With Left Mouse + W you do everything, from picking up things, talking to people and fighting a weapon. I recommend you using Left Mouse + W rathern than ctrl + W, the mouse movement is just faster, better. Pick up a weapon, equip it and press LM+W to do forward combo, and LM+A/D to perform left/right slash. Novice animations are intentonally
Both are great mods for Gothic 2 but after playing big overhauls I feel the need to go back to the original Gothic 2 NotR. I want most mechanics to be the original ones except for a few quality-of-life improvements, e.g. the ability to sprint or a better inventory system.
