Good luck with this game, it's a fun game with good atmosphere, I had a blast with it and it's nowhere near as bad as the niggers in this forum make it out to be.
Content wise the game feels sparce despite being in space. Chapter 1 the game peaks which is pathetic. The remainder of the game is load screens and subpar gameplay searching solar systems with sparse content. The journey feels pointless like pillars 2 there are no good villains, stakes are not quite there the story is not lethal enough. The problem with crpgs that are too much power fantasy and player agency the narrative tends to suffer. Risen 2 was a better game.

My God, I loved all the Gothics (also the third, yes) and Risen 1 but, please, don't come in any thread and say that Risen 2 is better than something else.

I'm sad to say that but, beside the setting, the game is uninteresting at most.

You see the sector map and think "wow I bet there's a lot of side content there!"

There isn't.

And finished my run, overall it went smoother then my first attempt at launch where entire questlines got broken or failed or seemed scrambled.
0 bugs encountered that i noticed, could be i just got lucky but yeah had a good time this run and was able to just play the game with 0 issues.

Clearly the Goth Girl dlc saves this game and devs should do more dlc of this ilk in general.

But on a more serious note, yeah dlc is good. Not only in terms of content but the main questline is solid and made me really hate the antagonists, although granted it might be because i went the icolonoclast route and the dlc enemy is the perfect foil to such silly beliefs.
Hell before this dlc i viewed said faction as mere annoying pests but i now view them as genuinely more evil and dangerous then even chaos daemons because at least daemons know they are lying to you and toying with you.

And i reckon a 40k nerd saying "your story is good enough it completely changed my perspective on x faction" is a decent compliment.

Otherwise my main complaint is I expected a final followup quest:

Specifically after you find the ship that all the genestealers came from. Maybe a space hulk like mission or something to do in chapter 4 after you leave commorragh.
Instead you get your hard boss fight, go to the ship for answers, get them and...nada, thats it. Unless i missed something I feel like there was supposed to be a final twist or reveal or a final lead to investigate.

Sounding more and more like the game will be at its best to play for the first time once the final DLC comes out. Something to look forward to!

Came back to the game after a long time and went through act 1.
Love the game but the experience is worse this time around. I preferred the game being riddled with bugs than being bored to tears, because there is no point at carefully planning a build or playing strategically, on unfair.
Combat on daring felt more challenging (at least when you deliberately tried not to break the game) before the balance patches. Could be the new broken companion or the broken pyro, the broken ultimates, or the broken progression

Feels more like an adventure clicker at this point.

How many hours of content do you want? The base game is in total 120 hours, DLC is 15 hours.
The length decreases replayability too.
RT is good despite it's length but we really are in need of shorter 30h games.

Since Void Shadows was delayed the tax evasion DLC probably wont come out until next year.
Every single company and developer wants that sweet Christmas money. Owlcat is no different that's why they released unfinished RT just in time before Christmas. So I think the DLC will come out in December.

I bought the season pass yesterday but I am waiting until next big patch to play it from start with new DLC. I just need to finish my current Iconoclast run that I started before summer before that.

Depending on how the next big patch will look I might finally do that Heretic run or I might just do another Dogmatic run, that one was way more fun and cooler than Iconoclast.

Good, I started playing yesterday because I thought I should wait till December so I can play the game with all DLC's, 6 month is enough time for me to forget the game main plot and replay it.
