WTF THEY STOLE THE NAMES OF THE RACES AND MONSTERS FROM MYTHOLOGY
OH YOU MEAN LIKE
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
OH YEAH
DARK ELVES AND SHIT COME FROM MYTHOLOGY
HMM
OH AND DON'T FORGET TO RIP OFF TOLKIEN
TES HAS ORCS IN IT
ORCS
THE TYPICAL DOUCHEY ELVES
YEAH A LOT MORE ORIGINAL
Newsflash: Yeah, the lore is good... IF you read the books in the game, which I don't, because they bore the shit out of me.
The books in-game are sloppily written most of the time.
ALSO
NEWSFLASH
GOOD LUCK FINDING A FANTASY RPG THAT DOESN'T RIP OFF TOLKIEN OR MYTHOLOGY
War is God.I mean
your dude or dudette in Amalur essentially rewrites history by merely EXISTING. Your very presence unravels the deterministic world of Amalur.
Everything had a neat role in fate's plan... but then you came back from the dead.
It could have been done better, I think a lot of it is telling rather than showing.
But the implications are more complex than I originally thought. You CREATE free will. Things that people could not do, you can. You prevent some guy's death when he foresaw it happening since a loooong time ago... it scares him. Everything was neat and tidy. He knew what would happen, but then that changed. Now he has no clue what will happen to the world.
It could be for good, or it could be for ill. Hard to say. That being said, I think that's more complex than this game's overall plot is, but I really like those implications, even if they're not really original.
War is God.Amalur's story still isn't... fantastic. It's enjoyable and I'd like to see what happens next.
For some reason, I tolerate the game's constant fetch quests because loot.
I wish the game was a bit more difficult though. You start out really really strong, and I think that's what made the game seem boring to me at first.
Bleh. Morrowind does it in the opposite way, your dude is so pathetically weak that RATS can kill you. Holy shit, that was a wake up call. I loved it.
Too bad the combat is GOD. AWFUL.
Dragons are cool. I love dragons, but they're HUUUUGELY overdone. They're everywhere. I'm just glad they're not in Amalur. It's always the saaaamme dragons over and over.
I'd like to see bird or mammalian dragons or something for once. Something different.
War is God.
