guys, you do not have to inform you about risen, I'll explain you :

Risen = gothic 2

it's from the gtohic developpers who just lost the rights of the brandname gothic, but risen = gothic 2 with nicer graphics.
the thing is ... gothic 2 was in my opinion the best western RPG ever made, it's rough it's dirty, people talk bad language, you can explore a HAND CONSTRUCTED, BREATHING world, items feel so unique, not just like 'uuh +5 intel ring', when you find a new sword you'll really go nuts about it.
in short : we germans just love it, a gothic game sells 500 000 k without any quality here ( check gothic 3 ), a quality gothic liek 1 and 2 sells in the millions in germany alone.

so maybe you prefer the shiny elderscrolls series.

I played both franchises and had my fun with morrowind ( oblivion not so much, couldnt get into it at all, too generic imo ), but the time I had with gothic 2 was so brilliant that i didnt stop till I had it through with all 3 character - ways ( I usually rarely repeat games ).

but it's not easy to get into... you'll maybe have to work into it.

very very big recommendation from me, I go nuts about this game.
and it's practically bug free, piranha bytes did their homework this time.

p.s.: gothic 3 is a very good game now, too, after all the patches. not like 1 and 2 , but very good game



How can 720p be considered HD when it looks like ugly snow grains on my 22'' screen?
