The Gothic series are one of my favorites, though the English translations did seem to suffer in the transition, from the original German version. I am glad to see PB & DS taking translations seriously.
Something interesting, when I visited the Risen site at DS, they give PB first credits, which kicks ass. I most often see publishers taking first titles, I remember the old publisher had no problem putting their name before PB, who did all the work.
Couldn't believe he missed it, great thread. I actually sent it to him on Tuesday but his email system crashed and I had to send it again Wednesday morning.
