Since the square ad was added, pages that use {{t|floatingtoc}} have generally been a bit messy looking. I've switched the default to left-alignment and fixed a few of the odd cases that I found. Please let me know if there are any major impacts that I've missed. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 21:33, 19 February 2020 (UTC) | Since the square ad was added, pages that use {{t|floatingtoc}} have generally been a bit messy looking.

== Gothic II versions == | |||
There are two versions of [[Gothic II]]: vanilla and gold which includes Night of the Raven (NotR), an add-in. Not really an add-on because it adds stuff as part of the base game, not a new chapter. | |||
Nowadays few people would play Gothic II vanilla, I think. On Steam and GOG you're getting the gold edition today, nothing else. So unless you're installing it from a CD-rom you bought many years ago, you've got the NotR add-in. | |||
As I'm adding bits to the walkthrough, it is possible that some stuff doesn't apply to or is different in vanilla Gothic II because I'm obviously playing Gothic II gold. Wouldn't it be wise to just ignore the existence of Gothic II vanilla here and dedicate the entire guide to Gothic II gold?

:The goal is to have coverage of all versions of the game, so things that aren't part of the original game should be pointed out with the sidebar template like on [[Gothic II/Walkthrough]]. If you're not sure, then write it out as vanilla and someone can fix it later. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 14:01, 27 February 2020 (UTC) | |||
::Alright, I will. There is no apparent way to disable the add-in and I'm not really interested in looking up every detail to check if it applies to the original as well. When reading [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/561413-gothic-ii/faqs/24278 this guide by Ellusion] which appears to be kind of famous I sometimes notice that something in the guide doesn't seem to be quite right. It's extremely comprehensive but it was written for Gothic II vanilla. For the most part it applies to G2+NotR as well, but not always. And no, I don't copy anything from it (that's not allowed and I prefer to omit plot details unless needed), but I need a guide too.
