      I guess I was spoiled by Dragon’s Dogma, because Kingdoms of Amalur combat feels clunky and unpolished in comparison.
      Interesting that Dragon’s Dogma and Kingdoms of Amalur came out the same year.

    The game isnt bad, but the initial idea for it to be an MMO really shines through. The remaster does help a bit but like 95% of the choices you make do nothing, maybe you get a different item or a different perk (if its a faction choice) but story wise most everything goes the same. Combat can be fun though. Never tried going full Murder hobo in the game so maybe I'll try that next.

    I really like mages and assassins in this game. Doing casual 12.000 dmg with meteor or 500.000 dmg with backstabs is nice. (looking up speedruns really helps if you wanna be op in games as i learnt that you can buy straight dmg boosting crafting materials in the arena. So thats why aoe meteor can kill anything in the right continent, but even 2h after beginning of the game you can have like 4k attacks and over 100.000 backstabs if you want.). Its from memory but i remember basically one shotting everything (and being unkillable when i played my first char fully fighter. Though mages and rouges are more fun in this game for me.).

    I bought this game years ago on Steam and I'm finally getting around to playing it. I'm about 2 hours in and already loving it.

    This is one of my favorite rpgs to date. I just love the world and how versatile the combat is. Chakrams were my preferred weapon since they were both close-quarters and ranged, and I would also use magic.
