I felt that for new comes it's easier to just pick a one good mod and so I made this compilation of small mods. This includes also some my own fixes and tweaks for Risen 2: Dark Waters.

Features
- Draw distance increased vastly
- Item LOD distance increased
- Increased field of view (FOV)
- Torches gives shadows and more light
- Parallax Occlusion Mapping disabled for higher FPS
- Quality of specular reflections changes for higher FPS
- Shadows "High" setting tweaked to be less FPS demanding
- High level vegetation density doubled
- Many bug fixes for quests
- Weapons customized:
- Pistols do less damage, but are faster to shoot
- Muskets do less damage and are slower to shoot
- Shotguns do less damage and have shorter range
- Bullets are twice as expensive
- Increased high level armor cost
- NPCs party members are weaker
- Monsters tweaked
- Different glory points reward from monsters
- Fixed translation for muskets and shotguns
- Fixed weapon icons


MODS included (with some tweaks):
- Risen 2 Unofficial patch v0.5
- AntiWarp Mod (High)
- Lookup Specular Mod
- No POM Mod
- LOD Distance Mod
- Dynamic Torch Light Mod
- Rebalancing Mod

Extract to the Risen 2 folder (e.g. c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Risen 2) and play. If you want performance boost, then lower shadows quality from Ultra to High.

I'd love to try it but unfortunately I'm busy writing exams at the moment. I'll try it first thing March, the 7th. Dark Waters is my favourite part of the Risen series and I'm glad to see that someone is still working on it!

the download is down...

[kAzGuRu]

Is this for the English Version only?
Or did you not change any Names?

Will try it soon, when it's up again !

[Ergopad]

Works with all language variants.

New version updated to the #1 post.

[Plasquar]

For some reason (and I really don't know why) no one leaves a "thanks" here before he leaves.
Now, I don't have to install ModStarter and download these mods, this compilation ist just what
I was looking for.

This mod is AWESOME, thanks!
I didn't get the chance to test it yet, but if everything works like described, this is just awesome!

Thanks. Do you look at my texturemod for Risen 2 ? You can use it for your Enhanced Edition. I´ll give you the go. Thanks. I will upload your modifications later,

Big Thanks to frosty for the respect to modders work. Thank you so much.

[Plasquar]

Uhm... there exists a texture mod for Risen 2?
I only know your mod for Risen 3?

Big Thanks to frosty for the respect to modders work. Thank you so much.

I'm currently playing the Division and met someone here, who thinks exactly the same as I do.
The Risen-series is soooo underrated, hated for all the wrong reasons. It's so sad.

And still... even if almost no one is responding in the threads here, ppl keep modding the games to perfection.
If I could meet you in real life, I would hug you. Simple as that.
Keep doing what you are doing. Please.


I can't even imagine how much it dragged you down that you Amnesia mod wasn't approved.
Since I do not know much about modding, I can only imagine how much work you guys have to put into your mods.
And you're doing this completely because you want to do it. No one is forcing or paying you.
And then you release it to the community.

And the community doesn't give a ****. I see like 10k clicks on the threads and only you know how often it gets downloaded.
No one is leaving a thanks (or at least, not that much people).

Sorry, I could go one for like another three hours. Its just... sad.

You are a good person. If you want I can upload the mod for you. I can send you the mod as a PN. Risen 3 is totally underrated. If someone talks how worst the game is all the people are following him. To bad that people can´t understand how difficult it is to make a so good game with a small team. When the press say this is a game of 90% like the major ARPGs all say this is the best game. For me the game has a high fun factor. No game of this time has a so big factor of fun. When I´m looking back to the first to gothic games I must say: Risen 3 is the only game in this years that have the feeling of the old classics. Most of the new Games have no soul.

But it´s all the same. If you look at the division the game is a lot better as the press say. PCars is more worst as the magazines says. While the administrators of this site don´t give a f...k to the modders of this forum. I want mod again a so big midification for this forum. I´m releasing my mods on more mod friendly forums. But the community on this forum is one of the best communities. The modders are good people. It is a rearly friendly forum with very talented modders. Baltram, Nate Bonett, Kuchenschlachter, Felsenschmied, that are all good people they work with her heart. We are all respect each other. It´s a lot of fun to work wth so talented guys. When Elex comes I will go to Nexus.

Sorry for my english.

I agree that there are some extraordinary people around here, but in my experience the admins/ mods/ whoever have been rather nice as well. We asked them to host DTC and write a news about it and they did (iirc). I asked them to make the tutorial-thread sticky, they did.

Thing is, the Risen-series is less popular and thus less modded. When it comes down to it, I believe it's really that simple.

Thanks for your answer. Yes the risen series is in my opinion totally underrated. I like all three titles of risen, but 3 is the best title for me.

[MN32410]

The download doesn´t work for me. Do you answer the modders that you can use her mods. It is not allowed to change a modification of other modders without the modder gives you the go. Sorry for my bad english. Is that the reason while the download isn´t anymore? All what you discribe are mods of other modders that work hard on it. It´s not easy to create a mod like the torch mod or other mods. Talk with the modders and when they say: You can do all what you want with my mod. You can upload a compilation.

[MN32410]

Ok, heree are the original authors of the mods. The mod starter tool 2.0 works for me. Deactivating Parrallax Occlusion and the Specular Lookup Changes are not Enhanced features. This features reducing the quality of the graphic. This is for low systems only.

This mod is completely pirated. What do you think if someone steals your whole work. Delete the Thread. As soon as possible now. Nothing is from you. You change a few lines in other modders work and say this is a new enhanced mod for risen 2. What a shame. If you are a Kid or a Teen, I´ll give you a tip copying other modders work without to talk with the modder is not allowed. If you copy games or videos you can come in jail or would be arrested. Please do this not again.

[Ergopad]

I never took any credit of it, but there are many small tweaks and a big weapons overhaul that are only in this package in this way including graphics upgrade for visibility plus locatization fixes and changes to existing mods that are not out there.

Now, I think if somebody is acting like a kid or teen, it's not me who gives threats with putting to jail, which I really find hilarious in this context. Many people so far have been pleased to get a good compilation of mods. In this I HAVE included the mods included in the package, if you read the whole #1 post, so I really don't understand was the beef with you fact that you couldn't get it working. You could have send me a Private message if that was what made you act you like do you.

Behave like a grown up, will ya.

And what comes to Graphics tweaks that disable Parrallax Occlusion and the Specular Lookup do enhance the game in performance wise vastly and give basically non-existant change decrease to the level of Graphics - especially if you count in the upgrades for the Graphics primaly with ini-modification.

PS. So far non of the modders have been angry to using their mods (and including the mods names thereof), but just you and as I understood you didn't even tried out.

Change the features List and give the modders credits. Upload your own stuff and make a link to the mod tool. The tool is working and I use it. Parrallax Occlusion makes flat textures more bumpy. This is a good feature. The difference is big for me, because the game uses a low polygonrate. Malkav is not modding anymore for risen and baltram has much work to do. But when I´m using his mods I have talked to him. He is a good friendly person. We have worked together on risen 3.

Please talk with the modders and give the modders some credits for his amazing work. Your Link iis down. How I can try out your mod if the F...cking link is down. That are my last words.

[MN32410]

I have alert the admins now.

[Tim Andersson]

I have checked the whole thread now. It is definitely necessary to ask the authors for their permission. It doesn't relevant if they care about it or not if you have no permission you can't do it. If you have asked every author and you've got their answers I am going to allow this thread. Otherwise it is still not possibile.

If you have any questions write me a dm.
