Risen is a pretty good game. It has a great second chapter which takes up 2/3 of the game but the 3th and 4th chapter are just running around mindlessly to locations to pickup stuff.
(although lol at Hardcore RPG = Picking everything up and cooking your own food )
Your Blind! You are just starved for ANY RPG Action. I dont think you could name one RPG you hated.
PERFECT? Are you Insane? The MAP & Quest System are TERRIBLE, the map is a static image with NO ability ot set waypoints an NO landmarks or points of interest marked. Your GOLDEN arrow nearly disappears in it and you cant even FUCKING ZOOM IN.
The Combat is Block, mash, block, mash, put enemy against wall, block, mash, repeat. And you only engage one enemy at a time, while you get flanked.
You probably could name me a single character from this story thats memorable or can go up with the likes of the RPG namesakes.
The storyline is boring and theres never any epic moments.
You like RPG's and thats fine, but just know there are FAR Superior ones out there.

And yes, the map and quest system were p. much perfect. Giving you a complete dialogue log so you can re-read instructions and a map that has points of interests as little houses on the map is far superior to any handholding like Oblivilol.

Nah, by that time you get teleport stones and it's 90% teleporting around and killing lizardmen in the ruins.

It even seems to lag much. See when he falls and get the Idiot achievement (how appropriate) for instance.JarlFrank said:Holy shit does the XBox version look ugly in comparison
Ever heard of real maps?Zeus said:Lord of the Rings Online has a cool compass system. It directs you with the standard dot, but when you get close enough it goes away and shows a giant blob colored area instead. The point being, here's the general area, now you find it.
It's a nice compromise between being on your own and blindly navigating by dialog alone, and having a big obnoxious arrow lead the way until you're two inches from your destination.
