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?...

I bought this game a when it was released, though I haven't had much time to play it.

From what I have played, it's a decent enough game. The gameplay is good and the world looks great. Don't expect any of the stunning vistas as seen in the ES games though.
The world is quite free roam. All the towns and villages are linked by convenient little ravines. You rarely stray too far from a road.

Though, as I say, I haven't played much, it's still worth buying.
