How many playing hours do you estimate for the G2-NotR?
   

I heard a guy that says he finished it in 17h 48'
I don't believe a word he says!!!
I'm only Level 17 and I've been playing for arround 20 h !!!
I haven't been in the VoM yet!!! I'm doing WMages Quests in Builders Lands (pirates, bandits-Raven, etc.)
I found very good thing that you can be a, WMage, Pirate, Bandit, and member of a main guild at the same time!!!
But, I have a question...
What the hell happend ... my main guild is militia, but my training in dexterity strenght, or MANA, over 30 it cost's me double? (1p = 2 learning points)
My training in one h. or two h. weapons remains 1p:1LP even after 30
In the orig. G2 that never happened. It's true that in G2, if you become a member of merc. or militia, raising mana (1:1 for Mages) allways cost you double. The same for Mages (in weapons training they had 1:2LP)
It's frustrating, because with rings, amulets, and permanent-bonnus potion, I just reached 55 STR and 51 DEXT, and only now I can use a decent sword (a Rapier with 100 DMG and + 5 one-hand bonus).

That's because of the frequency yor qestion has been asked, dude. Btw, you can always download the difficulty changer for making it easier or even harder. The problem is that in the beginning it's very hard, but at ch4 it just went the easy way again.

Don't patronize me because you think you know everything!
Don't answer if you find my questions ridiculous!
If any of your 1962 answers sounds like that...
You even read the main question I asked?

well that dude who told u that he finished it in 17h 48' isnt very wrong actually he ment he finished the addon in that time [the addon quest u know] he just ment the addon gives you more 17h and 48 min gametime for Gothic 2 plain now just do the math and find out how much is it all in one

What about this? - is this TRUE? I've heard of points even costing more.

Watch out, master. Bartacus has already earned a lot more respect than you till now.

It takes about 3 till 30 hours to finish. Three if you do nothing than the main quests and 30 if you want to explore and see a little of the new world.

And the question has been asked many times before, btw.

MORE respect than another.....? Why? Because he's been a member of the BOARD longer??

And you STILL haven't answered the question!

Yes all true. Training sword-fighting will be more expensive too. In the end you'll even need to pay four of five lp for only one point strength etc more. But you can do a lot with the new items, find the old scripts for permanent bonusses. You can get a lot from those ancient tablets. Also bonusses like eating mushrooms, apples are no longer useable one time, instead you can keep on eating mushrooms and apples, because you keep getting the bonus.

That's just part of the increased difficulty.

You could also read a review (for example the one RPGdot made)

I want to limit my exposure to certain spoilers, so I'm straying from reviews.

Doesn't sound like these new features are as discouraging as I initially thought. Thanks for the reply - can't wait to play it.

This does not really belong here, but there's a video of someone (TheWonderer) finishing NoTR in record time, skipping very large parts of the story, however, without cheating of any kind.

Chapter 1: http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/index.php?go=downloads&release_id=82

Chapter 2: http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/index.php?go=downloads&release_id=83

Chapter 3: http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/index.php?go=downloads&release_id=85

Chapter 4: http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/index.php?go=downloads&release_id=89

Chapter 5: http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/index.php?go=downloads&release_id=90

Chapter 6: http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/index.php?go=downloads&release_id=91

That's a German page, to start downloading simply click on the .zip file links on these pages. Make sure to disable popup blockers and to enable JavaScript or the download won't start. Total size of all chapters combined is ~473MB. Oh, and don't watch it if you're afraid of spoilers ;-).
