Pretty much my only problem (aside from a few bugs) when i played Kingdoms of Amalur:Reckoning is that it kinda felt like the quests (excluding the faction quests and main quest) were from an MMO. then i read about the game and realized it was supposed to be an MMO but it seems like they didn't bother to unMMO the side quests. Other then that the combat was great even though some of the fancy weapon skills and spells were kinda useless and it was better just to click the left mouse button like crazy.The weapons and customization also felt good (i had a weird bug that in the various crafting screens the resolution went up and i couldn't see the edges of the screen.not game breaking but still). Also the house of ballads part was really weird , it was like a bunch of kids were playing pretend and the one kid that always had to play the bad guy got fed up and just started cheating. Anyway fun game as long as you stay away from the uninteresting side quests and blaze through the main quest line and maybe do a faction quest line or two.
