Yep, that was in it. Utterly pointless.

Because it is? No idea how you could push on after the boring savannah region. The caves/dungeons were all the same with mostly the same enemies and randomized loot chests.

Every RPG is filled with generic caves and repeated enemies. How can you push on in anything?

Not many games have card collecting as the core of their magic system, or base their locations on Africa and China. That's the opposite of "generic."

Risen 2 for 6 bucks? Meh, I'd get it.

Hoping Risen 3 is gonna be 60+ percent off on Christmas because I'm sure as shit not buying it for more. Plus they still haven't released the first patch - if they're even working on one since Deep Silver can be bunch of cocksuckers in this regard. Without even basic patching and rebalancing I'm not getting that game at all.

Darth Roxor died on the cross to save you from playing Risen 2 and 3.

This is how you repay him?

I played Gothic I first, didin't get into it. Played Gothic II loved it - played G1 again and loved it too.
The atmosphere in G1 with the dome, the gritty world and characters, the German voice acting and the soundtrack. It sucks me right in. I played it to death trying to finish it ironman, my best run ended at the Sleeper. Forgot after so many runs and excitement of not falling into lava to effectively kill the fucker.

Yeah, Gothic 1 is awesome. Gothic 2 gets a lot more props, and is better in some ways (larger, more polished, etc), but for pure atmosphere, G1 can't be beat. The 3 camps, the mines, the prison idea, so good.
