i would just add 1 thing... if you talk to vatras and then lares... you can ask lares if he can help you out... and then choose gold option (other 2 suck anyway) and then lares will tell you that lemar still owes him a favor, so just go to him and borrow money from him and he will sort things out so you dont owe him anymore... you still got to talk to lemar 24 ingame hours AFTER taking money, with 1200+gold on you, and pick option that you are returning the gold and then he wont take the gold and will say: dont worry about it, didnt know that bastard lares was your friend. (also this lares choice is not the same with the other one, where he tells you to go to martin to get another quest if you want to join militia)... which maybe is another point that you should do in chapter 1 for extra exp... some other players do pick option to join mages, so you dont have to pay 1k gold and sheep to join mages... but if you plan to join literally anyone else, its best to pick militia, even if you wont join militia... just for getting another quest and exp.
I agree with everything except for the last part. Pick to join the fire mages regardless of who you're joining. You get 1200 exp in total if you don't join and find the statue anyway. With the milita pre quest you get 800 i believe :)
I also got like over 3 rhetoric points by simply trying to talk myself out when failing to rob someone, i failed many times so it will require lots of failed tries to get at least one point of rhetoric

Hey there sliverz hope you havinga great day. I was wondering if you can answer this question. Is the ZGamepad mod compatible with Returning? This mod requires the latest union to work, does returning have any version of union?
Yes actually. You can find everything on this website. Make sure you translate it into English if you don't speak Polish: sefaris.eu/union/plugins zGamepad is compatible, just not with every controller. I have tried with a generic PS3 controller, that isn't original and it doesn't work. I also tried with the JoyPads from Nintendo switch (the individual ones), but it can only use 1 at a time. If you have the single controller from switch or xbox it should inititially work, if you prefer playing like that. :)
@@sliverz_fx Thats fantastic news my man, i can't tell how much i deslike the M&K combat. I'm sure it's better than controller, but when i was playing NOTR i couldn't bear the difficulty and i just stopped thinking i don't wanna play a game that i don't find fun. Then i found that mod and i thought man this is gonna be scuffed. But too my suprise it was quite good (it sill needed some tweaking) and all of the scuffnes was just a part of Gothic. I'm so much better in combat with a controller it's day & night, i could go againts wargs with ease in chapter 1 (I shouldn't have but i like banging my head againts a wall haha). Thanks for the lightning speed reply Sliverz ;).
By choosing the right weapons to combat them. The one that hits the hardest is not always the best weapon in certain situations. Plus the video is about before going to chapter 2. You can get to lvl 33 in just chapter 1 alone :)
For example at the bridge over the tavern.. How could I defeat them? I have a militia armor and a 85 damage weapon, but I can't at all haha@@sliverz_fx
You forgot to mention the book Ragnar will give you(on chapter 4 or 5) if you give him 1k gold to go to the monastery...have fun with the DRAGON pet guys😜
btw i forgot, i know you get a few minecrawler plates from the guy who wants the armor, how do you get rest of them? does luther (city merchant in upper quarters) sell it? or do you have to learn how to get minecrawlers plates? if you know... or must i wait chapter 2?@@sliverz_fx
Learn how to gut them from either Wolf or The hunter near the Black Troll. Then just kill some minecrawlers. There's 3 caves you can find them in. 1. In the Cave complex near the Black troll where the Fire mages have their Test of Fire (left fork of the caves) 2. Opening the Cave stone using a pillar in the small pyramids in the excavations 3. Dexter's camp Mines. You just have to open the door that's preventing them to leave.

Nice Tutorial! i saw a walkthrough video about DarkKnight, he got 450/47 Strength (he just only need 47 LP for STR) @@! , can you tell me the way to do that? i think read stone table, drink strenght potion, pay money for Kama or kill many boss can't get up to 450str like that ~~!
@@sliverz_fx No, it not depending on LP. The STR and DEX Stats of Gothic so special. If u use 5 LP to learn STR or DEX, it will show (455/51). If u drink STR or DEX potions (+2 points) , it will show (452/47). So i mean he drink many potions or something else like that to get STR up to 450 (he not use 10LP 20 LP ,,, to learn STR or DEX from NPC when level up)

I'm really disappointed by that, it's the soul of gothic yet they removed it T_T (it like normal weapon with 400 slash damage, no str require, no special options..., can't update anymore...)
I finished returning 2.0 in 2016-2017 back then on nightmare and now I decided to play again with this new balance version... also on nightmare.

@@Dark_Angel555 Most hunter quests trigger after 2nd chapter. Barem will ask you to kill a boar or something. You shouldn't try to rush them anyway cause many are tough.
