For all the good elements in quest and world design, even here the game manages to screw up. Supporting one side or the other will eventually piss off the other side so badly that their strongholds will attack you on sight. That's fine except that in order to complete the main story, players must acquire certain items and complete certain quests from both sides. Since there's no way to go back after falling into one faction's bad graces, it's entirely possible to be unable to complete the game just by playing the game as designed.

>The player interface for character development (and inventory control and the quest journal and myriad other functions) is simply terrible.
Even worse, the skill tree can't be open when the player is making selections during skill training. These choices are offered in a dialogue box as a simple list with no other information accessible during the decision process. It's the RPG equivalent of developing a character by dropping the Dungeons & Dragons Player Handbook on the ground and selecting the skill on whatever page it opens to.

I can't stand it /vr, how do you play this?

You play 1, 2 and Risen instead.

First half of R1 is gothic-tier.

Is that from one of the Sacred games? I vaguely remember robots for some reason.

And after things calm down you get a nice look at the character models and their ridiculously out of scale heads.

I remember enjoying and finishing G1, skipped straight to 3 and enjoyed that one as well untill I lost some quest item and couldn't advance anymore, game seemed hugeand endless to me.

Might replay it someday, how does G2 stand?
