GOthic 2 - Beginners Questions
   

Just started Gothic 2 on the PC. Very enjoyable so far ( I am only level 2 - just got into Town).

First question - Does the game have a quick save button? Can't find any mention of it in the manual and tried all the usual keys.

Second Qeustion - Are there any good guides available that I should look over before going too far. I am not looking for spoilers yet - just the sort of background info that allows one to make informed choices about the type of skills and weapons to specialise in. I cannot find anything on RPGDOT.

F5 for quick save and F9 for quick load... however I have "heard" that using this feature during conversations may cause a corrupt save.

F5 and F9 - . Don't know how I missed that. I did press all the function keys but apart from changing the view distance with F1 - F4 I didn't spot anything else happening.

Anyway thanks for the info Joibella. Having quicksave will make my life a lot easier. It seems to be easy to die in this game.

Any recommended FAQs or guides?

Quicksave has to be activated in the gothic.ini.

The Gothic2.ini file did the trick.

Hey thats a great file. I love the little notes the developers have left on the options: e.g. "Instant potions are disabled because we believe they ruins a game"

How true. In lots of games a weak character with a stack of health potions can kill almost anything. I think I'll leave that option off for the moment and see if I can survive. It must get tough though fighting monsters with no opportunity for a quick slug.
