In Gothic 3 it are two ways to open the console the first is to modify the "ge3.ini"
file. The second is to type Marvin in the game. The second cheat discovered is a bug
very usefull. It work with some items ( plants, some potions, and other you can use)
First use the item. When the effect of the item starts close the inventory. This is 
a good way to obtain life without cheating.

Jumping from the clif:
----------------------
You can greatly shorten your way if you go strait from clif, but not around it. While 
jumping (walking from the clif), press your hero to the wall (if walk forward is W, 
than you have to press S) and when he lands, no life will be taken.


Runing in water:
----------------
While swiming, look at the map. When you turn off the map, your hero will not swim,
but run and it doesn't even matter how deep the water is.


Cheat: Helper to improve faction reputation and spawn items:
------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted by: Nutterz

1. Type MARVIN very fast.
Game will say "marvin mode activated"

2. Press ` button to bring up the ingame console.

3. Input command "spawn sh". Without the quotation marks.

An ingame helper will appear. Talk to him and you are provided with options to 
increase faction reputation and spawn items. Also allows you to move forward in
the main quests. All in the form of standard dialogue options.

4. To turn of marvin mode, type MARVIN very fast again.
Game will say "marvin mode deactivated"

5. When you're done with the Helper, you can kill him to get rid of him.



Running on ground of a lake:
----------------------------
Submitted by: CR2032

If you go to the lake near Silden you are able to run on the ground of the lake. 
To do this you have to go to the smallest place on the map before the river begins 
(right of the small rock, you can look at the village and the sunken castle). 
You should come from the way from Geldern to Silden, and before going left or right 
you easily walk straight to the lake(to this rock exactly), but you have to sprint a 
few meters before "entering" the lake. If you make it at the right place you can walk 
on the ground of this lake and see the castle and other destroyed houses. 
After you entered the lake you don't have to sprint anymore and you don't have to 
breathe.




How to Open the Bl_ody Console:
-------------------------------
Written by Nit

Nothing can open your bl_ody console? Try this.

-=Solution=-
Just like you, mate, I tried:

-=Testmode Tweak=-
(Step 1: go to your \Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic 3\Ini
and in the file ge3.INI change TestMode=false -> TestMode=true)

For many players, this step is enough to see and use the console in the game by 
pressing tilde (~).

-=_compiledImage and _Intern=-
(Step 2: go to \Steam\steamapps\common\Gothic 3\Data and create a folder named 
_compiledImage inside of it, then a folder _Intern inside of _compiledImage)

This step helps if your issue is a through and through black console.

-=Infrared=-
(Step 3: go to your Device Manager and check if there is something-something-Infrared 
in your Human Interface Devices or Keyboards. Get rid of the pesky thing.)

This step usually solves the problem for people with laptops.

-=Unplug the Gamepad=-
(External devices like gamepads sometimes interfere with proper inner workings of 
games, especially ones which do not support gamepads.)

Alright, now, nothing of it helped ya. You have no Caps Lock or Scroll Lock on, you 
patched the game back and forth, and Marvin mode works (press Ctrl + S to display 
some stats, if you can see them then Marvin is on). Compatibility mode with various
previous OCs turns out to be a futile effort. You installed all drivers available 
for your keyboard, you tried remapping the tilde key (which might actually help 
players with keyboards where no tilde key is present).

Nothing works.

Do not despair, let me present you a solution adapted from our German friends:

* Left Shift + Right Shift + Home
* And for Germans in case they wonder, Left Shift + Right Shift + Pos1.
