from "Gothic" to "Risen"

from "Gothic" to "Risen"

as an old fan of "Gothic I & II" I preordered "Risen". Hopefully this will grant
some exciting hours independant of net-access-issues.

this also involves a kinda personal voting in the historical struggle between
Pyranha Bites and JoWood, that raised with Gothic III. The impact of JoWood
on Gothic III imo influenced the game at the wrong end. JoWood's demands
to publish Gothic III in the way it was published and befor Pyranha Bites meant
the game to be ready, scratched a lot at Gothic III's quality compared to the
former sequels.
"Risen" now announces to have figured a way back to the roots, which I do
appreciate. Let's see, what they publish this time ... ;-) ...
