Story

- you are again the same nameless heroes of Risen
- he is now living in a small harbour village called "Caldera"
- you are now wearing the Ocular of the inquisitor (story relation not known yet)
- the game is now spread about multiple islands
- there is still the inquisition located on one of the islands
- ..... (more later)
- the story is more complex and will have different consequences depending on your choices
- you will meet familiar faces like Carlos, Gregorius Steelbeard,...


Setting

- pirate setting
- its no longer on Faranga from Risen
- you can travel to different islands by ship (if you can have an own ship is not known yet)
- in the sea lives different sea monsters who attack ships
- it will also have an fast travel system on the islands
- the islands will have different climate zones with different settings and monsters
- guns,canons and othe fire weapons in the game
- there is still magic
- skill system same as Risen
- should feel more realistic than Risen (for example chests who are empty or have rubble in it, but to every chest is a story)
- the world is bigger as in Risen
- side quests should be more complex than in Risen


Graphic / Technic

- animation is now motion captured
- NPCs and monsters more detailed
- bump mapping, realisitc relatime clouds instead of a skybox
- more realisitc faces
- no loading times on the islands and invisible walls only short loading by changing the island
- NPCs talking with each other (for example you can hear a conversation between too NPCs when the treasurer leave his treasure)
- every NPC has a daily routine like in Risen

You're really on the case with the game releases today, aren't you?

I'll be interested if they drastically changed the combat system.

Deadbeat it's because i'm feeling much better in myself after having health issues for so long. Going back to what i enjoy
 
It has now been officially confirmed that the first information about Risen 2 will be released on Febuary 19th. Since the German game magazine "PC Games" will be available to subscribers at that date and there was already speculation about an announced "secred title" in the upcoming issue, it could be concluded that this first information will be in the PC Games magazine.

Hey Neil i noticed you are an rpg fan as you posted a Drakensang thread a while back and i really need help with it lol so if you got a Steam ID or something trust me it please.:)

Also still trying to complete Risen....the start is damn hard for some reason? i like hard games but some monsters seem too strong unless i need some sort of items from somewhere.
 
Sorry sycho i got rid of it along time ago, never completed it either just didn't appeal to me in the end. But on Risen yeh it is very hard at the start, but then it becomes average to very easy. By the time it's very easy the game becomes tedious :(

Great game though

Time for bed ! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Just to warn you, although the game is great overall the last chapter really let the game down. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake with 2
 
Played half way through the first one ages ago but never got round to finishing it. Really enjoyed it though. Been meaning to play it all the way through. Got so many games I haven't played though!

Lovin the pirate theme :)

Been meaning to pick up the first game, how does it compare to divinity 2/gothic 4/two worlds 2 etc?

I found it quite enjoyable. A bit slow to start but then all RPG's are aren't they and difficult to get well enough equipped. End boss was a bit stupid but then again... they all are.

Divinity 2 was good and Two worlds 2 is very good. Gothic 4 was better than I think it has been credited for but I couldn't finish it as I had created a level skilled player and one particular skill was required at the end.

BTW I do enjoy a good RPG so I may be a bit biassed.
