Gothic1: Getting into restricted areas trick
In Gothic 1, if you want to enter enter the castle, the temple of the sleeper(Y'Berrion's) or the water mages area befor you be allowed to enter, you only need to draw your weapon and you can walk past the guards. This way you can even enter the ore barons house. Oh and if you drop your ore before it, you can also steel the weapons from the armory and basicly every other stuff. Becouse the guards beat you up for it but doesn't kill you and only take your ore.
The veteran gothic players probably knew it, but I thoght it worth a post.
