Quy, why does it happen that everywhere the same info pops up? Everyone says that the main platform is x-box: ign, the french dude, even the ds website

[Zocky]

One question guys. Some people are still confused about xbox360 port.

So, Can you comfirm or deny what i'm going to say?
Is it true, that while both pc and xbox version is being worked simultanionsly, that you could say that it's being made firstly in mind for PC. I mean, you, PB, is working for PC and only PC (or so i understand), and some other teams is just doing a port (i'm sure very good port too)?

What i actually want to hear is, that i assume it's not true that game is made primarly for console.

And so this also isn't true that some guys said, that game is firstly made on consoles and will also be released first for consoles and that only then you will make PC port. Can you comfirm/deny this?

Sorry for these questions, but some guys still for some strange reason thinks that Risen will mainly be made for consoles and will only come as pc port later, which from what i understand, is not true at all.

[Quy]

We are developing for the PC and another team is doing the port for us.
But you have to believe me, the interface and the controls are optimized for the PC AND for the console independently from each other.
I think you will be glad to hear that.

Oh yes we are And the camera is optimized for the pc as well. We are most afraid that the game will suffer too many influences from the console mainstream, like huge armors, very colored thingies, very spectacular and unrealistic animations etc

Are we seeing fire-arms at last? As far as I can remember in the Gothic universe do exist guns, so I been wondering if you guys finally see fulfilled the idea?

To tell the truth Im tired of this magic spells crap Id be more appreciate if you give us guns and some orks to shot at

Oww...too bad...anyway one more question goes:

What kind of music do you expect in the game? The same beautifull melodies inspired Kai Rosenkranz but in different variation or should we wait for something fundamentaly new?
And, how many pieces (or should I say masterpieces) of music are we gonna listen?

Thank you

[Moondre]

Another pack of questions.

1) Will be another companions like Sara?
2) Can hero cast spells only by runes, or will be some scaled spells?
3) Will be animations of skeletons as in G1-2 or like G3?
4) I was very glad to use journal in G1-2, but in G3 it has lost its structure, so it is bad enough. So what journal in Risen like to?

Thanks.

[TheDoctor]

Two more questions.,

1) Will there be a narrator for the story, like Xardas in G1-G2?

2) What can you tell us about the opening sequence? Will it be somewhat explainatory and depthful (again I have to refer to Gothic 1), or will it be quick and diffuse (as the intro for Gothic 3)? How much weight have, or will, the animators put into it?

Thanks!

Bullshit. I do not consider Consolers any less intellectual or "mainstream" like that you describe then PC gamers.

However, I think hardcore fans of Gothic are something different then hardcore fans of Final Fantasy. Doesn't mean Final Fantasy fans are more mainstream (you make it seem like mainstream are stupid) just because they have a different taste then yours..

Hey Quy, I was wondering if there will be any "mundane" quests in Risen like in Gothic, where you give people water, pull turnips, collect fake mining shares etc. I know some people didn't like these quests, but I thought they brough the game alive, and made it feel like the NPCs in the game were people with normal needs who didn't just need someone to kill some monsters that were attacking his farm.

[iab]

hello Quy, i watched part of the youtube videos and i can sense that Risen does have Gothic 1 feeling, you don't know how happy i am.

could you please tell us that, whether you are considering of making multiple fights possible in the final game, or is it completely impossible?

thank you.

[aqwerty]

It was told that if a guard catches you he'll force you into the inqisition.
My question is:

If i join the bandits will i be able to abuse this and also join the inqisition by letting a guard "catch" me thus joining both fractions?

As much as i like gothic1 i don't like the ability to change guilds there.

So will i be able to change my fraction after i joined one in risen?

[Quy]

Wow I had a lot of fun at the RPC. I was really proud to see the big Risen booth and all the visitors with a Risen shirt on. And everyone who played the demo liked it. Awesome!

Kai said at the Role Play Convention something about that the music will be less pompous (like in G3) but more melodic. The music will have more solo instruments (guitar, violin, wind instrument).

Another pack of questions.

1) Will be another companions like Sara?
2) Can hero cast spells only by runes, or will be some scaled spells?
4) I was very glad to use journal in G1-2, but in G3 it has lost its structure, so it is bad enough. So what journal in Risen like to?

Thanks.

1) Sara won't be the only companion in Risen. I always like it, if someone accompanys me in a game. And I can tell you something, there wil be some nice surprises.
2) The magic system ist still a secret, I am sorry. What I can tell you, is that we have rune magic and also many more offense, defense and transformations spells.
4) As far as I know, the journal will be like G3 but extended with more informations.

Yes there are some "mundane" quests. If there are too many of them, I don't like them either. But I agree with you, if there are once in a while some of that "mundane" quests, they are good for the atmosphere.

If you mean, that more than one enemy will attack you at the same time, then there will be multiple fights in Risen. Some visitors of the Role Play Convention already reported about the fight system. Among other things they wrote that opposing groups won't stand in line to fight against you.

edit: I just noticed that Pencilman translated parts of a review from OnkelDead. Thanks a lot. Here: http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum...&postcount=328

No, if you once belong to a fraction, you don't have the ability to change them.



Have a nice day,

Thank you Quy, thank you Mike, thank you guys all in PB! And thank you Pencilman!

Hi, can anyone tell me what the name of those spiky creatures the hero fights are the beginning of the game is?

The german word is "Stachelratte" which can be translated to spike-rat (how it will be called in the official translation is not known yet). Think of a mixture between a porcupine and a rat.

[Maladiq]

Goblins, scavengers, wargs, wolves, Shadowbeasts, Trolls, Lurkers, snapers, Minecrawlers, Field Raiders, lizards....those were cool fantasy creatures and scary as well...

Quy, what is the number of different beasts/monsters we'll meet in Risen? Demonium counted 11 from Gothic, but there are a lot more. How many will there be in Risen?
