I haven't finished this game yet, but it's right up my alley. Like others have said, Risen and Drakensang are great games, as well. Risen was actually my favorite rpg of 2009 (USA).

I just finished this game today. It's definitely a great game. All the people at Larian have done a great job. I really enjoy the European rpgs...The Witcher and the games I mentioned above. This game is right up there. I think Ego Draconis is one of the more innovative rpgs made in recent years. I actually had more fun playing this game than Dragon Age. I love the fact that you can turn into a dragon. That was very cool. I also appreciated the humor added to the dialogue in the game.

Another thing: I've read a lot of comments from people saying how they didn't like the ending. I actually loved the ending. It obviously begs for a sequel, or at least some expansion packs. More importantly, however, I appreciated the fact that it didn't end with rainbows, lollipops and unicorns. It was a great, dark twist.

Thanks for making an awesome game. I look forward to more.

There are many small fixes that could be made, such as creature pathfinding, running animation, combat difficulty... but they are mostly quality of life.

ED is not perfect, but it is very, very good.

Like Raven .. I don't like Risen too ... don't know exactly why, but it can't keep my attention ... while Ego Draconis is a little too addictive :hihi:

Risen was wretched. I didn't think you could make controls any worse than Gothic, but that game managed to take control badness to the whole new level.

That, and getting spontaneously owned by giant moths kind of turned me off to the whole thing.

And the looks. Male Dragon Knight is positively handsome compared to Risen's protagonist.

Risen was OK as a mage... but I hated the melee combat. Also after two great chapters, the game quickly deteriorated.

Two Worlds, for all its faults, had much better melee combat.

Lol, Risen had the best combat system since Gothic 2.
And fortunetly was made for the PC not consoles.

That must be, because on Xbox ... o no, bad combat system ... frown

Larian have doing a great job to make Ego Draconis good on both systems: PC and Xbox!

Why the f**k came Risen out on Xbox when it is made only for PC???? Only for commerce?? suspicion down

Err, i meant that Risen was primarily a PC port game, which was then ported to XBox and failed miserably. But you could say they tried to rip off a bit of cash that way, yea.

Risen was terrible
Truth is truth

For game that only offer exploration map was pathetic
Magic was pathetic

and only one city
I don"t count marsh

Monastery was too "same"
nothin new

Dull quests


Gothic 3 was much better game
Big map
Lots of cities
Desert,snow area

Best combat
tons of magic

Everything

Nothing big that change game
Usually every RPG have it even Gothic 3

Even if consequences are important they belong to story which is crap

I love Risen. A truly great RPG. Not as great as Divinity II, however. Although, I did enjoy the combat more.


My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.

This. However risen fails in quest, ending, magic combat, humor and voice area. And excels in melee combat, especially staff,graphics,character professions and atmosphere. Both games are German made tho.

Ego Draconis is a wonderful game.
