I think one problem is that several quests make you kill people who sell skill books.
- I did the teleporter quest and I cannot buy air spells
- You can kill the lizard (fire spells) or fight Griff and his gang (scoundrel skills, maybe even more) if you want to free the prisoner.
- I took Sebille as main char, looks like she wants to kill every lizard in the world and some more people.
The games does not have to liitle combat. A problem is that you can easily get into a hard fight when you have only your starting skills, almost no equipment and no money to buy skills or items.
side note: Gothic 1 is set in a colony for prisoners. They trade all kinds of items and the main trading good is ore that is used to make weapons. If you search the castle, you can find chests with lots of coins, but they are completely useless in the game.
So yes, it makes no sense that prisoners give you tons of gold for a painting that is bigger than the rotten tent they live in.
