Hey, glad to hear it's working, tom!
Yeah, it's such a big open world I was lost for ages, and spent a lot of time running away from things. For me it added to the early game tension, knowing you had to be careful where you stepped, scout out areas, keep your eyes open.
Once you get a feel for the layout of the world it all falls into place. I like that there's no hand-holding in this. Someone tells you where to go, and you have to find it. Like Morrowind.
Once you get magic things get easier. Although it's quite some time into the game before you get powerful, if you conserve early learning points to save for magic investment later, you'll be all pew-pew on those orcs!
It's perfectly possible to play as a fighter too, if you prefer to bash things. Though I think most people find rangers a bit tricky to play.
Risen is really just a watered-down and graphically-updated version. It runs a lot better and without the bugs that plagued the original release of Gothic 3, but I like my RPGs with scope and atmosphere!

aye yeah its very atmospheric, playing loud with headphones at night you hear all the wolves howling and the enviroment, the game world is great.
Learning points? Think ive missed something here lol, is that what you spend on things when you level up, as i dont think ive done that yet and am about level 5.

Risen was ok for the first 2 chapters but became tedious and uninspired in the second half of the game which is a shame. Another thumbs up for Gothic 3, was much better overall (with the community patch).
Gotta agree with this, 2nd half of the game kinda let it down
