Ummm... you're very wrong there, Gomez's stuff has jacksh*t in it to get, you only get crappy coins and stuff like that, and if you want good cash you need to SELL two-handed swords! So to buy them you pretty much need to sell some first.

Heh, you missed quite a bit, then. There's three floors of chests past the initial two locked doors. In those chests are various animal skins worth a decent amount of cash, a plethora of misc items, and I believe some Shadowbeast horns, which are worth a lot (I think that's where I got the 5 Shadowbeast horns from).
At any rate, after selling the gaggle of stuff I retrieved from those 3 floors of chests, I've never had to scrape for money to buy whatever I wanted. |

...I've missed quite a bit?! Well, I clocked the game 2 times and both times I was fine with getting a two-hander, also, about the shadowbeast horns and animal skins...why don't you just go and kill the animals yourself if you want loads of money?! I can't believe you can't even get a two-hander, that you have to resort to a forum.

You're right. I lack your l33tness. I didn't know there was a rusty two hander in a chest by Stone. I suck.

OK, this is my opinion on all of this, I do not think this is in any way bad being able to use skill points on two-handed weapons at the beginning. In fact, I think it is a good thing, because although your character may be weaker at the beginning because of lack of one-handed skill, in the second half of the game you will have an obvious advantage, because you are competent in the use of a two-handed weapon, easily the most powerful weapon in the game.
A second point I wish to make is that depending on how you want to play the game, money is no object at all. If you would like, you could beat up or kill every single living thing in the game (as I did with one of my characters) and especially shopkeepers who's wares you can take. By the time I was on Chapter 5, I could beat a shopkeeper, and it would take about 20 min just to take all of the ore on their bodies. (Note, if you do not kill the shopkeepers, they will regenerate wares)

You don't need to have lockpicking mastered. In fact, there's no need to master it at all. Lockpicks aren't that expensive. If you want to nitpick the meaning of "a few" then go ahead, but I don't be participating in arguing semantics.
You don't really need lockpicking at all. 'DarkGuardII' posted a guide for most locks in Gothic some time back. With a guide you really only need one lockpick the entire game. Higher skill in lockpicking doesn;t mean you can open chests which require keys.

Killing the MC Queen is only required to become a guard. You already have access to the castle before that as a Shadow (level 5 or 6, I forget which is required).
Yes, you can enter the castle long before you become a guard/mercenary/templar etc. A shadow has no problems, while rogues and novices can be messengers.

Lastly, combat in Gothic is obviously more dependant on your equipment by far, as opposed to character skills.
Not really. It's also dependant on the associated skill. For melee weapons, it's strength. If your weapon does 90 damage and your strength is 90, then the weapon constitutes only half the total damage. Of course, training increases your percentage of perfect hits.
