Gothic 3 I found a hole in the barrior around the castle!

Outside of the northwestern edge of the barrior where the bridge crosses the stream that goes through Faring you can push your way through the barrior and enter the castle grounds, and you can exit the same way you came in without using a teleporter.

I know it's not big news but it is an easy way to get to the King, and possibly mess up a few quests in the process.

Nicely done.
I will certianly check it out next time I play.

When I get too close to the barrier it electrocutes me and kills me.

Yeah, i already did this and made an exit with the castle teleport stone (see the Vengard thread) and it doesn't spoil the plot when you return. I also used the other stone to see Markus re: the chalice etc' and back out again. The ocs are still waiting till later.
