I think something is wrong with these quests…

I have the quests about killing the orc patrols in my inventory. I went and killed them and the orcs just got up after about 10 seconds. I even defeated the main guy at the farm and got the duel quest done but not the patrol ones.

So am I doing something wrong or what?

IIRC, you have to fully kill them (coup de grace), i.e. target them when they are knocked down (unconscious) for a final blow. Most Orcs are considered NPCs, so like humans they are first knocked out and not killed in combat.

I lost my book to this game. How do I lock on to a knockdown opponent. I had a feeling it was something along those lines but I didn't know how to do it and I didn't see it in the keyboard configuration page.

Eh, thats usually the euphemism for "I torrented this" - If you like RPGs, please support developers and publishers by buying them. If you did, please ignore this statement.

TBH I'm not sure. I think maybe left-click and hold, or right click and hold plus left click… something like that. Its been a while.

Dude, you should really read your own threads.
This has been answered before.

And if you wonder where all your threads are: I moved them to the correct forum, and I would really appreciate if you could (a) learn to post in the correct forum and (b) give your threads more precise names.

How to kill a NPC had not been answered. Also, I don't get how asking a question about Gothic 3 is not suppose to be in the Gothic 3 forum. I'm serious and not trying to be a smartass. Unless I missed something.

Wish someone would have told me that the 1.7+ patches were going to make my previous games unplayable. I had a couple of errors the last time around.

When I installed 1.6 a new shortcut was made to my desktop. Do I still use that shortcut or the one that says "Gothic 3 CP"?

Actually it was answered : http://www.rpgwatch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11494
What Gorath is saying is that quest related questions should go into the "Gothic 3 spoilers" subforum.

Maybe it should be renamed "quest-help and spoiler forum" to be more clear…

Oh, I think that was one of the threads that was moved and I didn't know what happened to I made another one. Thats why I didn't read it.

You guys need one of those auto emails that tells you if a thread has been moved. I wouldn't have asked again. It would make the mods have a lot easier of a job.

Actually I intentionally disabled the redirection on these threads because I wanted you to wonder where they are. Default is a temporary redirection for a week or so.

Overlooking one of the sub-forums is no big deal. Happens all the time.
Moving threads is unnecessary, boring and avoidable work for a moderator, though. Even more so as creating the thread in the spoiler forum right away doesn't even cost you a second more. It's nothing personal, and I tend not to remember such things for long, but I react a bit snappy if somebody forces me to waste my time on boring stuff like moving threads.

The Communtiy Patch comes with its own pdf manual. It explains the big novelties compared to the vanilla game. Just in case you didn't know.
