Risen 3: Titan Lords

I recently purchased Risen 3: Titan Lords, without knowing anything about the Risen/Gothic games prior to playing this. I don't know why, I just never got around to them. This game has received a lot of mixed reviews. While I still remain an avid fan of The Elder Scrolls when it comes to these kinds of rpgs, I do think it's a worthwhile game. A bit too expensive, but it's an open world with several islands you can travel around. There are tons of missions, a lot of people to talk to and the world is really pretty. The combat is slightly clunky feeling, but perhaps it will improve with your character, and I recently played Dragon Age: Origins on PC and those combats are really strange. It's a great game otherwise, but I am more used to it on console. Dragon Age: Inquisition will be a blast. Anyway I guess if you're waiting for that and want games alike to Risen 2 and perhaps people who liked Skyrim would find some elements enjoyable in this game as well.
