Pirate chick looks like a cartoonier version of Ves from Witcher 2.
I will cry and play Gothic 2 again this month. In memory of when PB didn't suck ass.
wha
Gothic 2 was already a sharp decline, especially when it comes to story (G1 had quite an original albeit simple idea, whereas G2 was a copy-paste of the shittiest fantasy stories). The same with the setting, from a sinister and grim setting they went more towards trigger happy fantasy (albeit it was not quite there, it was like a middle ground between those two). NotR was an attempt to fix the shit in G2 (and a successful one!), however, vanilla G2 always remained inferior to its prequel, albeit with finally fixed difficulty and leveling with NotR.I replayed G1 and NotR multiple times while I got bored replaying for the first time G2 (and finally abandoned that).

I have played the first two games so many times that I don't care about story anymore; I know it by memory as well as damn near every bug and exploit. G2 has more to do and so it is the one I often replay.
And it's quite obvious I'm going to use NotR.
The fuck are you even talking about? You act like this is some new unknown game when half this forum has an annual replay of the games and could probably write a FAQ/Guide from memory alone. At least I can, heh.

Risen 3 is already shaping up to be a good game. Looks like the tides have turned and sauerkrauts are now copying potatoes.
This will be Risen 2 2.0.

10 years, 4 rehabs and 3 kids after.
It took you this long to notice?
And that's why I'm now playing Gothic 2 Multiplayer on a polish RP server. Fuck this.
Here's a trailer for the server (they hired the guy who did Xardas' voice): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arp-5jVuBmM

I was lukewarm about Risen 3 until now. But if roguey hates it, it has to be good. Maybe I should buy it on day 1 after all.

Game has looked from the very beginning like Risen 2 + less derp, and it continues to look that way - probably not as good as Risen 1 but better than 2 and a decent game to play.
Huge determinant will be how the combat is balanced though, that video doesn't show much since Gothic/Risen games have always had trivially easy combat when you have someone else on your side (just run around the sides and stab). The real deal is when you are alone (which is how you would be playing it 95% of the time, unless you want easy mode). Rolling seems to be a bit too derpy though, the skeleton cut into him near the end of his roll and it didn't seem to interrupt.
First island seems slightly bigger than Risen 2's first island. It has a nice look with a valley of forests filled with spiders in the centre surrounded by various rock outcrops and elevations.
Edit: After more watching: yeah, skeletons are a bit stupider than I'd like, letting their guard down too often (wonder if that is difficulty-dependent), and rolling is OP. Basic good old PB combat is still there though, and it should be fun enough on higher difficulties.

Well i loved Gothics and right now im playing Risen 1 (Risen 2 was very boring but i finished it - start of that game was really fucked up , later on it was better), and i will buy and play Risen 3.
These games have their own flavour, maybe they are bit flawed in terms of engine, controls or popular crpg mechanics but Piranha and their games are important part of crpg world.
Gothic 3 was great experience (remeber hours lost to optimize it's shitty engine inis after release). Gothic 1 and 2 are very good too, and to say more they have some great and epic mods from Polish , German and Russian community (like
Mroczne Tajemnice (Dark Secrets) for G1, Złote Wrota (Golden Gates) and Global Mod for G2 or excellent community patch with some extra patches and mods for G3.
If i will play DA:I and not Risen 3 i will be feeling like traitor
(i already know they will be just another medium class crpgs - both R3 and DA:I but still it is my duty to play that shit .

WHAT
The translation team was Andrew Walsh, James Leash and Rhianna Pratchett, the original script was written by Bjorn Pankratz. The English version was just a translation in case of the first Risen, unlike Risen 2's complete rewrite

Writing in Risen 2 is considerably more entertaining than in Risen 1, so I hope they keep that style for third game.

They are reselling keys from the steam store that were bought in a region where the game is cheaper. Nothing new.
