Indeed, they are from the alpha/prealpha version of gothic. Search youtube, you will find at least 2 in game videos.

Oh, forgot to ask one thing,
Will there be riddles in the Risen? Like those in Gothic 2: NOTR, where you have this ghost(forgot the name) to whom you must answear some riddles.
Would be cool if you are stuck in some place, and you must answear some riddle to someone, like ghost, or guardian, or something, and if you do not, your health is reduced a bit. And you only gets out if you answears all riddles correctly. Would be especially intresting for some side quests, i think that would make exploration a lot more intresting.

Hi there!
In case you guys where wondering why my posts got so scarce lately:
My work on Risen ist almost done, and since I am working as a freelance-artist, I work more from my own studio in at the moment.
Sadly this means, I don´t allways have the latest news on the project, since I am not as closely involved as before.
But Quy has taken over the responsibility to answer your questions on a daily basis- so you will not have any further gaps between posting your questions and the answers provided by the PB staff. Also Michael is quite busy posting in this thread...
So please forgive me if I am just a spectator for a while and feel free to ask Quy all the stuff you want to know.
Cheers!

Ladies and Gentlemen, heeeeeere's Quyie!
Please give Quy a warm welcome for he has willingly accepted the burden to answer our questions beside his normal duties in the studio. I think you'll find that he is just as nice and polite as Ralf and will make an excellent successor. I'm sure he will tell you a bit about himself.
Of course, the old rules still apply. This thread is a special gift from Piranha Bytes we should cherish it and not fill it with idle chatter. Post only questions to PB here and try to keep them clear and not too long so that Quy can handle the amount of text in the little spare time he has for this thread.
Welcome, Quy!

Hi everyone,
and thank you for the nice introduction foobar.
I was surprised and sad either when Ralf told me, that he would quit. With his nature he got a lot of friends in the community.
But I was honored when Ralf asked me, if I could follow his footsteps.
I am looking forward to my new tasks, but I also need some time to grow into the function and to get an overview. Please have some patience with me.
Also excuse my failures in grammar and spelling, I am not really use to write in english any more. But I think this situation will change now.
A little abstract about myself.
My name ist Quy Hoang, I am 26 years old and round about one and a half years a Piranha.
I startet as an intern and happily I was employed three months later. Since then I am working as an 3D and 2D graphic artist for the level and character department.
I wish you a good start in the new week.
Kind regards,
Quy

Hello, Quy, it is nice to have you here. I Brought here all the questions that were not answered. Although a few seemed not so worthy of bothering someone's time (a few of them are mine) I let you decide which to answer. I wish you a pleasant time here in the forum with us.
And Ralph, no, you will not be forgotten, and certainly not forsaken

Ralf, I hope you'll still come here from time to time to tell how you're doing. We'll miss you.
Now to much brighter stuff. Welcome, Quy, good to have you around. I hope you will learn to love us.
Oh, it seems you have a lot of work ahead of you.

Welcome Quy hope you'll like it here,take your time to adapt and have fun.
Would you mind sharing with us some info about the magic system?
As our skill in magic(mana?)grows will we see any new animations in old spells or faster casting times?
Farewell Ralf we will definitely miss you.

We'll miss both Ralf and Jenny (but I'm already a great fan of comixfactory.de so I'll meet Ralf there!)
Hello Quy! Welcome to our Forum!
Q1. Have you played Gothic1?
Q2. Do you think Risen is more similar to Gothic 1 or Gothic 3?

Just stopped by to say Hi to Quy and HUGE thanks to Ralf for all his work here. Farewell Ralf Marczinczik

Good morning everyone,
and thank you all for the nice welcome.
And hey Maladiq, thank you for collecting all the open questions.
But you all have to excuse me, that I can't answer all your questions. Especially most of the ones about the gameplay and the story.
But I suppose that after the Role Play Concention in Cologne, where the public is able to play Risen for the first time, more informations about the gameplay will be published.
What I can tell you is that it is kind of a Minigame.
Sorry, I can't generelly answer questions to the Gothic Games. That is because I didn't work on them. I just can answer questions about Risen. I hope you don't mind.
Instead of Ralf, I will give you my opinion. It is very easy: what I like most about Risen are the gnomes. Let's face it, everybody in this company loves the gnomes. Their look, their animations and behavior, ... everything fits togehter.
But what I also really like: there is one idyllic spot, in the middle of a forest. If you'll see it later by yourselves, you will know what I mean.
We are optimizing constantly. Nearly every day I hear someones saying: "Hey I have delete ... and optimized ..., and it is noticeable faster yet".
Pixel have already revealed in the german board, that you can enjoy Risen on a 600 - 800 Euro PC. He also wrote that the test system(Intel Quad Core processor and a NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GTS) can run the game at maximum detail, without any slowdowns (and the optimization of Risen isn't completed yet).
Never say never.
To be honest with you, I like martial arts, but in my opinion it doesn't fit in a RPG like Risen or Gothic. The only RPG (where it does fit) which comes to my mind, was Jade Empire.
You can keep your hat!
Q1. Yes I have played Gothic 1, and it is a great game. But I have to say, in contrast to Gothic 2 I didn't finish the game.
Q2. I would say it is more like Gothic 1. Two (in my opintion relevant) examples: Risen has chapters, the main quest is more important.

Goodbye to Ralf and thank you for all your work, and welcome to Qui.
I also have a question. ATM I'm playing Mass Effect and I think it's a great game. I recently saw some news about the upcoming Mass Effect 2. The developers of this series said that in ME2 will will be able to use the saves from the first ME so that the game will know who died in the first part (you have to take a lot of decisions in this game, and some of your crew members might die based on your decisions).
I think BioWare had a fantastic idea with this approach. Do you think it is possible to make something similar with Risen and (hopefully) Risen 2?

You are welcome
Quy, I read part of the Gameplay Magazine preview and there is something that bothered me? How is the reputation system going to be? Subtle like in G1 and 2 or that stupid numeric values like in g3? I don;t want to see "+1 reputation with the rebels" texts in the game. Characters should hint at how they feel about you, not tell you that they like you 34 % or some other stupid things like thisFor the most recent Elex news, the new Piranha Bytes RPG, visit us at World of Elex!!!

Hello Quy!
Are the riddles and traps in the dungeons repetitive or every trap is an individual?
I just don't like the "Minigames" feeling, i can understand it for lockpicks, but wouldn't like the traps and riddles to be repetitive.

Thank you for answer, Quy.
Also, good work collecting the questions maladiq.

I hope you guys had a nice weekend. I could enjoy my one, but of course it was too short.
Yes we already have started the balancing a while ago. And don't worry, I don't think something similar will happen again.
No, our traps and riddles don't have the "Minigames"-feeling as you described it.
I am a great fan of adventure games myself. So I can tell you, that I am also happy about every riddle I can find in a game.
In Risen for example, I can remember one bigger quest that ends with a really nice riddle. So you can look forward to it.
Have a nice monday and a fresh start to your week!
Quy
