ELEX is currently on sale on Steam

I don't know, just remember the colossal fuckup that was Risen 2.
Piranha Bytes has never made a bad game, Risen 2 and Risen 3 just aren't as good as the rest of their library.

I tend to agree, I have played all PB games and they all very entertaining but Gothic was superior to Risen but Risen had its moments like the sailing component and exploration and then I enjoyed the whole pirate theme\narrative
But PB has never made a "bad " game by most gamers standards who appreciate this type of single player, sandbox RPG design

Risen 3 is the very definition of a bad game, someone can find Risen 2 attractive like Falksi but when it comes to Risen 3, the love towards PB fades away.

Risen 3 was better than Risen 2

In some ways, but it's just too poorly balanced. If you play it like any other Piranha Bytes game, then you become overpowered roughly 35% into the game. After that, the game is no challenge even if you don't use companions or magic.

It does have the best Patty though, so that's a couple of supple arguments in favor of R3. But it's not enough.

So just like Risen 2? The difference is that combat does not completely suck in 3.

Funnily enough I actually think Patty from Risen 2 is the best in the series hands down, its the only one where she doesn't look like some kind of prostitute.

Yes, in Risen 3 she looks like a pornstar with fake, enlarged boobs. Unfortunately, the PC of this game is Patty's brother, so he doesn't even get to know her better.

How dare you! This is peak female physique. She's your character's half-sister, and probably the kind that'd "get stuck" in the dryer. Caja in should be modeled after this for ELEX 2.

The protagonist from Risen 3 was changed from Risen 1,2 nameless hero to Pattys brother because the original german voice actor was sick.
That explains why Patty is so sexualized while being your sister ingame.

I wish we had more games like risen one. Playing a medieval rpg that takes place in a tropical jungle instead of the usual highland Forest was refreshing.

PB when creating love interests for your character:

Caja was JarlFrank-bait the way she goes around unshodden everywhere, including the frozen north where she'd be at risk for frostbite. There's even a scene where she gets knocked down and they put in the effort into making her soles dirty.

Of course the other option is the project director's wife/a developer self-insert. :M

It IS mandatory. Really missed her feet being dirty all of a sudden. Thx.

Nasty is obviously Jennifer Pankratz.

A less shy version, looks like. Maybe what she is behind closed doors.
