What exactly does "climbing" mean in this usage? Ability to walk up steep hills? As far as I remember there is no climbing animation.
Jumping on the other hand...that's a bad omission.
I'm sure they mean climbing in the G1/G2 sense (that was watered down in Risen due to lack of jump height and world design). Apparently you can still climb in Risen 2... but... wait for it... only in designated spots. Ugh.
The swimming thing I'm not as concerned about because it was never really a big part of G1/G2. Sure you could swim but -- to my knowledge -- there was never anything underwater to loot/explore and maybe only two or three instances in the series where you could reach some notable location only with swimming. I also didn't really expect it since it was absent from Risen 1.
