[EN] Join New Camp - get better at fighting?
Now this is a weird one...
I've played Gothic back when it came out in 2001 and I could swear that when trying to win Lares approval to join the New Camp there was a sidequest/side activity which involved getting better at melee combat. I believe you had to talk to one of the named NPCs in the New Camp, say you want to join, he in return asked if you're a good fighter and the hero responded differently based on the level of his melee skills. When you got to a certain skill level he said he'll put in a good word for you and then when you asked Lares 'Is this enough to join you' he mentioned that so and so said you're a good fighter and we can always use good fighters or something along these lines.
But that was almost 20 years ago and my memory might just be playing tricks on me? Anyone else recall that?
I did find Blade in the New Camp and it seems as though he's the one asking if I can fight, I currently have no skill points in melee so my hero just says 'Well...' to which Blade responds 'I thought so' (or something like that) and seems disappointed. He then sends me to Gorn to see if he will train me but Gorn has no new dialogue options.
Is this a bug or early stages of dementia?
