    After some consideration. I changed the title of the video due to a lot of people thinking this video is spoiler free and looking at this video as a way to learn about the game for a first playthrough. This video is an analytical retrospective going over every aspect of the game including end of game spoilers. So to avoid so many people clicking and leaving or clicking and getting the game ruined for them I have changed the title of the video.

      I am glad you like this game (I never played it), and I understand what it feels to find your perfect game and see it fail.
      However, I could not see how this could succeed over any The Elder Scrolls game especially Skyrim.
      I remember I was disapointed by Skyrim at 2011. Back then my opinion in it was 50% of what Skyrim has to offer is worse than what Oblivion gave us, but the remaining half is better.
      Any TES game gets boring fast, but TES games has the best modding community.
      There are modders who modded Morrowind, they carried their mods to Oblivion and later to Skyrim.
      At this point if Bethesda releases a new TES game, the same modders who might be 60+ at this point, will just update their mods and carry it into the new game.
      Also, newer modders often build on the older mods, so a lot of things are compatible and with the mods you can easily invest 3 000+ hours into Skyrim.
      Is that worth it? Imo no, but it is very impressive.
      Skyrim/Oblivion offers so much it is almost impossible to beat.
      I for example only heared about this game like 10 minutes ago in a UA-cam comment.
      At 2012 I would have played this, but the marketing department completely failed as once again, I never heared about this game.

    My dad showed me this game when I was younger. I loved playing with him, trying to level up my character while he was asleep. I remember I had a fight with a dwarf boss that was really hard at the time, I had to hand the controller over to dad lol. This game is amazing, and for me nostalgic. I still play to this day. Miss you dad.

    KoA was one of my favourite games and I still sometimes play it to this day. When I got the game, I already knew the company was struggling. I got the game on console and on Steam and later got Re-Reckoning on Steam. That's how good this game was and is to me.

      I've played half of it on 360 then I played the PS4 Re-Reckoning version and for this video I played through Re-Reckoning again on steam. Imo PC is the best place to play it. Especially with its 2x graphical upscaling.

      I do agree that Skyrim and Amalur are very different games. However most people seem to compare these games to one another. I think these games are similar but not the same but are ok to compare them seeing that's what most people did at the time it came out and still do.

    You should go for hybrid builds. My hubrid build is might and magic, i use swords and chakrams for melee while using magic at range or close up and healing myself. It's fun trust me. Btw if your using skills early on, go for blacksmithing, detect hidden, sagecraft, and lastly metcantile(just about half way through). You can also find books that can give you permanent skills of up to 1 point, that helps out a lot.

    • @IAmVehement

    "Why it's worth playing" implies you want people who never played it to check it out, but having full spoilers seems like it would target experienced players who are already fans. Not that it really matters, but I'd be interested to know what the stats are on the number of viewers who bailed early, when compared to other videos.

      I normally don't open up about my analytics but yes. This video had a large viewer drop off and I wasn't quite sure what for. Your comment leads me to believe that's absolutely why. This video was supposed to be an analytical look at the game for players that have either already played it or just want to hear about everything the game is. I didn't quite take in to consideration people who may have not played it and looked at my video as a jumping on point. I may change the title due to this exact reason.

      Perform a critical analysis of Skyrim, combat is not varied, graphics for a game like Amalur which is something Catunesque, it came out ahead in this story aspect, controversial point, however, as a big fan of Morrowind and Oblivion, Skyrim's story is very weak, technical quality, I don't even need to comment on Skyrim, I would say that Skyrim comes out ahead in character creation, secondary missions, exploration and mounting, but in the rest it left something to be desired, obviously with mods it's another story.

    This game has a pretty sad backstory to the original developer that created it, but the new version of it makes it definitely worth a try.

    In simple words, you didn't really play all the game.
    Bow are one of the most broken weapon on the game if they're used right. Using the charged attack up close with improvement skill, cause a ridiculous high damage for shooting 5 arrows where almost all will be a critical with poison on top of them.
    Faeblades are broken just for how versatile for move around are, Dagger are one of the faster weapon of the game and critical spammers.
    Mages are monsters. Straight up. Hitting lv 23-27 is just entering GOD MODE after learning Meteor and starting doing AoE, massive AoE. On top of that, even if they got damage when casting Meteor, the spell get cast anyway, making the idea of getting damage the faster way for cast over and over Meteor.
    And on the latest DLC, the staff turn on the best weapon for deal with the annoying Chaos Bar.
    Greatsword are the most fun to play if you know how press the buttons at the right time. it can easily end in the only melee AoE normal attack weapon on the game and an actual high speed. It was normal going with that weapon style combined with Rogue on Critical for instantly do heavy damage AoE with a normal attack.
    Also, you get rare weapons BY DROP, not by quest. Only a very few are get by quest, where the big ones are only by drop or chest of any kind.
    The Skills can actually be max all of them. Because they're side quest where you either get a permanent passive that will arise skills or a book that will do the same, at lv 30+ you usually get a almost all Skill on really high level. With the latest DLC, it is even possible get every Skill to the max.
    I was expecting someone that actually play the game and not just one that play one time and stick up to never really explorer it.

      @@IAmVehement Most things are weak in the beginning, but especially ranged in particular. For instance, sceptres in end-game is just brutal - pew-pew-pew and everything is dead. But at he start of the game sceptres are mere silly-sticks. Either way, I recommend getting to level 18-20 any way you please, and then use a Fateweaver to respec at that point. You should have access to proper levels of Blacksmithing at that point as well to fully complement the switch.

      @@IAmVehement If you really want to make a bow build and make the most of it (min-max'ing), I'd recommend the following:
      1) Race: Varani or Dokkalfar with Belen as patron god.
      2) Aim for the Blademaster destiny, but prioritize getting the full bow line of abilities and after that your aim is Battle Frenzy.
      3) Make use of all trainers to ensure you have as high as possible Alchemy, Blacksmithing and Sagecrafting levels (you can make skill increasing potions with Alchemy).
      4) Buy Everlasting and/or Damaging components from Didenhill, Ysa, House of Valor and Camp Moondown whenever you get access to these places.
      5) Once you get Blacksmithing high enough to use gems as components, make utility gems with +7% Crit Chance.
      6) Get to level 40, but don't clear the final main quest. Instead go through Dead Kel to get access to Gravehal Keep and unlimited components via Diplomacy missions. A buffer of Flawless Everlasting and Damaging components is your goal here.
      7) Clear the final part of main quest, continue through Fatesworn and level to 50. After completing Fatesworn, you'll get access to the endgame arena. Clear rounds until you get Despoiler and Fatesworn crafting components. At this point you can go back to Gravehal to get Flawless Mitharan Damaging components and make your final endgame crafted set items with the rewards from the arena.
      8) Grind out all of the Chaos gates to get the highest rank of Chaos Thrall and then craft your endgame monster bow.
      9) Other things to complement; explore the full map of Teeth of Naros to get a Twist of Fate with +1 to all Finesse abilities, gamble for accessories with Warlord modifiers.

    @Soulintent95 2 місяці тому +1

    KOA is one of my favorite games ever made. But, its nowhere near being one of the greatest games ever made unfortunately. It becomes extremely clear almost immediately that its just solo wow, which was the intention of the devs. Once you leave the forest area, the game has become incredibly stale and its offline mmo gameplay becomes boring. Theres one main quest in the desert area where you have to run (no mounts btw) genuinely an hr in every single direction over and over and over again. Sadly this hidden gem of a game is plagued by that. So every time i play it, i get burned out and a yr later when i decide to pick it up again... i cant remember where i left off so i start over and its just rinse and repeat.
    Its a shame, because if they just added mounts like you get in wow, the game would be sooo much more tolerable.
