Exactly. Those saying its not good have no clue what they're talking about.Risen 1 had the best melee combat on PC until Dark Souls arrived.
Also it has Fred.
Yeah, figured that out just now too and I played through the game.what the fuck you can hold your mouse to keep drinking from the barrel???????????oh my god..so much time wasted on that shit
I played Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 back to back right after Risen. Gothic is the better game overall, but its Risen 1 > Gothic 2.Overall game is definitely inferior to Gothic 1 and especially 2 though, in pretty much every aspect.
Dude, just put your fucking RPG comparison in your sig. Every fucking thread you posted on you eventually post your little comparison. PB games>>>>>>>every other RPG ever made. Don't you get tired of typing that shit up? Put it in you sig and be done with it.I played Gothic 1 and Gothic 2 back to back right after Risen. Gothic is the better game overall, but its Risen 1 > Gothic 2.
Tutorials are one of the most offputting things an RPG can feature. A lot of older games are easy to pick up and play, even after many years and much time spent, because it brings you right into it from (or almost from) the get go. If I don't complete a post-2005 game on the first attempt - which, considering how boring many of them are, is not likely - I often can't be bothered to play through that first slow, excruciatingly handholding half hour/hour of unskippable substandard content again.
But optional is fine.
Bullshit. Lies. Also: moranGothic games do have utterly shit combat. Getting "good" at it only involves abusing the idiotic AI or over-leveling to the point where all combat becomes trivial.

I think it's a similar thing with Risen. I can easily imagine the importance of exploration will not be obvious for many players. In Risen, the benefits of exploring aren't exactly obvious. It's not like Skyrim where there's tons of things lying around or 751 caves waiting to be plundered; the gameworld is designed in a more coherent, mature way that can be either pleasantly surprising or stupidly frustrating.
