Discuss Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
So I'm pretty interested to hear your opinions on this little RPG. And I say little because I've played for about an hour now, and it seems fun at first. It gets a little dull too fast, and doesn't seem all that engaging to me. Perhaps I shouldn't have started playing on Normal.
The UI is - OMG cans u believes it!- console-ish, but no messed up, luckily. The skill trees were confusing at first glance untilI saw it actually goes upwards, not downwards lol. Graphics being somewhat mediocre (at least on my poor little rig), the music is engaging but not too imaginative. I've been scouring YouTube for titles from the soundtrack, wondering if it's worth buying - problem is, I never know with games until I actually get the soundtrack itself.
Some voiceovers are just too funny to be serious, but gameplay-wise, it's pretty good. I like the fact that ranged attacks are auto-targeted for a change. Haven't really tried anything that includes magic or rogue skills like lockpicking, as I usually do the first playthough as a traditional warrior (shield+blade) and literally avoid any skills that aren't traditional.
I've only done the initial main quest and went through all the sidequests in the first settlement, so I wouldn't know much about the story either (and wouldn't want to get spoiled anyway *hint hint*) but so far, the main plot around the Well of Souls sounded a bit silly to me.
