- Risen 1 magic crystals are back
- The difficulty in the current beta seems low but is to be adjusted
- Probably hueg landmass to visit
- Combat seems to be more like Risen 1. Timing LMB clicks is back, right click to hold up a parry, time RMB to do counter attacks, enemies react to your parries and use power attacks
- Dirty tricks, guns and monkey training from Risen 2 are in
- Three guilds, but only one is known so far - ZE MAGES. Pirates will prob make a comeback, but it is unknown to what extent.
- YOU MUST STOP THE GHOSTFLEET!!! @____@
- Lotsa quests already early on, with supposedly multiple solutions and intimidate/silver tongue checks in dialogues.
- Explorashun is atmospheric with all kinds of environments and no loading times (at least on that one island lolololo)
- An optional ASTRAL VISION (tm) that colours all useful shit along the way..... WTF. Also an optional minimap
- Typical npc daily cycles
- Looting KO'd people is back
- QTE minigames with knife-throwing and shit, which are apparently broken as hell in the current beta
- QTE traps hurr, although they are not instakills anymore
- No more alien foliage that grows/shrinks when you get closer :(
- Character screens are like in risen2, FFS
- There's a "soul meter" which seems to be like a karma system essentially. Lie to people or behave like an asshole and it goes down, act nice and get points. Supposedly, the meter will actually affect gameplay, change people's reactions to you, shape the story, influence quests and dialogues, etc.
- Abundance of healing items further reinforces low difficulty.



weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...

i want to believe?

Another theft from WoR forum :) which is a dead forum but at least they have the latest information on the game.

New monsters such as the swamp Golem prove to be a tough adversary, despite NPC escort (right).

The first island in the game called Taranis is a very pretty spot and connects green forests with rugged cliffs and sandy beaches.

The new type of enemy goblins used firearms in combat.

Fencing duels with other swordsmen are particularly challenging. A rain of fire summoned help.

The equally thieving and droll goblins (right) are in Part 3 of one of the party.

As NPC companion is us, the spirit of a former opponent of Risen times to the side.

The novices in the Magicians camp workout in the morning, go an evening at the tavern to drink and go to sleep at night.

As keepers, we use spells that consume magic crystals. Replenishment we build as well as iron and gold into mine shafts.

The vision is impressive, only now and then we noticed in the background beautiful trees and creatures.

Your screens most likely look lovely. It's a shame I can't see them, though.

Wow, the graphics are really, really awful. It looks like a 2002 game.

^Thanks. Cautiously optimistic. I hope I don't run into technical issues with this on PC. Risen worked perfectly fine. The same went for Risen 2, until some point in the game, it would do its best to piss me off with all kinds of annoying crap ruining the game. Played the final battle on less than 10 FPS. I wasn't even aware what was going on. I just kept hitting attack and dodged like a madman.

I can clearly see they're reusing the Risen engine, but they somehow managed to make it look worse than any game they made since Gothic 2.

Fuck, it looks like a low budget MMO.

Game looks fine. Important is how it plays.

Feature list looks good, the most important thing is the exploration, timed combat and faction questing. I can live with qtes and shit if the fundamentals are roght.

Wait a minute. Is that the PC on the left? What happened to the scrawny balding guy we were all laughing about earlier? I'm not kidding, I liked that guy. I hope this means customization and not simply turning him into generic forgettable blandly handsome dude.

I feel weird about Risen 3. I played and finished all Piranha games, including G3 and Risen 2. I even liked them (for the most part) all. But I feel like Piranha are making the same game over and over. They build great worlds for exploration, but the games feel so similar that I just struggle to find any enthusiasm for Risen 3 these days. Hell, I am more excited about fucking Dragon Age 3 now. What is happening to me.

Sounds like you had a stroke if you're looking forward to DA3.
Nah, DA1 was pretty good except for fucking deep roads, and eventhough DA2 sucked, they had lot more time and have lot better engine to make DA3, so it might end up good again.
