For a 1h str melee character/hunter who plans to apprentice with the blacksmith and buy alchemy mastery; is Araxos or the guard more fulfilling?

I’ll probably save before making the decision and end up trying both but I’m curious if there’s a consensus.

They both have a melee/ranged path. For the merchants guild you can become a swordsman or a tracker. I believe guards also have a similar path.

Both have pretty comparable vendors and armours, so more a case of pick the one you prefer the "feel" of.

That secret ending where you find your brother alive because you dont waste your time doing pointless side quest for strangers is a real nice idea for a rpg no wonder I found him dead it took 170 ingame days for me to finally find him

The fake drama when Marvin falls to his knees in despair is hilarious considering he shows little to no emotion throughout the game when he talks about his brother.

Also some cringe

Does anyone know where you're supposed to meet Adelard during the Chapter 5 Orc Plague quest?

I can't find him at Rita's Vineyard or the Swamp which seem like the most obvious places.

Guard is pretty much better than araxos across the board, quest-wise.

The only Araxos quest I actually enjoyed was a minor one where you have to convince a fisherman to fix a net for you by telling him a story, except because he's a crotchety old fisherman it only works if you tell him the most boring and uninteresting story possible. That was funny.

They are in the swamp but it is a bit difficult to find them. Instead of going to the cave on the left that you go first time when you go to pirates, go straight into the swamp along the path that curves, if you stick to the path you should find them. You can also go near the orc camp on the south side of the swamp and follow the west path from there, then you should find them.

How the hell did I miss that? Thanks so much. I'd been looking for ages, was worried I'd hit a bug.

I just started 3rd chapter and i just killed few orkish dogs and an orkish scout
:shredder:
They are coming aren't they?
No, there are no Orcs on Archolos. What you killed must have been a Frogman and a Wolf, they are kind of easy to mistake for one another.

Because Archolos proved to be so welcoming to refugees, orcs are coming to culturally enrich the shit out of it as well.

Visit bermans farm in CH5 and find out how

Entire island is flooded with refugees doing nothing useful and attacking people. Saw a woman getting beatings from 3 refugees, they gave her a black eye lol. I enjoy all the extra xp i get from them and people don't seem to mind if you dust a bunch of refugees

I was harassed by a group of hobos in Archolos.

The city is looking more and more like those progressive shitholes i keep hearing about.

There is a quest for city guard about the shitty guard armor from Gothic 2. King wants to take all the good shit from the local guard and sent it to the front.

Everyone is laughing at the shit they sent to equip the guard.
