Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Where do I sell gold nuggets for a decent price? Does anyone take them for more than your regular merchant? I'm about to enter the mine and want to get rid of my gold nuggets before they confiscate half.

There's a chest to put your stuff in by the entrance to the mine. Blacksmith in the backroom of the office where you negotiate the contract buys them up.

Chapter 3, talk to the paladin who already complained about the sale of Innos statues in chapter 2. He will give you a quest to investigate the traders in chapter 3.

What I really, really like about this game is how much new stuff there is, not even in each chapter, sometimes just a couple of days later you get a follow-up quest resulting from a previous one. Or some new NPC spawned in town who gives you a tiny unmarked quest: a fish seller selling you rotten fish, later a woman approaches you and tells you she also got scammed by the same guy. A game master who wants you to play a shell game with you but then just takes your gold and runs away, calling you a loser. A woman who says her husband hates her cooking and wants you to try her soup to get a second opinion, and when you eat it you have to puke... she concludes her cooking really is that bad and gives you the soup's recipe because you probably have more use for it than her.

There's so many little details that make the world feel alive. Absolute top notch.
They made 200 encounters like the ones you described, even in chapter 5 there are new ones like overpowered knight who roams the land and challenges you to a duel if you manage to defeat him you get 5 leaning points. I thought I saw all the quests but I missed some for sure and I played for 90h In the achievments I see there is a quest for royal guards that I never heard of anybody knows about it?

https://steamcommunity.com/stats/1467450/achievements

Achievment is called:
Royal escort
Lead four warriors in the service of the king to an adventure.

Only 0.3% of players got it so I guess this quest is in chapter 5 and is rather hidden.

In the gold mine,after you leave it the guard tells you that the smith will take your gold nuggets.

Detlow's the Beast, you've got to pester him about it and he admits his guilt. He transformed into animals to learn how they hunt, to become better hunter himself. You can even admit he was right to do so.
Poor quest design lol. Can you do it later on or do you have to do it only when talking to him in the cave? Nobody gave you the idea that you could even talk to him about that.

You get that one by bringing four myrtanian-aligned people with you on the final mission. Royal guard/city guard bros like Lutz or the paladins

If you couldn't talk to him about it then you failed to find the evidence incriminating him during the investigation.

Min/maxxing LP/$ aside, which apprentiship has the best quests/story? Paying Borontir for Alchemy side gig is assumed. Playing as a dex/1hd/bow/guard.

I talked down a 'rebellious citizen'. I'm guessing there were lulz to be had if I had told him I'd join in.

Ive read that you can take that skeleton Fane for this quest
Only if you dont kill him before that you can also take Big ben if you spare his life. Btw the beast of Silbach side quest in chapter 4 has a hidden ending where you learn the truth behind it all. I didnt dig hard enough and got bad ending for it.
What is there to dig,everyone says that it is ork shit,but nobody gives you an option to progress the quest,nor any direction for a possible exploration. I presume that it is the alchemist fag that is making the monsters by dumping toxic waste or something.
I bet that one of the early bounty kills, that weird fire spitting Ścierwojad is somehow related to his experiments. Also his fire belt was shit

I just discovered that eating apples with pastry has a chance to increase your strength.

Is it once every four portions? Seems like it.

It's not chance based. Each 25 apples you eat increase your STR by 1, that includes dishes with apples in them. G2 and (I think) G1 had that too.

Any idea where I can learn to extract minecrawler plates?

There's supposedly an exclusive Araxos trainer for it, but I'm the LAW.

The skill is just called "remove shells" and applies to everything with an armored exterior.

Thanks. Any idea where I can learn to remove shells?

Either the retired hunter who runs the secondary bow/trophy store in archolos or the retired hunter outside the wolf's den, don't remember which.

Thanks, you're right, it's taught by the hunter Nelson outside of Wolf's Den (hadn't explored there yet).
