Well, progress update
I'm addicted to this game. Everytime I sit to play only half an hour it reached to three hours minimum. This weekend had lunch at 4PM and had diner at 12AM both days.
Lots of quests and I'm not finding enough time to finish all.
But, like I told earlier, I'm amazed by the vast types of combats this game offers.
Witcher, for me, redifined RPG. Say it grafics or sound or combat or story. Whereas Kingdom of Amalur is very similar to Witcher concepts. but it does offer more for everything Witcher offered.
Weapons: Longsword, Greatsword, Hammer, Staff, Chakram (fav. primary weapon), Faeblades, Sceptre(fav secondary weapon), daggers
Weapon mods: If Witcher provided various oils to rub on swords, diamond dust to sharpen or runes to upgrade, Kingdom of Amalur provides more option for customization.
Salvage weapons, make totally new weapons from salvagfed parts and while doing so use the opportunity to use various combinations to make a more powerful weapon. The upgrading does not stop here, few weapons come with weapon sockets and/or utility sockets. You can attache additional upgrade stones in these sockets.
Half of my time goes to decide what to sell and what to salvage and what to craft from the salvaged parts
Armor mods: Exactly similar modification ooption available for armor mods too. Includes: Head (Cowl, Cap, Helmet), Chest( Robes, Chestplate), Leggings, Gloves, Shoes.
Blacksmithing and Sagecraft are related to this.
Accessories: Chains and rings with aditional powers
Consumables: Gain additional powers (health and mana specially) by consuming potions. Alchemy is related to this. You can buy potions or can prepare yourself.
If you thought this was enough...then comes various powers. If you have played "Prototype" then imagine all the good powers and more. The powers seems to be inspired by maximum famous games. Prototype, Age of mythology,Witcher etc.
To sum it up the game can be said as a amalgum of Witcher+Prototype. And I love it! Many more sleepless nights and empty stomachs are in my future.
