Looks good, but i don’t like PC and ea. Instead of PC port i prefer that the developers spend more time and money on game

Is this a game that is set in Forgotten Realms setting or just another RPG?

@4 It’s written by R.A. Salvatore who writes a lot of D&D books and the art is by Todd McFarlane who drew the Spawn comics, but it’s a completely new setting and world I believe. It’s designed by Ken Rolston who was lead designer on Morrowind. From the website Faq:
“Reckoning is an epic, open world role-playing game that gives fans their first experience with Kingdoms of Amalur, a new universe imagined by R.A. Salvatore, brought to life by Todd McFarlane, and designed by Ken Rolston and his team at Big Huge Games.”

That does look rather Fable-esque. Not that that’s a bad thing, I’m liking it a lot! Hopeful to see more of this at E3.

The Morrowind dude is behind this project with Todd McFarlane as artist. That’s more than enough for me but the video is really neat. It could be the FIRST true action-RPG where neither side is pushed to the side. Rise of Argonauts and many others have tried to do the same but this game could be the one to finally succeed.

With McFarlane on the project, i actually expected it to be really gritty and dark, not to say extremely violent. This looks like Fable done better.

@5, YES! FANTASTIC.
I just forgot who was an author for this game. R.A. Salvatore is awesome for this. I just wanted to confirm this. Thank you.
