Risen Use savegame from demo in Risen?

As stated in the title I wondered if anyone knows if the savegames in the demo can be used in the real version of the game. I was curious since I don't want to run around and beef up my character as much as possible if I can't use it when I get the real game.

No, demo saves don't work in the full game.

The demo are was fairly small anyways.

That's pretty much the reason why I stopped playing as soon as I realized I liked the game. To not "redo" the same thing for too long.
