Risen 2 Dark Waters Opinions?

Risen is probably one of my favourite RPGs with amazing combat system, story and mainly replayability (overall up to 100 hours of gameplay). Risen 2 is also amazing, but the combat isn't as good and not everyone likes the pirate setting. It doesn't have much of a replayability since it's pretty much a linear game with a couple choices here and there (30 hours).
And if you enjoy that, I'd recommend Gothic series (Gothic 2 and 3). It may be a little buggy, but it's from the same developer.

chessy dialogues, horrible voice acting, terrible animations, boring combat. also, the ending is pretty lame.

but
if you like exploring, collecting items and discovering secrets, then you will like the game. :3

Risen 1: Awesome. Must play. Seriously. Play it NOW.
Risen 2: Technically so annoying, that it becomes unplayable. Everything from the controls to the inventory to the camera control is so broken that you want to quit the game after 5 minutes.
