Current Events > DrizztLink stumbles through Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. Ongoing spoilers.

(+) Yeah! (+)

That was a bitch to get working.

Swimming in gold after that and the cave of Jottun.
---

Gah. Curses are expensive.
---

Sinking mad points in detect hidden.

Only seen one secret door so far, but hidden caches everywhere.
---

I would love for a sequel. I don't know how it would be made, but I want it made.

Detect hidden useless the treasure is rarely worth it. Better off put points in crafting
---

Bah. I like exploring, and my gear is good enough right now.
---

Fuck yeah.

Had to reload to try a persuade check again, figured I'd kill the 2 boggarts in my way again.

One dropped some purple shoes. 10% Mana regen, 15 more armor, 10 more Mana, 5% experience bonus.

Gotta beat up a bunch of Jottun for kidnapping my Traveller buddy.

There are armor sets in the game (orange quality I think), and while thats nice, good luck ever getting more than 1 or 2 pieces of set, since just like those purple shoes,most of it's a random drop chance or randomly in a chest. There are the DLC sets, but if you open the DLC chest for em early, they suck, since they don't level up with you or anything like that.
---

I just sold off my set pieces.

Was never gonna use one realistically. I could either be a hoarder or get 22 thousand gold.

Found a badass purple longsword, though.
---

I FUCKING HATE dispelling.
---

I honestly can't think of a game mechanic I hate more off-hand.
---

Be glad they're not sliding tile puzzles.
---

I'd prefer a damn Towers of Hanoi to this.
---

It really is a shame this studio went under, though.

My inability to rhythmically tap A aside, this game is great.
---

Going to the Ettinmere.
---

Or stopping in Webwood.
---

Finally got a Stash and I can't put ingredients in it.

Fucking why

Ingredients don't take up space I think. No reason to stash them.
---

I'm not sure on that. Says I have like 30 things in my inventory, and my weapons, armor, accessories are empty. Don't think I have that many potions.
---

I can't remember if ingredients take up inventory space, but considering how many different types there are, that would be pretty poor game design. >_>

IIRC you can buy items that increase your inventory limit though.
---

In the Fate dungeon place.
---

Are you playing on Hard?
---

No.
---

About to take on The Widow.

She wants me to kill the town.
---

Pulled a fate mode kill on her.

Fairly sure I crushed her head in my hands.
---

I think that spider forest town is the first place you can get free lodging/stashing at. I forget if destroying the town ruins that opportunity.
---

I played Kingdom for some time, but couldn't get over the fact that it was quite literally an MMO wrapped in a single player model. Game ended up being too boring for me. Fundamentally it's good, but there's not enough there to keep my interest.
---

I elected to not wreck the town.

And yes, turns out ingredients don't take up space.

I unlocked the destiny with a Dodge teleport, but the one that lessens requirements and gives me a point in every skill is so nice.

Also my chakrum are fucking ridiculous now.
---

The biggest gripe I have is the lack of closure. I have plenty questions and I'm sure a sequel would have been able to do that. Shame.
---

Amazing game. Go warrior/melee unless you enjoy taking forever to kill stuff. :)
---

I want to help (talking Pillars of Eternity) Edr learn more about his brother but not sure I can.

I failed my bro.

the sequel was intended to be an MMO but the company went belly up after Reckoning.

So there is a good chance you'd have either never gotten the answers or the answers would just make you have more questions.
---

The villain sounds like every old guy in Skyrim.

C'mon Jim, I know you have more range.
---

Beat up the prismere trolls, going to Ysa.
---

Oh yeah I look trustworthy.

Don't mind the glow, just fire erupting from my back and poison seeping out my hands.

I will cause no trouble, yes sir.
---

Alyn Shir was adorable, though.

I thought the first was what was intended to be an MMO?
---

The dark elf chick who knew me before I died?

Because that's my character in the pic.

No. This game was in development at the same time as the MMO. Unfortunately they didn't make much progress on the MMO and we're counting on this game to be a Skyrim-tier success to find the rest of the MMO and it never happened.

Yes. You can tell because she's wearing things that are not belts.

I was just speaking in general. Alyn didn't wear pauldrons and stuff.

I'm torn. Bad because lack of closure. Good because I can't stand MMOs. Hopefully someone picks this up in the future.

Oh, misunderstood.

I don't think EA actually owns the copyright so it might actually happen. Maybe if we're super lucky Microsoft will buy it and give it to Rare.
