There's a new short story at the Risen site. Part 4 is called The Laughing Gyrger:
A bright rectangle thrown by the open door on the floor of the Laughing Gyrger was all that reminded those inside that the sun still beat down mercilessly on the island. But the rectangle darkened suddenly, as a new guest entered the taproom.
"Hey, stranger, join us," rumbled a beefy fellow to the newcomer. "We can always use a fresh face with fresh stories."
"I suppose you know everybody in the city?" replied the stranger.
"I should say so. I’ve been stuck here since the White Robes closed the gates. Say, I’ve never seen you around here before. What are you doing in the city?"
"If only I knew that..."
"Ah, an innocent," joked the big man. "If you’re looking for knowledge, go see Master Belschwur. All you’ll find here is something to drink."
"Master Belschwur?"
"Yeah, the mage! He can tell you all about the Holy Flame and the gods. The gods are gone, but they left the Holy Flame behind as a sign that they’re still protecting the island. But nobody knows how long it will keep burning, since the dark powers that the gods were protecting us against are getting stronger and stronger. The temples and stuff. But what do I know? I’m just a fisherman."
...and a 33Mb file video interview (direct link) from the Official Xbox Magazine talks with Andy Serkis and John Rhys Davies about their work on the game. Some panoramic shots are shown in the background and we get a two-word sample of the actual voices.
More information.

Well, saying that one character is not as evil as he seems while the other might be more like the real villain is spoiler enough for me.

As far as I know, both Mendoza and Esteban are rather morally ambiguous. So he was just fooling around claiming that Davies's character is the real villain, while Davies said that Serkis's character is not as important as his.

May be it is because these people are from the movie business. And a really good movie doesn't get less interesting if you know such things in advance.
