Risen 3: Titan Lords

Man tai labai patinka šita serija. Nuo Gothic pirmojo žaidžiu ir myliu visus Piranha Bytes žaidimus. Pirmoji Risen dalis buvo kaip perdarytas Gothic, Dark Waters turėjo panašumų į antrą Gotiką. Geri žaidimai, nors valdymas labai medinis ir grafikškai nelabai greitai vystosi. Galiu pasakyti, kad šitų žaidimų nerekomenduoju, bet pats juos nuoširdžiai myliu Labai džiugina žinia apie trečią dalį.

• There will be no single landmass, presumably islands.
• This will be the largest map in a PB game.

 

Combat System

 

General Information

• There will be a prologue during which you can experiment with higher abilities. After that, you continue on level 1. 
• At the beginning, you already have an evasion somersault and short range teleportation to escape combat. 
• Unconscious enemies can be plundered.
• There will be party members again who will help you in combat.
• The hero builds up a crew/group of companions like in Risen 2 (but only one at a time can follow the player). There are also companions from the land of the dead.
• No level scaling.

 

Melee

• Heavy armours and swords.
• Blocks work against monsters, but only the weaker kind.
• The combat system involves four actions: blow, heavy blow, dodge roll, parade - there is also a rudimentary combo system (hit the mouse button three times in the right moment to get extra damage).

 

Magic System

• Fireballs and lightning beams. 
• Voodoo magic will most likely also be available.
• Some spells have melee variants.

 

Ranged Combat

• There will be both muskets AND bows.

• There will be QTEs (quick time events)
• Food will still be swapped to “provisions”, similar to Risen 2.

 

Storyline and Lore

 

Main story:

• A young warrior is attacked from the shadows and deprived of his soul. He sets off to reclaim what is lost amidst the darkness that is spreading throughout the world. The banned Mages could be powerful allies on his quest. To get their help, he needs to find the Mage sanctuary on Taranis, also known as the Island of Thunder. Protected by the Guardians, the Mages search the mines of Taranis for crystals loaded with magic energy.
• New hero, the character from previous Risen games will still play a starring role however.

• Already known are the “guardians” which resemble the paladins from older games.

 

Enemies:

• New enemy: The shadows (undead which rise from skull caves).

 

Atrodo baisiai, panašu, kad tas pats variklis, todėl kovos sistema bus tokia pat medinė, bet tai vis tiek yra vienas mano laukiamiausių žaidimų
