The people who make Risen 2: Dark Waters have something really nice for you: a patch. A patch to fix a lot of things that have probably been irritating someone someplace in the world.  Additionally, if you watch below, a Making Of video on essentially how they did everything when it comes to the storyline, etc. Pretty interesting if you want to know how all of that stuff gets made, and the people who have to do it.  Video first:
