"Pirates are drunk most of the time" Lool!
Oh I don't want to get too excited about that game, it'll ruin the other ones.

God no. Not that "the magic disappeared from the world" again...

What? Join the natives for magic? Beurk doesn't sound cool... Join the inquisition? NEVER! Well maybe for my second or third playthrough...

Hmm I still don't know how the guild system will work.
In Gothic you could all the quest that did improve reputation for all faction except for final one as that make you belong to a guild.

In Risen you do 4 out of 7 quests that collide between factions to join one of them or you go to the monastery. Or mage path but that is a minor spoiler.

In Risen 2? Will it be more organic aka having more then only trigger of joining to the guild, but say getting access to some voodoo or to something that inquisition offers (equipment or training for example) before yet deciding your path?

I think to reach your goals in the first third of the game you'll have to "work" with one or more of the guilds. not sure you'll have to join. But when you'll join one, you'll definitely be enemy with one of the others (pirates and primitives vs inquisition). There'll definitely be alot of quests you only get with one faction, or the same quest from another point of view, much more than in the other games (it has to be this way + they talk about "replayabilty").

ps: their job seems quite cool, not the way to get rich or a "big boss", but enjoyable. Hmm if you don't count the horrific neck tension and back pain...
