It shoud be nice.. My strength is at only 27 (I'm level 7 or 8 and I spent my credits on Bow and Sneaking - I didn't have the choice  ).
Well, after more than 40 hours, I explored almost all (except a little cavern): it's so huge!  I killed the majority of monsters (they are a lot!)... and almost all the humans.
I discovered a new monster: a... blue light using lightning. Impossible to kill with normal weapons... If not, you can kill all the others: I kill easily each monster with my little sword +25... except Wargs, Zombis, Skeletons and Orcs (I need to use arrows for them). Ah, I forgot the three super bandits (two with bows, one with crossbow): they are so strong! Even the Orcs and the Shadowbeasts cannot kill them...
My favorite moment: a guard (the guy keeping the two chests) was hunting me... but he was hunted by an Orc... which was hunted by a Shadowbeast. Result: a double breakfast for the Shadowbeast and a good show for me. |

Did you kill the wargs + shadowbeast + goblins guarding the cave in the valley that is close to the far side of the city? I only have one level of bow training and it seems to take over 1000 arrows to kill off only the many wargs and the shadowbeast. :p

Haven't seen that one yet. And if I go by your description, I'm not sure if I want to. :p |

It's a will-o-wisp, and if you don't attack it it won't harm you.

Yeah, that's what my old mother said about Wargs too. :p |

Bah, money is not very useful in the demo (except for a litle armor if you want to buy it and for the arrows)... and anyway, it's really easy to get 2000 gold and more... 
But it's too late for me: I already killed the guy for the Strength. But anyway I think I expored all (after 40 hours) the demo and I will wait for the full version now. At least I have some other games for the moment (Hitman 2, Asheron's Call, MTW...)... if not, it would be too hard! I'm so impatient to play to Gothic 2. |

Ok. Its obvious some of us are getting more out of this german demo than PB expected us to.
Also, I've been wandering around, gathering and killing what I can. Someone mentioned how to get back into the demo grounds. It would be extremely helpful if that someone would give more details on exactly how you did it.
P.S. How does one kill the orcs, Shadow Beasts, and zombies? |

Preferrably with arrows.

I'm having problems getting back to the demo area too. Hopping on a roof and wall close to snappers? The only snappers I've seen were up on a mountain close to the place with a tower, bandits and shadowbeast cave. |

There are some snappers just to the left (as you face the front door) of the demo-city.

Returning to the official demo area:
1. Go to town.
2. Go to the house with the blacksmith equipment in front of it. It is located close to the main gate.
3. You will notice that the buildings here are connected in a faint V shape. Go to the point where the houses connect (the center of the V) and climb the roof.
4. Walk up to the outer wall of the town and climb it.
5. Now jump down to the other side. If you jump up to the tower to the right you will avoid damage. |

- I told how to do that... but again, without all these precisions.
- Hum... I forgot this carven... which is heavily guarded. I don't know what we can find inside. But I already gone in the mine's entrance...
- Wargs can be killed with arrows and a little bow... but yes, it takes a lot of them.
- Seriously, I don't find how it is possible to kill the three bandits (near the Old Camp, at the lighthouse or something like that) in the demo... They are too strong for Orcs and Shadowbeats... so imagine for a little character with good weapons but a cheap armor! 
- Ah!!! I can't wait! At least I have NWN for the moment. |

-Carven? Mine? Where!?! Tell me!
-Wargs are tough stuff. I have 80 dex in the demo, and it's still really tough taking on more than 1 at a time.
Takes 2 arrows to kill one though.
-Killing the 3 bandits at the watch tower is simple. Even if you have a little bow.
There is a hole in one of the cabin-things. Shoot your arrows through that hole to kill them. They have VERY bad aim, so you can kill them all easily.
Their hand weapons are very weak though, so get close to them so they put away their bows is another trick. |

For the other (and bigger) monsters... well... if you can kill a snapper (not easy) with a little axe with +25... I imagine you can do it against zombis or even orcs with a sword +65 (the best I got). Of course, you'll need to spend your credits (I got 50 without killing these bigger creatures and the great majority of Wargs) on Strength. |

I didn't know it was possible to raise Dexterety in the demo.
But anyway, my favorite character is a stupid and violent melee warrior - so my sword or axe is my bestfriend.  |

For the carverns... you can find many of them in the demo... Remember to go everywhere.. even in the places you forgot. Yes, this game is so big that I forget often some nice but dangerous places I see at the beginning.
If you want good challenge, the most dangerous part is near the «blue light» I met (it attacked me but not hurt me a lot): around you will find a LOT of Wargs... and many Orcs and Skeletons. If you prefer bow, there are several good places where you can climb for optimized security (until the Orc jump on your head! )...
It's so sad we cannot find a lot of scrolls... I already killed three Gobelins with a vast fire bolt. It will be great in the full-version. |
