This one feels a lot more like a PB game to me than Risen 2 & 3 ever did, so I'm fairly happy with it in the first few hours so far. I keep forgetting that I have a jetpack though.

I notice on the official forums they're already starting to come out with .ini file tweaks in the time-tested tradition of Piranha Bytes' games.

I kinda like that they made the 3 factions unlikeable in their own way. Better than the "do you want to go melee, ranged, or magic" factions in Risen 1 and 2 (haven't played the gothics far enough to know what their factions were like)

Gothic 1 was "Do you want to use magic, weapons, or smoke WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED."

Random thoughts:

Plot-wise, the sequel hook seems kind of interesting. Possibly more interesting than the setup of this game.

Also I have no idea what happened in the Domed City at the end because as I approached the "final door", I got a quest to go see something in the Domed City. And then when I entered the room, the quest auto-failed immediately. Going over there in the post-credits showed that something really bad had happened but not why or how. Weird quest triggers.

Finally, if you didn't find it, every converter has a secret loot stash with elex potions and other good stuff if you're willing to use your jetpack a little at the very top.
