How come there was no number 3?
   

I' ve been thinking about gothic 2(how near it is), than a bit about gothic, and then it hit me.. How come you can't assign a weapon, spell or a rune to number 3 on the keyboard in gothic..?

If this was previously discussed, plese point me to the right post..

Isn't number 3 the key for most recently used spell
In times of need - ie healing in the midst of a very hard battle (never encountered one of those though)

Yes the "3" key is used to call forth the last used spell

Sure, a mage can carry a sword, and can even be pretty good at using it. (Mages can get to "master" proficiency with 1-handed weapons, but can't train in 2-handed, as far as I know.) Which is a good thing, since casting takes time, and unless the terrain is such that you can put yourself completely out of harm's way you often need to remove those last few hitpoints from a charging enemy with a sword.

Personally I prefer games that allow you to mix-and-match skills to fit your playstyle instead of enforcing arbitrary class restrictions, but it's a matter of taste.

There was an unspoken restriction on them... skill points...

Although by the endgame, you have more skill points than you can assign if you want to play a "pure" class. I've just been doing a quick re-playthrough of GI, almost no optional quests and little free exploration, so I'm not nearly as high-level as I could be -- and nonetheless I have maxed every magely skill -- spell circles and mana. Pretty much forced to put my extra skillpoints in weapons and strength/dexterity! (Pity I can't save them for G2...)
