Let's try again: Is this an artwork or a screenshot?

Definitely not an artwork but screenshot.
Probably scanned from Gamestar - they won't like that.

**Zocky** · 04.02.2009 16:24

michael, maybe this is silly question, but how old are those screenshots from GameStar magazin? I mean compared to your current status.

Same here but I thought that maybe the list isn't complete.

Will there be special dialogue options depending on your skills/attributes? If not, could you forward this idea? (In case it hasn't been proposed. Such as:

NPC: No, I will not tell you where it is.
1. Ok, fine.
2. Maybe some gold coins will change your mind?
3. [Strength] Perhaps I can force it out of you.

If you have enough strength, then the answer would be:
[Success] Err.. Ok, I don't want any trouble. It's..
[Failure] Go ahead! "Force" me!

Very nice idea, and welcome to the forum

That is extremely good news, the water is magnificent. Hail Piranhas

You usualy have a source of inspiration for your characters,what was the inspiration (physically and for the personality) for the hero and the Inquisitor? The last one kinda reminds me (far-fetched) of Pierluigi Collina

We have never been exhibitor on trade fairs anywhere. That job is filled by the publisher (and they also have to foot the hefty bills for it), so look for "Deep Silver" or maybe "Koch Media".

Neither Deep Silver nor Koch Media is on the exhibitor list.

@ Michael: Has anyone told you yet that you are going to present Risen at e3, or your presence there hasn't eaven been discused yet?

**rotator** · 08.02.2009 21:33

1. Can you tell us now, what kind of lockpicking mechanism will be in the game?
2. Are we going to be able to sell anything to anybody, or specific vendors buy only specific items?
3. What about the inventory, is it still unlimited?
4. Will there be difficulty levels at start? It would be nice, if harder levels would mean extra quests and content besides the more and stronger enemies.

Wasn't it released with the Gamestar preview? I seem to remember seeing it there among the other screenshots.

Yeah- what got me fazed was the quality of the resolution. Shouldn´t be out yet. The light was noch final on that shot...

Small studio (we are 21 humble people here)- no neet to get drunk on company money in the US...we wouldn´t really register...

Cool suggestion!

Hey, guys!!! Look over here: http://pc.ign.com/index/release.html and search for Risen! The release date is Q3!!!

Speculataions.

Hey Ralf,
I have a question regarding the quest log. Will we see a Gothic 1 type of journal or a quest log like in Gothic 3?

**Comrade 911** · 10.02.2009 17:45

Hello everyone

, I'd like to ask: is it will be possible to change between 1st and 3rd person view in Risen?
And I wonder is there anymore people from Lithuania, or it's only me and Powaz?

**Bruell** · 11.02.2009 07:51

Release Date: September 30, 2009
http://pc.ign.com/objects/958/958271.html

Ralf,

are there going to be monkeys in the jungle and are we going to be able to play instruments? (e.g. drums or guitars?)

can we talk to the bar dancers (lady's)

Zitat von ArtemB1988

The release date is Q3!!!

The release date is what Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes will tell us, not what IGN is telling us.

If you don't hear it directly from Deep Silver or Piranha Bytes it's not a real release date. It's that simple.

**Maladiq** · 12.02.2009 20:35

Sorry if this has already been asked, but there are 7 threads of questions to be searched.

Why was the design of the trolls changed in g3? They looked horrible compared to the g1&2 trolls, which were just beautiful to watch. The new ones looked like potatoes

Zitat von diego_pmc

Does it matter?

Do you really think such 3-words postings spiced with a rolleyes smilie can further a discussion?

Not to mention that it doesn't fit the requirements for this special thread: where is the new question to the Piranhas?

I know you can all do better than this. Don't get complacent or shallow.

Zitat von Zocky

Hm, never seen potatoes that fights back. :P

The same goes for postings like this. FCOL, this thread is a special gift. Use it wisely or you may lose the opportunity altogether! Ask the developers questions - preferably the kind which would interest us all. For anything else, go to other threads.

**Argenguy** · 13.02.2009 08:21

I have a good question to Ralf: Since Risen will have a mediterranean feel, differing from the teutonic feel of the Gothic, I wonder if the usable plants, fruits, drinks and meals will be more mediterranean. I'm not by any means an expert of the mediterranean flora and cuisine, I think you know what I mean. Mediterranean means basically olive and grapes (and therefor wine).
