I am in the early stages of ArcaniA - Gothic 4 .
Doing the Quests from the first village.

Having just done the 'shoot Deer' Quest I return Hero from the fields to the
village.
He is followed by a single sheep. It won't go away . Just trots along at
Hero's heels
Into the village.
Hero is a bit emotional over killing those Deer (nice n cute creatures)
so is not inclined to just kill this Sheep for a very few points.

Any one else had this ???
I think I'll just leave it following & see what happens.

I've played all the way through Arcania 3x now, and
I never saw this. Plus, the only place in the game
I saw sheep was at the very first hut where Hero
was sitting with the sheep when his girlfriend came
to get him .. she of the cute butt .. so I don't see
any further need for the sheep.

I've just run though these earlier stages of G4 again
as I've just installed the 1v3 patch which requires a new game.

And no sign of that sheep this time.
I wandered all around the field after the Kill deer Quest & couldn't see
any.
I think I picked it up earlier & it had been following Hero ...I just hadn't
noticed.

Hi Johns ;)
Re. Hero's "..she of the cute butt.." its a more than somewhat generous
backside.. & she's very Bossy.
IMO Hero could do better with some of the other Women.
They all have very big Bosoms in action RPG's.
I prefer the Girls in Divinity II.

Later on in the quest, once you and the sheep have levelled enough, you will

tiny hooves.

Oooo! I never knew that.
Something to look forward to.
This Sheep has a determined manner & I think I can see a Wild look
in its eyes so it might be a really good fighting companion.

Hmmm ! ? An interesting feature ! I might just but that game.
But the near hysteria of the Player is hopefully not included.

That's the joke, Trimble.

I got bored with CoJ: Bound in Blood, it gets old quickly. The western
theme doesn't help either.
