OK:
Ogre is very strong one.
I am 11 level.
My strength is 45, Hit points 216.
Ogre hit points are about 2000 !!
The question is: To be or not to be?!

How to beat ogre?
The direct duel is out of question.
2 ogre hits and brave is dead.
The Ogre dead gives me 300 XP.

I thought, I thought and I thought.
Tried, tried, tried.
Hours after hours, days after days..
And suddenly bright idea flashes !
......
Hurray!!
Listen carefully and make notes.
1. Never-mind what is yr level.
2. You have to have bow or crossbow with minimum 150 arrows or bolts,
1 arrow / bolt costs 1 gold only. Dough or Oscar can sell these ones.
Repeat 150 arrows or bolts.
I prefer crossbow.
Well, now carefully come close to Ogre and tease it with one arrow in its body.
It started to chase you. OK.
Remember that in Ogre passage is located one deviation to chasm.
You will easy recognize the deviation with small green tree.
Escaping from angry ogre you must reach the tree and KEEP right side and jump.
Again- keep running near to right side before jump.
Relax! You can not sacrifice yourself because there is small ledge and you will be save.
Turn around and start killing ogre with bow. Peace of cake.

That sounds a lot like Gothic 3 engine loopholes, then again from the screenshot you posted last, Risen 1 sword on your character totally looks the same as the default sword in Gothic III, so I guess it makes sense.

I'm on Knights of the Old Republic II right now (following completion of KotOR I), for the first time playing it further than the first 1-2 planets. Seems I misjudged the game many years ago when I first gave it a go, it's a very good one, even if with so much cut content (though TSLRCM restored quite a bit of it) and still up to date unfinished state.
After finishing that one I think I'm going to give the Risen games a go as well.

Nice decision, dear Scatty!!

Believe me, You will be not disappointed.

Risen is user friendly, calm and pretty nice game, all in spirit of Gothic.

You can count on my help.

I will start Knights of the Old Republic after Risen.

Just one advise for new gamers: (Not spoiling).

- Mates, during yr adventures you will meet 3-4 Skeletons in old castles. Nice. Their leader is so named Undead Lord. Not true. It is vulnerable too.
With about 200 Hit Points, Strength 25-30, good weapon Skullspliter you may bravely attack it. 5-7 good hits and voilaaaa - its dead.

- Make difference between black wolf and wolf. First is much more dangerous.

Just finished the game yesterday with a level 36 Dark Side Sentinel/Assassin, but I've been thorough with every quest and location in the game, and TSLRCM patch-mod does add quite a bit of additional content too.
Still can't get enough of it yet, time for a second Light Side playthrough


Also I've read that if you play KotOR II TSL through 2 times (1 on Dark Side, 1 on Light Side), and start another new game a third time, there's some different easter-egg dialogue from many in-game characters.

Whops. I am forgetting to mention certain details. Maybe it is the rush or the fact that I am getting older...

Well, it looks like you are really becoming polyglot, my friend... You will end up having many tongues for that wonderful skill...

Just kidding...

Language / Tongue Skills

I am also fluently understanding Portuguese (and partly the Spanish and Italian languages merely by certain idiomatic similarities; ciao and tchau have the same pronunciation!) besides reasonably understanding the English for being the universal Language.

I find it good and useful to mention alternative and indie games to diversify than just discussing more popular games. So, you and twillight continue on this course!

Amigo mio,
no, no i am not polyglot, i try to be kind and polite only.

You will agree with me that instead of banal HI or HELLO is much better for well respected Scatty the German to hear Guten Tag liebe Scatty, for SS the Russian - Здравствуй, дружок , Capo the Italian - Benvenuto, amichi etc.

There are plenty of real killings all the day in this world, let here follow the hippy slogan Make love, not war..
Pls, these are my personal ideas and not a base for any battle dispute or conversations, y"know...

...
Would be you so kind to tell me where you find so nice emoticons, pls?
When i press [More] in the right, nothing happens..
