Missing NPC s
I've completed the game once(as Rebel), and now when I want to complete it as an orc mercenary some characters went missing, for example harek, the alchemist from cape dun or some of hungry wolves. Can it be fixed somehow?
P.S.: Sorry for bad English

They most likely fell through the map. I love the game but at level 46 and 50 hours of play two NPCs have fallen through the map, one at Venguard (Keldron) and a Orc Slayer and Stejnar the smith from the Hammer Clan. Except they fell into the ore furnace and caused all the Orcs to continuesly attack. It has such great potential but even after numerous patches and community work it's still broken as hell. Inserting NPCs doesn't do anything except allow trade any quests are broken. Done and done, I won't invest anymore time in this game for a dice roll if it actually works!
You can get around some of these bugs using something called Marvin Mode, which is a testing mode the developers built into the game. I had to use it on versions prior to the community patches to find NPCs that had fallen through the world. Basically the way Marvin Mode works is that you type "marvin" quickly while in game and you'll see a message onscreen that says "Marvin Mode On" or something like that. Then hit the ` key (there's a ~ above it) to bring up the console prompt. Type "goto Thorus" (or whoever you're trying to reach) and it will bring you to the NPC. Hit ESC to exit from the console prompt. Just make sure you type "goto Whoever" to get yourself back to another NPC once you're done so you can get out from under the world. You can type "marvin" again to turn the developer mode off. If that doesn't work, save and exit from Gothic 3. When you start the game back up, Marvin Mode won't be on. Hope that helps.

Thank you for the tip.
The only thing I would add to this is to avoid using this as a way of fast travelling through the world, as it can cause other problems. Using the teleporter stones works a lot better for fast travel, as it properly loads things in the city you're travelling to. Fast travelling using the "goto" command sometimes doesn't and it may make other things fall through the world.

What worked for me was reinstalling the game. Thanks for all the help.
