Hello Quy!
I think Risen will be released at the same time in Deutsch and English. My question is if we will have different installers for English and Deutsch or we will have a singular installer with the option to choose for English or Deutsch (like in Gothic 1 International Edition). (or even Russian, Polish..., all fitting in a 9GB DVD). I ask this because I plan to travel to a German speaking country to buy the game (Austria is closer to me) but I'm not so good in Deutsch and I'd like to play Risen in English.
And the second question is if you have already thought about a Collection Edition with something special like a special item or a detailed map of the world.

Hi Quy, I wanna know something about the spellcasting system, or to be more precise, about how we cast the spells, specially the projectile ones, how do we target and shoot them:
1-Automatically: Like in Gothic 1-2-3 where you only have to highlight the target and press the action key (left mouse).
2-Manually: Like the archery system of Gothic 3 or like in TES: Oblivion, in where we have to aim manually with a crosshair.
3-Both of them: we can choose or toggle them with a key or by setting it on the options menu.
4-Neither of them: You guys want to bring something new. Don't tell me the details.

I would also like to ask about magic system.

Will ther be any special spells apart from those regular one that we see an all gothic games? Some special sort of defensive spells maybe, or even some completly neutral spells?

Allow me to take that off Quy's shoulders: He's not allowed to tell us anything about the magic system yet. He wrote that in the german thread today. I'm afraid we'll just have to wait...

Is there any chance that in the undefinte future we could see an addon for G3 like NotR was for G2, made by PB? One that would fill the gaps in the story and gameplay, also adding new stuff?

No there isn't.

1) I really don't know anything about the individual editions. It is the decision of our publisher Deep Silver.

I am just curious:
May I ask you why you want to travel to Austria to buy the german edition, if you want to play in english? I don't know where you live, but why don't you just import the english edition?


2) Yes of course, we have already thought about a 'Collector's Edition'. Ralf actually asked a year ago in the german forum for some suggestions. I also can tell you, that we will have a 'Risen Collector's Edition'. But I don't know the state of the affairs. In personally would like to have the same things by myself.


Kind regards,

Quy

I live in Romania. I've never seen any Gothic games at stores here.

Try this, I just bought it http://www.magazinultau.ro/Gothic_Universe-p-57830.html

A very decent price.

Also you find the gothic games stand alone at the most decent prise.

EDIT: How easy will Risen be to mod?

What is the name you guys use for the game from SB: Arcania or Gothic 4?

[iab]

thank you for you reply, Quy

from the Risen Preview @ PC Gameplay we know that both inquisition troops and clerics can be found in the stronghold, which is quite like paladins and fire mages. Ralf told us that the inquisitor is very strong, both magical and physical; and he has qiute a few secrets.

So the inquistor has wide and deep magic background, like Xardas, doesn't he?
(i think answering this question won't spoil anything )

can players use only keyboard to play, and freely config the keys?

[RobinHood 13.]

I definitely liked the low chubby gnome thingies.
Hope they're not only enemies, more like another race, possible to talk to so on..
Skeletons looked really cool.
My question is:
Seems animations are very similar to gothic 3, but how about fight system, will you make completely new fight animations to Risen, cause to be honest, I didn't like them at all.

It is a nice sunny day and we all are in a good mood.

I definitely liked the low chubby gnome thingies.

And we all here love them.

Skeletons looked really cool.

Thank you. I am glad that you like them.

Of course some animations can remind you of the ones in Gothic 3, if the same animator create them.
But I can tell you, that every animation in Risen is new. And in my opinion they look really better than in G3.
You also have to keep in mind, that we now have two animators, Andre Hotz and Dietrich Magnus. Good job, you guys.

Have a nice weekend

ok the first question is removed, hope this one can get answered.

[bat_boro]

So when can we see some screenshots of the dialogue screen? :P

[KillerB]

Hi Quy

I only have 2 questions. The first was probably asked and answeared but since both are related I hope I'm safe to ask it anyway.

So here goes:

1. Will there be skills like Alchemy, Smithing and so on?

2. If so, will your skill points have a greater impact on what you do, instead of just allowing you to learn a skill?

By this I mean, for example, that at Smithing Skill 30 I can produce a Sword that does 50 DMG, but if I raise my skill to 40, I would be able to produce the same Sword with a 55 DMG. The same goes with Alchemy, the higher the skill points the more powerfull the potion. This would give a new purpose to raise your skills. At least I think so

Thanks and Cheers.

Hi Quy. I've seen an early in-game screenshot with the quickbar. My question is how many slots will it have and if there will be a way to hide it. And also if we can interact with the inventory without using the mouse.
Can you tell us something about what actually means this "innovative and intuitive user control interface"?

[Kronner]

Hi!

1) Are you guys going to support proper Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering this time?
2) What about bloom and blur? I hope you exclude these pathetic console effects. Or at least make them optional.
3) Is there going to be a level cap?
4) Are there going to be some unique weapons which can be obtained only by doing some quest or something like that?
5) Is there going to be a romance subplot?

[Maladiq]

Hi!

From what I remember, you could have turned off the post-processing effects in g3.

Hi, Quy,
Does the setting of Risen have any steam-punk elements, I mean there might be no in the game, but in the overall universe of Risen?

[Zocky]

well, just one simple question.
Can you tell roughtly when will we see first ingame video? (that isn't shaky cam :P). I can't wait to see Risen in motion!
