There are female rebels in the main rebel camps (i.e. Reddock), they are very rare sight though.

I'll tell you a little secret: Some of the Orcs are actually female. They just sound like male Orcs. Use some imagination and you'll be fine :D

jk.

My guess of the reason why female are so rare in ...

It is running in dual channel mode. The POST used to report "Dual Channel Disabled" before I added the other 512MB. All the modules are DDR400 CL2.5, so I don't see any problem there. The dual channel mode will activate as long as I have 2 identical modules (or downgrade one to match the other ...

Which version are you using?
At this point I think 1.08 is the best version, I have heard 1.09 introduced a bug or two even though it fixes something, was intended as a quick fix.


I think I'm still at 1.07, will check on the updates as soon as I'm free, have been busy lately, didn't fire up G3 ...

what I read from the gothic 3 readme file is, the minimum is 1GB and recommended is 2GB. I was cursing the developer when I red about that, as I only have 768MB back then. Even with 768MB, the game is unplayable at all low. frame rate at single digit.

Now with 1.2GB and the.INI tweak, the game is ...

G3 Quest bug (spoiler)

I'm not sure it these are already known/fixed, so I decided to list those I found (and caused me to restart the game) and see if any one have any way of solving it (I decided not to use the console to spawn quest items)

1) Kill the shy deers - for 2 times, I only managed to kill 2 of them. They ...

Wow, sounds like it's actually playable on your system. My system also has 512 MB RAM and it's unplayable even on low settings (graphic card GeForce 6800GT 256 MB, AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.0Ghz). Ashen also says it runs fine on his system. Why is it so slow on mine :( ? My computer runs all the other ...

you can do it in two ways.

The hard way: actually the VERY hard way - run in and chop on it. You get burnt, blown away and knocked back. I'll take a Black Troll over a Dragon that way any day.

or you can plug arrows or bolts in to the dragon from a distance if you are skillful enough, you can get ...

running fine in medium with 1GB, R9600XT128 and A64 3000+, note I have 2 ATA 7200rpm HDD in RAID 0 though.

However the game is not as smooth as I like...but still playable. I have to keep the post processing on, since turning it off will cause the screen to flash (very annoying) periodically.
