near Montera, shortly after the cave with wolves, there is a big cave with scores of bandits. what is their part in the story-line? is it quest related or just an excuse to add up on the XP points?
The loot system in G3 is rather badly done. Basically the loot you get depend on how many "special" chests you open. These chests are often located next to trolls on a mountainside or in remote caves (I found less than half of them in my last playthrough), and the special items found there are barely better than a self forged sharpened bastard sword, a nimrod bow, and a worn paladin shield, that all can be gotten fairly easily and early...
