Es tut mir leid, dass ich nicht Deutsch spreche. Dieser Text stammt von Google Translate.

Dieses Handbuch ist in Englisch. Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Informationen in den Rücken, die nützlich sein, um deutschsprachige Leute sollten. Auch ich kenne viele deutsche Volk zu sprechen gut Englisch und können das ganze Handbuch verwenden.

Die nächsten beiden Beiträge sind in englischer Sprache. Ich hoffe, dass es Ihnen nichts ausmacht!

I wrote/compiled a guide to Risen. It's 44 pages long (45 with the Table of Contents and title page) and includes everything about the game that's worth knowing. It's not just a copy/paste word dump either. I put a lot of effort into formatting the guide and arranging the information in a useful and accessible format, instead of just putting it out there. The appendix was made almost totally from scratch by me, keystroke by keystroke.

For the first time anywhere I've seen there's a clear, coherent and evaluated description of how to get yourself into the various factions. There are maps with descriptions of where to look for Ogre Roots and Hero's Crowns. There's an easy to use lockpicking cheatsheet so you don't have to savescum your way through Harbor Town each time you play. I've laid out all the plusses and minuses built in to choosing between axes, swords or staves (or Fireball, Ice Lance or Magic Bullet). There is also all of stuff you'd expect in a guide like this like a complete walkthrough, tables that list weapon stats and trainer locations, and the basics about armor.

The only thread related to this guide that I look at regularly is the one I posted at [Something Awful]. I will check in on the others (which includes this one), but don't expect quick replies from me anywhere other than the SA thread.

If you can translate the guide into another language that would be great! German, Russian and Spanish would be especially nice. Please be a native speaker in the target language if you're going to translate the guide. If you want to translate it send me an email and I can provide you with a .doc file to make things easier. When you're done I will include download links to your translation next to the English version above so that everyone can get it. My contact information is in the Introduction portion of the guide. If you're from World of Risen or Gamepressure I'd of course be honored to have my guide up on your site somewhere.

Please email me if you wish to host this guide on your site. I will generally be happy to allow you to do so unless you're going to somehow charge people to access it (in which case you're scum and won't ask me for permission anyway). Expect me to use your site as a download location in these posts if you put the file up, though I will point people to your download page, not directly to the file.

I wrote a guide to Risen. It's 42 pages long (43 with the Table of Contents and title page) and includes everything about the game that's worth knowing. I even left it in .doc format so you can edit it if you want. It's not just a copy/paste word dump either. I put a lot of effort into formatting the guide and arranging the information in a useful and accessible format, instead of just putting it out there. The appendix was made almost totally from scratch by me, keystroke by keystroke.

Translated / Uebersetzt:

Ich habe einen Guide fuer Risen geschrieben. Er ist 42 Seiten lan (43 mit Inhaltsverzeichnis und Titelseite) und enthaelt alles Wissenswerte ueber das Spiel. Ich habe es in .doc Format gelassen damit ihr es ueberarbeiten koennt. Es ist nicht nur ein copy/paste Arbeit. Ich habe viel Arbeit in das Formatieren und das Arrangieren der Informationen in ein nuetzliches und sinnvolles Format gesteckt, anstatt es einfach hinzuwerfen. (Ugh, das war nicht einfach zu uebersetzen)

Zum ersten mal ist da eine klare Beschreibung wie man den verschiedenen Gilden beitreten kann. Dort sind Karten mit Beschreibungen der Fundstellen von Ogerwurzeln und Heldenkronen. Dort ist ein einfach zu benutzender Schloesserknacken-Cheat so dass du nicht die ganze Zeit speichern musst, wenn du deinen Weg durch die Hafenstadt machst. Ich bin auf die Unterschiede zwischen Axt, Schwert und Stabkampf sowie Feuerball, Eislanze und Magiekugel eingegangen. Das und all die Grundlagen die du in einem Guide erwarten wuerdest. Eine Komplettloesung, Waffentabelle, Lehrerstandorte und alles was du wissen musst um frueh gute Waffen zu bekommen. (This last sentence seems kind of messed up to me )

Den Rest muss ich nicht uebersetzen, jedenfalls stehen dort alle Rezepte etc. drin.

That are really surprising news, i'm already looking forward to read this thing!
Right now it looks amazingly well made to me. Respect! And now I got enough of German.

The last sentence in simpler English so maybe you can fix it:

This, plus all of the basic stuff you'd expect in a guide like this like a complete walkthrough, tables that list weapon stats and trainer locations, and what you need to know to get some better armor early on.

=

The guide also has the normal stuff. It has lists of weapon damage and requirements. It tells you how to get armor early in the game.

[Aun]

Oh, don't understand me wrong, I understood it pretty well, I fixed it in the translation Really impressive what you did. I always thought the german community was far more active...

Did you do it all by yourself?

[risenguide]

I'd say 80% of the work is mine. The walkthrough was originally copied from the gamepressure.com guide (as were some of the tables) but I've reworked it so much (especially the first Chapter, which is half the game anyway) that at this point I'm not sure who gets the credit -- much of the text is still close to what their guide writer originally wrote, though. I also used World of Risen quite a bit for fact checking and finding items.

I wouldn't have been able to do the guide as it is without gamepressure.com and this site, but on the other hand anything I took from those sites I also edited, reworked, reformatted... and just generally made it more user friendly.

There is a bit of information on my process for writing the guide in the Introduction, where I've also credited gamepressure.com and World of Risen as due them. The most useful parts of the guide to me, however, are the beginning parts on what skills are good and why, and the end parts with tables of locations and stats. Most of that work I did on my own apart from the list of Console commands which I dug up out of the ass of the internet somewhere -- but then I don't use the console so that part isn't very useful to me

Slightly new version of the guide up. I've adjusted my opinions of some skills somewhat after cross-testing. Biggest change is my opinion on the magic crystals.

[Thoras]

Thank you for this Guide

Ich hab auch schon öfters google.translate benutzt um deutsche texte ins englische zu versetzen und wenn das dann auch so ausgeschaut hat...meine fresse hab ich mich dann immer blamiert

[Aun]

Also wirklich, wollt ihr euch das Ding nicht ansehen?!?
Ist doch ein tolles Stueck! C'mmon!

[Mallacy]

Ein sehr tolles Stück sogar!

Big thanks for that Guide, it's a good help, especially the maps.

A little request, though: Could you please add one map, where all the
teleportation stones can be found ? It is the only thing I am missing a bit in
your guide.

Oh, okay. Look for that in version 1.3 (plus a few fixed typos). I'm also adding a table on bows and crossbows. Expect the new version is three to five days.

Any other requests?

[risenguide]

New version of the guide up. Last update for a while. As requested, I've added a map with teleport rune locations and tables on bows and crossbows, plus I've done a little cleaning up.
