar's Farm follow the road that leads to Pepe
-> Follow the road from Pepe in to the forest towards the torches
-> Proceed along the road, you should have a lake on your left
-> Continue from there till the road gets walled of by the ground
-> Turn right at that point and head towards the mountain
-> Follow the mountain with the road parallel to your left side
-> Continue along the mountain and you should see a campfire
-> Kill bandits around campfire and enter bandit cave with skins

- Bandit Cave Option 2 -
-> From the road next to Pepe, head straight towards the mountain
-> Follow the mountain away from Onar's Farm
-> You will reach a camp fire with bandits around it
-> Kill them and enter the cave with skins

It's a bit rough and also a copy and paste from my above replay :P but I hope it helps :D

Hmm I will do my best to explain, though it might be a bit rough.

The 2 extra trolls are as follow:

- First Troll -
-> Follow the road from Xardas's Tower
-> Turn left at the first intersection
-> Proceed to follow the road in to the new area
-> Close to the end of the road the is a Troll with 5-6 goblins

- Second Troll -
-> Go to the ruins of the water mages
-> As you exit the underground mage area turn left and go forward
-> You should be standing on the ruin with pillars around it
-> Look towards the opening that leads in to the forest
-> Go forward towards the forest he should be around that area

Loving the new images, all the best with your work.
I can't wait to play your mod, but I will wait :D.

Yeah I was thinking the same with Vatras, thought to mention it just to be sure.

Not sure where I read about the hunters but I was sure Gaan was the same as Grimbald, will have a look to check since I presumed that to be the case :P

In love with this mod, still in chapter one getting ready to finish, discovered new areas implemented with locked off area (excited to discover its secrets), got two new armors in this chapter (Mage Armor from thief guild and the Troll Armor after discovering the cave of bandits with 4 lizard skins :D and the extra 2 Trolls).

Noticed possible bugs:
 - Gaan's quest - I believe it was mentioned that this quest would award 3LP (similar to Grimbald) however I did not receive any (talked to him for the first time after killing the beast as opposed to prior)
 - Cassia's skill - The cost for learning pickpocket is displayed as 10LP however it only deducts 5LP (Tested as a Thief Character with all members of the guild befriended)
 - Vatras's heal - Vatras has no option for healing, uncertain if an actual bug, however decided to put it here since Sagitta still heals you

Will keep you posted if I find more possible bugs whist enjoying the hell out of this wonderful mod.
Keep up the great work :D
