Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Was too accustomed to the Fable type of combat that I can literally take on multiple enemies at once. Should be more patient next time and follow your advice.

If you're referring to Neverwinter Nights, I understand. Don't like the control scheme there anyway. I might need some adjustments since I've become used to Fable's combat controls (one mouse click=one hit type) so it might take some time to get used to Gothic's combat.

I'll give that a shot. Always feel clumsy when using the forward attack method.

Thanks, mr_sir and Padawan for the combat tips and strategies.
