Hi -
Just got Gothic and I love it - but I am a bit stuck - I've done 70% of the quests in the Old Camp and now have moved to the Old Mine w/ the two large towers and the gate w/ the winch and crushing machine(?) outside of it.
When I run the winch nothing happens - so...what am I doing wrong in order to get into the old mines??
Thanks!

Forget the winch, just enter the cave!

Yes. I think you have to be admitted to a camp before you can start the old mine. That's chapter two. |

Sorry to break this news to you, but the winches in this game have a notorious habbit of being buggy. You were not supposed to have touched the winch, the mine was already open when you get your Test of Faith quest.
There are 2 solutions.
1. Reload from a save before you turned the winch.
2. Enter Marvin-Mode (cheat mode), type 's' for the character screen, then type 'marvin' (you won't see the text), then type 's' again. You'll see marvin mode and a console on the top of the screen. Hit 'F2' to close the console. Then get close to the gate at the mine. Press 'k' and your character will teleport forward a few feet. Thus bypassing the gate.
Word of advice: Don't touch ANY winch until you get the quest to be in that area.

Ok...well the only cave I see is the one blocked by a huge gate, so I can't enter.
And the reason I have to get into the old mine is to perform the test of faith to become a member of the Old Camp...
So I am still stumped...did I forget to hit a trigger in the game> |

All winches are bad, very VERY bad! Sometimes even the one's you are supposed to touch are bad!

All winches in Gothic are card carrying members of the Evil Bug Winch League.
