ELEX - The Beserkers

I have Risen 1 installed currently and I can confirm that it has easy/medium/hard. It must have had these at release, too, because I just googled a little and Mike Hoge confirmed in a community interview that Risen would have three difficulty settings at release. That interview was posted in May 2009 and Risen came out in October.
You probably never noticed the easy setting in Risen 1 either because we would never touch that filthy casual setting .

I've been going back and forth on this game. But, that video looked really cool. I'm digging the environment. I'm really curious about how it plays.
