Patch is working for me now, saw I got XP for reading stuff. Good stuff.
How much xp is it?
You mean you started over entirely?
The patch didn't work for me at first either. I think maybe it just needed a reboot or something. It seems to be working now. I get XP for reading books, etc that were already in my inventory.
Um, I think 10 XP for some things, but more for others (journals are 20 XP I think?) I tested the patch yesterday and the reading didn't give XP but started a new game and today it's working.
Hasn't been available for me on GoG yet!!
It's available for GoG- Galaxy users, but not for everyone else. There is a 2 page complaining thread about it on their forums.
Now if that isnt jank, i dont know what is. It probably isnt worth the investment. I guess this is the first time they put this in their games so I think in their next game, they will massively increase the values to 50 to 100xp each dependend on the item.
That's not true. You got XP for reading in the Gothic games. In Gothic 1/2 it was XP and in G3 it was Ancient Knowledge.

I wonder why the values are so low then. That experience is like killing 2 of the weaker "bird" enemies at the start, meanwhile killing a reaver nets you 150xp which is 7.5x the highest you can get for it.
Back to not getting XP for reading. Damn. Anyone having this issue?
The XP from reading does seem a little inconsistent, but I suspect it's just not always showing it onscreen. I leveled up after reading something the other day despite it not showing the +25 XP.
This is where actual numbers would be nice instead of just a colored bar for XP.
The latter.I can't figure out if Ray is bugged or if he's just an asshole.
