I've been told that the Shrine of the Orcish Cult to the east of Cavalorn's cabin has something to do with the last part of the Chromanin quest. Any truth to that?? Having seen the frustrating corpse and the equally frustrating blank sixth book several times, I'm skeptical to say the least. If anyone knows better than me speak up, otherwise I'm not about to waste my time

If I'm right that area was used for a quest wich didn't make it into the game due to financial reasons. You can still get some potions from that place.  |

Financial reasons? That doesn't sound right... Would you mind explaining this to me? |

In Gothic 1 there are a few thing wich doesn't have a real purpose:
The best known one is the bandit camp (in the wilderness between the Old camp and the Old mine).
Second: a strange kind shrine in the swamp(close to some swampsharks)
third: the 'orc arena' (the place this thread is about).
The first was cut out of the game fot financial reasons, and I think (I'm sorry I didn't write 'think' in my previous post) the other two suffered the same fate. |

Mike Hoge said in one of our older interviews that they were running out of budget. They were racing through the last stages of development.
I guess that´s why the 2nd half of the game is so linear. Phenomdia told them "3 years is enough. We give you a last deadline, then we´ll release what´s finished."

It's kind of sad really.  I would have wanted to do those quests.

O.K Harkurian,
I't to early to say for sure about the shrine, but - - - its NOT to be dismissed,
i have intalled the 1.08h (German) patch, and i am trying my best from the memory of the dialogue to follow the game, however i am running the game through the Gothic "starter" and the game runs the best as i have ever seen it,
many things have been upgraded, the graphics can be enabled to "infinity" lots of bugs have been ironed out, but most importantly, the extra quest known as "Der Fremde" (the stanger) is definately in there, a quick look at the files shows 4 new inclusions, so those of us with great knowledge of the game may be able to deduce some idea's on this, I would guess that if what you say is true, at that place later in the game, some kind of dialogue may well take place?-?-? - - - here are those wav/speech files:-
1. THERIDDLE_TOT
2. INFO LEE NOW_FREEMINE
3. INFO LESTER_DIEGOMILTEN (2)
This could take a while and we will see, all will/may be revealed. ?

I know the location of that shrine, it's not a shrine, it's a dungeon with a memorial to the orcs.
It's easy to find.
Go from Lobart's farm to the main gate of the city of Korinis then put yourself in tye bridge, and turn left until you reach the limit of the cenario, then you will see a path into the right, follow that path and you will reach a dungeon.
Explore it well and you will find a statue of a orc elite.

I can't explain better because my English don't let me...
But if anyone understand Portuguese I can explain it better... 
Hope you understand...
