Some time later, the witch doctor Bones comes ashore on the island and performs a ritual on the Hero's corpse, which awakens him from death. The Shadow Lord proceeds to consume the Hero's soul, apparently killing him, and leaving Patty and his crew to bury him. When they enter to investigate, they find a magic portal made of crystal, which spawns a demonic Shadow Lord which surprises them and knocks them to the ground. The Hero and Patty go ashore on the Crab Coast to seek a rumored treasure in an ancient native temple, but are distracted by a Skull Cave rising from the ruins and a number of shadowy creatures emerging from it. The Hero is awoken from a fitful dream in which he fights the ghost of the pirate captain Crow, who was killed in Risen 2: Dark Waters. The new player character was never seen nor mentioned prior to the third game, but is revealed to be the brother of recurring NPC Patty Steelbeard, and son of the deceased pirate captain Gregorius Emanuel Steelbeard, as well as one of the few pirate captains left in the world. The player is placed in the role of a new "Nameless Hero," replacing the protagonist from the two previous games. ( April 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Ībandoned by all the gods and suffering from the Titan Wars, a new threat rises from the soil. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. Why would Piranha Bytes design the sole most important female character of this game this way if she wasn't originally supposed to be the player's girlfriend? This may sound like a macho cliche, but that's really how visual design in games often works, especially back in the day and especially with a developer like Piranha Bytes who were never exactly progressive in their games.This section's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Way better looking than in Risen 2 and she wasn't exactly ugly in that game. I can't remember everything but some dialogue lines, quests and other details supposedly hint at the fact that we originally had our beloved hero at first. I recently watched an in-depth review about Risen 3 and the guy stated the theory that we originally were supposed to get the nameless hero from Risen and Risen 2, but for some reason they changed it during development. Not yet finished with the game but 52 hours in. it looks to me it was changed at some point and some dialogs rewritten. I guessing he went back to the Inquisition but there should be an explanation.Īlso the plot, so far, seems to be originally created for the Nameless One, he dies, losses his spirit, so it "resets" because he forgets stuff, Patty crying over his dead, what has zero impact when you know that character for 5 minutes. I know he is in the game as cameo but he dosent tell anything. Ive reading into the lore to see if there is any explanation as to what happened, there seems to be none, whats really bad. Then i look at Patty and i have a really hard time beliving thats Patty, and im not only talking about physical appearance here (Alvarez looks like Alvarez, Bones looks like Bones, but Patty?), she seems to have no issue in plunder temples for gold for example when in Risen 2 not only she does not cares for gold, she didnt liked that the Nameless One to go into those temples "for fun". So i got all 3 Risens on a steam package and i really enjoyed Risen 1 and 2, as i already played Gothic in the past i knew what to expect in certain aspects.īut ive played Risen 3 for an hour and so far i hate all of it, at first i didnt know who that guy was and i could not understand why they changed him.
