Kingdoms of AmalurFollow

Granted, 4 hours for $10 is a better deal than most DLC nowadays, I can't say I'm interested in doing the pirate thing. Feels too specific, to tell you the truth. Like if Skyrim released DLC that was essentially an addition to the Dark Brotherhood. Anyone RPing as a "good" guy wouldn't really enjoy it.

Also possible, I just think I remember an interview where they said they were going to let you be a pirate. Assumed this was it.

welp i finished the main quest, 18 hrs on casual. pretty cool. i actually might run through it again on casual as finesse, only because i think i don't think i had a single rogue set piece drop the entire run. when i killed gadflow (spoilers!) he dropped 5 might setpieces.

got out of the tower and cranked it up to hard. going after all the sidequests.

I'm splitting my time between WAY too many games right now. Playing ME and then ME2, so I can have a fresh new save for ME3. Try to get on KoA at least once every 2-3 days. I'm slowly leveling a new warden through Dragon Age: Origins (Ultimate edition for $20 got me all the DLC I was missing, plus Awakening), so I have all of that to go through. Haven't even logged onto TOR in like 2 weeks...

Mass Effect is easily taking the bulk of my free time, since I want to be as far along as possibly by the launch of ME3. Almost certainly won't be ready for that, given that I have 2 midterms and a paper due next week, but my Spring Break starts next Friday, so I'll have lots of time to develop carpal tunnel then.

I do want to advance some in KoA though. I need to log on every so often to keep the story fresh in my mind. I just retrieved that spear of light, and finished the warrior/mage guild stuff in the area. Tons of side quests left though.

So, I keep telling myself I'll reroll and try different specs, but I'm currently having too much fun as a Battlemage still. Difficulty is almost right (maybe slightly easy still), and the playstyle is fun. Maybe I'll convince myself eventually...

The bomblets you can drop across a field of battle are so fun. I pretty much set up every fight by laying down a mine field.

So I'm 52 hours in now and level 27 (or 28? I have a horrible memory and it was late when I leveled and turned it off last night), working my way through the Plains of Erathell. This is officially the longest I've played a game other than World of Warcraft in at least 10 years. I've stuck with my pure sorcery build and Meteor is pretty ridiculous. I try to only use it for large aoe groups because one shotting everything gets boring after awhile. And I have 2 houses now, so ******** up in Canneroc doesn't bother me anymore. Except I'm a completionist, so I want to do that questline on another character eventually.

I have a couple of questions, however. I'm playing on PC (well, Bootcamp running Windows 7) and considering it's a 6 year old Mac pretending to be a PC, the game runs pretty smooth. My only problem is though, sometimes the game doesn't respond to a keypress. It's rather annoying to run into a fight and start trying to spam my heal instead of casting a spell because the game doesn't realise I pushed the button to switch abilities. So basically, I'm just wondering if this is something other people have experienced or is it because my computer is ancient and sh*tty? It's not game breaking by any means, just annoying.

And my second question is potentially a stupid one, but I have no experience with games that use this type of save file. Can I create another character without losing the one I'm playing now? I'm thinking yes, since "save game" from the main menu allows you to create a new save file, but the auto saves confuse me. I'm too wussy to try because I don't want to lose my character. Thanks for anyone who cares to help me out and apologies for being clueless.

I THINK that, if you manually overwrite that first autosave, it'll create new saves for that character. But I'm not at all sure about that--safer to assume they won't be distinct.

I'm in the same boat. And even though I really did enjoy this game, my gaming ADD took over and Im off to other things, like the old Mass Effects, Deus Ex HR, Battlefield 3 and Forza 4.

Some day I will return to KoA, though...

Maybe if they fix the camera, and it is bundled with 3 other DLC's on Steam for less than $5 someday I might give it another spin.

I just got the DLC and it's looks pretty good so far. Seems like a lot of content for a 10 bucks DLC. I'm 4 hours in and I've barely touched the main quest.
