Yo, to generate chapters one needs to add timestamps to the description, i.e: 0:00 Spoilers 3:04 Start here to skip spoilers Interesting to hear you as a narrator (: maybe will give Risen a shot one day. Can't be worse than Gothic 3 ;P
i've played risen 1 and 2 for the first time recently. Risen 1 was awesome for the first chapters to start falling off in the later ones - with the last being the worst (especially the anti-climatic puzzle ending), but still, great time. I've picked up 2 and was disappointed about the world, that almost no one seems to understand what have we done in the first game. The combat was i guess a little bit better, but then i've picked up a gun for my character and the game started to be really easy and tedious. I have not finished it as i encountered game-breaking bug and didn't pick up Risen 3 coz of this. Expected to get a connected story between all three games, not some loose knits between each game. I suspect it is better from business pov - you can pick up any game you want without playing rest of them. I think the game is already very old - if you want to play it, do it right now, as the jankiness will become even more evident in the future :/
As I said in the video I agree for the most part. Risen 2 I wasn't a big fan of on release but I haven't played through it in ages, so I'm not quite sure how I'd find it now. The same is true for Risen 3, although I seem to remember that I found it much more enjoyable than Risen 2. So it may still be worth giving it a shot if you like PB games!
@@humblehornet621 I just always found that by the time I get to be able to learn magic I was already so strong in other skills that there was no point in learning magic, so I didn't find it very rewarding :D
@@humblehornet621 I need to reply the game as a mage, it's been ages! I recently did a Inquisition playthrough were I focused on fire magic though, that was fun.
it does! although it's not a ton. It's more a matter of different playstyles than content. The faction-specific content is mostly confined to chapter 2, afterwards, it's pretty much all the same.
I'm not sure what you mean. Risen came out in 2009. It has since received one patch when THQ released it for the new consoles but apart from that nothing has changed.
I never liked it when devs use a chapter structure in games like this. It's far too limiting. It's better to just have a fully open world, anything goes, and let players figure it out on their own.
Fair enough! I thought it was cool that the world changed in between chapters. Not sure if that is something that was also possible with a seamless open-world, perhaps the devs resources were limited in that regard.
Putting in a time stamp was too difficult, too. Skip to 3:04 for no spoilers!

@@korootz Thank you, that's super helpful! I'll put these in rn.
@@korootzNothing is worse than Gothic 3 :P

A very nostalgic game
Absolutely, I love it!
Risen experience:
1. Decide to play as a mage.
2. You don't even get a spell until chapter 2.
3. Ragequit.
Great game for fighter classes though.
Haha, I know what you mean :D I feel like PH has never been that great at making mage playthroughs fun, it just takes too long to get access to spells
Some might say it is more rewarding that way. But hey 🙂

@@marceltheshelly2030 yeah, I get that. I think it is a tricky thing to balance as mages late game are beasts 🙂

does the game have faction-exclusive stuff? thak uuu❤

@marceltheshelly2030 oh great.i was just lookin for any reason to replay it,on my ps5🥰 i find it has so much in common with 'soulslike' games
@@franciscabdul2828 it does, although it's more forgiving I'd say
What is different about risen and risen 09?

Haha, I'll take what I can get
