I don't see why I'd buy this game. Generic and ugly character customisation, generic and stupid beginning of story. Average production and combat.
And yet it sold already way better than Kingdoms of Amalur which is an excellent game. Sad.

It interested me at first, but overall I found it a letdown. The bosses weren't as compelling as I'd hoped, and it comes across as being quite dull and boring. It's a shame, because this had potential. I agree with #1, although I didn't find the concept of Kingdoms of Amalur to be as good as I'd expected either. The concept of Dragon's Dogma combined with the execution of Kingdoms of Amalur would make for a great game.
