What's the exact problem. You still haven't told what it is. If you tell I can try and see if its just something which you aren't looking in the right area or something. It could be a bug but I certainly have come across anything, game is 100% better at that than gothic 3 was.

I played it for a bit, takes too long to get anything going and my ADD kicks in quite quickly.
It was fun for a bit though.

Some of the animations also kills this game. Makes it extremely slow for something that should painless.
Confirmed bug that lycan pointed out, when you walk trough the door you go up to the roof, only way is to "dodge" into the house.

I have also been playing it for a bit now.
I am intent on joining the mages - but I don't want to choose sides as yet.
I have access to the bandit camp, harbour town and the rest of the island.
Making certain I avoid being recruited into the order .
I have completed most of the quests(including exposing and beating up brogar ) and all in the bandit camp - just busy on the one for Fincher to locate the entrance to a secret tomb now.
In harbour town - I have also completed most of the quests there - I am currently on 3/4 Quests for both sides - the parcel with the weed being my last quest - to go for either side - but as I indicated seen as I am going the mage route - I will hand it over to the guards.
Take note about quests linked to trainers in harbour town - if you do the quests in favour of the order you will lose out on cid(lockpick) and dorgal-i am not talking bout butcher here-(pickpocket)(can't recall his name now - he is at the entrance of the town). I went back to a previous save so that I could get my training in lockpicking - yes you can use the spells - but I haven't opted to go to the monastery as yet. (I tested to see what it would be like to go there - already beat up the 1st 3 in traning and master aric - lol) But I went back to my previous save.
I have thus far steadfastly refused to buy the armour available to me - having not chosen as side as yet I don't have access to the other armour- Costa 200 gold and Hawking workers clothers 500 gold.
It makes it so much harder without proper armour - does anyone know how to obtain the captains armour - or is it specific to one of the sides ?
Also from another forum how to obtain el cheapo armour "some basic, crappy armor in a chest at the novice's farm, inside the house Tristan guards. To keep him from catching you stealing it, lure a boar into a farm and snag the armor while Tristan clobbers the boar."
Smithing has been one of the skills I learned - so I made me a couple of rings to help with armour. I also am glad that I got the prospecting skill got me some decent gold lumps.
All in all - the game is enjoyable to play - at times frustrating , but fun.
Frustating for me is the darn ghouls - that magical attack just kills - lol.

I downloaded the Demo last night as I will only be buying the full version later on this week or weekend.
I was SERIOUSLY surprised to see that the game Ran ULTRA smooth (even for a demo ???) at 1920x1080 with ALL details max and 4xAA. Given i's a game from Pirahna Bytes I really thought It was going to be alot slower and more troublesome, and from what I understand the Full Version runs way better than the demo, comming from ppl who have played the Retail and demo versions on their PC's.
Also glad to see that Apart from GTAIV, and Maybe Crysis, that my Quad core is being put to use, as I noticed at one stage that 3 threads were being used.
YAY

It is shocking. The lighting is terrible, it has the worst frame rate I have ever seen on a xbox game, the combat system is pathetic, The controls get so confusing. The fact that you cant see or collect items when you have your weapon drawn, so you have to constantly draw and replace your weapon.
For me though the worst has to be the graphics and the lighting, its an abomination.
