I recommend these skills for non-magic character (I don’t list their pre-requirements): I haven’t yet played as mage so I can’t give you any tips on that yet. There are three basic classes in Gothic 3: fighter, archer and mage. Also, I haven’t played as mage yet, so these hints probably won’t be much useful to you if you want to use magic a lot. I played the game with last official patch v1.12, some bugs I’m going to mention might be fixed in later community patches (v1.5 is the most recent).

Some general gameplay tips are also included. This is a small guide to Gothic 3 for people who don’t want to waste learning points on useless skills.
