Risen2: Dark waters

Excellent Voodoo implementation. Ability to move into several main story characters and control them as you please.

Excellent way of experience implementation in the form of Glory like Gold which you can spend whenever you want.

Excellent decrease of damage by improving your ability with constant health instead of unrealistic health increase.

Excellent Underworld inversion.

Excellent monkey taming instead of magical transformation into an insect: more realistic.

When I was talking to Sebastiano's daughter in Sword Coast she gave me the knife to get leopard or other puma skin to make fashionable clothes. Since I killed that leopard before I got the knife, when knife was given, I've
also received leopard skin. That's good, because in Gothic you should have first got knife (and/or talent) and only then could get the skin. If you killed animals and only later learnt the skill, those things are lost. Here, they're not.

Bad thing about Mauregato in Caldera that you first MUST see Mauregato's incriminating papers, and only then go to the Library, otherwise you won't get Garcia's location.

Excellent solution for quick saves on F5 - they are saved as different files. This saves from going to Save menu.

The bad part of Risen2 saves is that they are still very big, about 6MB each. With a lot of saving, it takes a lot of space. Consider Mass Effect where each save takes only several KB.
