You must be... mistaken. There is no Gothic 4. :negative:

2nd: I fucked up DM question.:negative:

To be fair I thought that one was kinda bullshit - they don't play like classes in any way, and it's a surprise to me if the game/manual ever referred to them as that. I certainly never thought of Lands of Lore (which works the same way, except with three skills to level up instead of four) as having classes.

But class is listed for characters on Hall of Champions.

I'm getting no results for 'class' when I ctrl+F. Reincarnate refers to 'skill levels', which is more what I'd call the Fighter/Ninja/Priest etc terms as they apply to this game.

The manual for Dungeon Master refers to Fighter/Ninja/Priest/Wizard only as skills or skill areas, though it implies that each of them contains certain skills, which would make them more similar to classes. :M

Yup, these are skill training areas, not actual classes.

Some characters were hybrids, most were strongly specialized into one of four.
It was interesting to create mana potion, force it to drink character with too low mana to learn priest skills, and force him to train few levels in priest, then wizard. It turned out some of these characters became overpowered monsters.

To be honest, I didn't take the designation from anywhere but my own head. Wizard, Fighter... these are names of classes throughout the whole RPG world. Also, being a Fighter, Wizard, etc. in DM does more things at once (different HP, SP, Stamina, resistances, I believe there was also better progression and successfullness in relevant actions, not very sure though). That was my thinking. I am sorry if it caused more discomfort than fun.

Recent replay of EOB paid off.

Surely there isn't any treasure behind a waterfall in Risen though? I think there's a huge cave system behind one in the southwest (tied to late game quest)... and there's treasure there... so I guess that qualifies in a "trick question" kind of way. But there's no typical "small hidden treasure area behind waterfall"?
It's true that I meant a different treasure, and I haven't been able to find that one so far, but here you go with another one. It's in a cave complex along the western cliffs, near one of the skeletal lord's ruin. It contains a neat speed scroll, golden plate, and some more stuff and is located fairly close to the entrance.
You wrote about a small hidden treasure, etc.; I understand what you mean, your feeling is legit. However, I personally believe that the said cultural reference has got a broader sense, something along the lines of: there is loot to find if you explore thoroughly, this time look behind the obfuscating waterfall curtain. I hope you can be okay with that too.
