The principle problem for me with Risen 1 & 2 - & to some extent with Gothic
3 -
was the way large numbers of Quests were thrown at me with out
clearly being shown as to which was the central quest ones , which optional
side ones,
& which semi optional but necessary to build up the character.
I last played Risen 2 stuck at a dock with the clear next main quest step to
leave on the ship.
But Hero had collected so many quests I couldn't work out which to do .
Bored with confusion I haven't played it since.
I thought Risen 1 OK - more adventure than RPG - but clearly a continuing of
the Gothic games.
Gothic 4 Arcania is a dull childish linier mess with bad looks.
I'll admit a soft spot for its standalone expansion Arcania : Fall of
Setarrif
looks good & is fun to poke around its corners & Monsters .
Mercifully there is no sign of an Arcania: Gothic 5.
Don't forget the very last Gothic game - Gothic III Forsaken Gods (with the
final community Patch 2v1)
Its more Gothic 3 & the community patch has it looking fine.
