About this mod

Like many other Piranha Bytes games, Risen 2 is a flawed gem which needs some polishing. I've collected multiple modification and some balancing tweaks for gameplay and graphics performance to make the experience as good as possible.

Permissions and credits
Graphics features
  • Draw distance increased vastly
  • Item LOD distance increased
  • Increased field of view (FOV)
  • Torches gives shadows and more light
  • Vegetation density increased in high level
  • Quality of specular reflections changes for higher FPS
  • Shadows "High" setting tweaked to be less FPS demanding (for lowend PCs)


Gameplay features
  • Quest and gameplay fixes from unoff. patch
  • Fixed English translation for muskets and shotguns
  • Fixed weapon icons
  • Pistols balanced to do less damage, but are faster to shoot
  • Muskets balanced to do less damage and are slower to shoot
  • Shotguns balanced do less damage and have shorter range
  • Bullets are twice as expensive
  • Increased high level armor cost
  • NPCs party members are weaker
  • Monsters power and Xp gain tweaked

Installation

  • If you want performance boost, then lower shadows quality to High from Ultra.
