Sacred Haven of Debauchery

I finished the second Gothic game a long time ago, maybe 6 years ago, or even more. Yes, I played it, but I don't know about the best places to level up and so on. I just came to the city, killing everyone along the way (I remember fighting goblins under the lake, haha). I got a job, wandered around the city, and collected rusty swords and other junk. I killed the first orc only after some time, I don't know how long it took. And yes, I eventually joined the guard, sailed to the islands, and was everywhere.

And I tried playing the first Gothic game about two years ago... yes, I couldn't handle it anymore. The controls seem even worse than in the second game.
