Kingdoms of Amalur..., Oblivion/Skyrimesque RPG Options

Anyone else seen this?...

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

By the looks of it, it's one lawsuit away from actually being Oblivion/Fallout/Skyrim.

It's part designed by Ken Ralston, who was apparently lead designer for Morrowind and Oblivion...

I shall be getting it - hopefully - today...So it may put a sizeable dent in my time... ...The reviews don't paint any picture that would threaten the Elder Scrolls stuff, but it looks decent enough for a first game in a series...Apparently...

Anyone else looking into it?...

Well, the animations are certainly a lot better than in the ES games! It is hard to really tell much about the game from the trailer they have on their front page though. It is a showcase of the graphics and fighting, but really does not give you any idea of what the real gameplay itself if like. In fact it looks more like an FPS or fighting game than an RPG. Although poking around the website found things like classes, and that you can use different gear.

The Brigand Hall Cavern demo actually tells you a lot more about the game then the opening trailer. Here I can see RPG elements. The way you can alter your class as you play sounds excellent. In fact, it looks like more of an RPG then the Mass Effect games are. The art design of the world looks excellent. It does look interesting, and worth giving a try. I'll keep an eye out for it. If I see it in a store, I'll probably buy it.
