If you want to enjoy this game: get a CE table and max every stat and unlock every skill, then you will be able to roleplay, this is not an RPG this is a GPG: grinding playing game.


Everything that came after Risen was a downgrade, but somehow this game brings more downgrades.
- Simplified inventory with 1 tab for misc items, it's weapons, armor or other stuff you can buy form merchants and store into chests.
- Bow combat is point and click and most of the times it will shoot above the target unless you are at the same level or higher.
- The WHOLE range combat is bugged as your shots will pass through the enemy when it moves.
- One major quest was bugged due to bad coding and you don't have console commands to get the quest stage or advance it like in skyrim, so good luck finding what is wrong with it, but there is a method of enabling some dev tools to move around.
- Bugged items inside objects or ground (it's annoying and sometimes not even with no clip you can get them).
- The voice acting in the old world recordings is kinda low effort most of the times.
- highlighting items is done via head armor slot, equipping eyewear. So no head armor if you want to see bugged items (or items at all)
- bugged indoor lighting (sometimes it will get pitch dark, light up really bright for a second, go dark and return to normal), also the sun will pop-up through textures like a square (very annoying)

But the game is not that bad, it has some pros too:
+ MC is not a ♥♥♥♥♥
+ 3 factions to choose from, each with their own skill tree
+ lots of loot and places to explore
+ cold value: a stat that tracks your actions and allows you to pick certain dialog options at turning points
~ unlike previous titles, monsters respawn

None to little bug testing was done on this game. You may want to pass this if you come from Risen or get it at +85% discount
