Risen 2

[Kristijonas]

So how is Risen 2 if you've played it already?
And how's the magic system?

This thread could particularly be interesting to Gothic 1-3 and Risen 1 fans, like me

There's a 2 page thread about Risen 2 here:

I'm playing through it now and have been enjoying it so far. I choose the Voodoo (magic) path, but have only recently reached the point when I can learn spells so I can't comment much about it yet. So far i've been able to control a few NPC's with a voodoo doll, but it's pretty scripted so far and you can't control just anyone. I don't know if that changes later in the game though.

Good game overall though. Not quite as good as the Gothic games, but it does a decent job of scratching that itch if you're a fan of those.
