I recently made a return to Gothic 3 with the latest community patch with alternative balancing turned on. It is a superb experience now and in some aspects on par with Gothic 2 Notr for me. Far from gothic I however.

It's a fun game with the patch, but the exploration isn't as satisfying as in Gothic 1&2 and neither is the combat.
Gothic 2 + NotR remains their Magnum opus imo. I just hope Risen 3 can come close to that.

There's a German unboxing video of the Limited Shadow Lord Edition.
In the pictorial alamanac (?) you can see at 13:35 that the pirate girl from these screenshots is indeed Patty.

Yes, and from the close-ups of the manual one can see that the rumors seem to be true that the last original founder of Piranha Bytes, Michael (Mike) Hoge, has left the building. He is not in the team photo, nor does his name appear in the credits.

Who cares who the protagonist is, what I care about is… is pure magic viable? I don't like swinging a barbaric weapon around, when I can master the elements/souls/energies to do my bidding. I've seen videos but so far most just show typical sword/shield setups, with the occasional spell (consumable at that!)

Maybe they wanted to avoid the usual overpowered (at least mid/late game) pure mage play. Guess we'll find out in a few days

I wish one day they will add shields to their game and I can block attacks with it rather than dodge all the time…

Indeed. It worked out very well.
Gothic 3 also had shields, but that didn't work out as well. However, that was not because of the shields, but because the melee combat system was somewhat poor.

I was reading above and found the World of Risen English forums, and the first preview/reviews are in. (page 16-17 http://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum…d-facts/page17 ) Also, apparently they can't get an English speaking site to take their game to review it or preview it (I don't understand that).

Don't believe me just check our news section as that is all I can find.
Update: I found a few more, but they are from small sites only. Hopefully one of the larger English sites will post a review when its released.
If not maybe one of our editors could write one on release.

I didn't buy Risen 2 cause I couldn't play a pure mage and I won't buy Risen 3 either unless a pure mage is viable!! Why developers shun a large section of the RPG audience by not having casters is totally beyond me. I loved G1-3 and enjoyed R1, but PB have lost me again. How can they claim to be returning to their roots when they don't have a pure caster option!?!
