It's pretty fun. Lots of reviews are comparing it to Skyrim for obvious reasons, but to me it feels more like a MMO test bed game (like Torchlight/Borderlands).

They already are developing an MMO in the same world. Kingdoms of Amalur is the franchise, Reckoning is this title. They announced the MMO before this game even came out

I know, they announced a MMO years ago, and you can tell playing this game that they are testing those waters, and it feels like they released this game to prove they could do it and to grab at some cash.

From what I have seen of the gameplay, it looks more like a Fable game than it does an Elder Scrolls game.

Yeah that is why I won't buy it until it drops in price, I have Fable 3 if I really want to play something like that. Fable has had good ideas in the past but they never flesh them out and it always turns out disappointing to me. Don't want to spend 60 bucks and find this game does the same shit.

Can't say much as I haven't finished the game but it seems that your decisions have a greater affect on the outcome because once you swing one way you have a harder time making it back (if you can at all.)

I described it as Fable meets Skyrim, while playing like a single player MMO in the vid. I'm interested in seeing how they deal with classes in the MMO or allow you to develop over time like this game.
