Ya it's in Webwood southwest of the starting zone. I got there around lvl10 I'd say. You get keys to a house and can upgrade it alot to include a forge and alc lab and stuff so you can also make stuff in there. The town has a shop too so you can sell stuff. I don't worry about money at all atm. Sitting on 80k just by selling everything I come across that isn't an upgrade. Going the Finesse route with daggers, bows, and faeblades btw. Figures, my main in WoW was a rogue lol. | ||

The best thing about the game are the fights ( if you don't fight on noobish level ) they are great , a lot better then skyrim. The fact that you can reset your character and become from a mage with dispeling and alchemy into a warrior with blacksmith for a really small amount of gold is great , you don't have to start the game again to enjoy other classes. Quests are decent , some quests give crap rewards and not that many funny quests , nothing compares to the quests from the witcher 2 :p . And i could go on , but overall it's a great game , i love it , i will probably play this more then i did Skyrim. | ||

Fairly quick spells gives magic users a quick stun and initiation, so you can pull off something more devastating without that much risk. Chakrams and faeblades are too strong and too spammy. They give you too much AoE, which ministuns and provides protection from attacks, so you can basically just spam them without worrying too much about dodging or timing. Of course they look really cool, but I think the combat experience from those two weapons is a lot less interesting than daggers, even though daggers are often less effective. Daggers require much better positioning and timing because your AoE is basically only a straight line (until the finisher) and it's not that powerful. If you just run in the middle of a group, you'll never get to your finisher because enemies will be swinging at your back and you can't actively protect yourself while attacking. You have to dodge and charge into positions where enemies are isolated and you can take them out quickly. With faeblades, you can run in the middle of a group because it gives you a 360 degree attack, so you're largely protected from incoming melee attacks since the enemies will be knocked back before they land it. I still want to try scepters, though. I've only played straight magic on my character so far (was going to be doing finesse and sorcery but didn't work out) but I can say the 3rd (?) tier spells are pretty damn powerful. The only spot they're not too great is vs Trolls/Jotuns/Ettins and other magic-resistant/tanky enemies. Although as a pure sorcerer, I don't have much choice but to use them as my chakram's and staff's damage is barely physical at all. I still can easily die though if I miss-time an attack on yellow/orange named enemies, especially ranged ones. + Show Spoiler + The House of Ballads end-boss, the Maid of Windermere or something, owned me a few times before I got the timings right and managed to combo down her and her minions. After a few more levels I'll be switching over to finesse/might or straight finesse. I've almost maxed all my magic abilities and will want something new, so I'll be able to comment more on faeblades/daggers/bows/swords etc later. Also, if people are finding it too easy, just progress in the game more and it'll get harder again. You can always up the difficulty too, if you aren't already. I stayed in the Odarath area for a very long time, doing every quest and task, and when every enemy I faced was grey-named, it was super easy. Then, I just went to the next area and it was harder again as it introduces tougher enemies/levels current enemies past you. That's what it seems to do for me at least. I'm level 25ish I believe and just going to the Cradle of Summer above Erathell, I think its called. | ||

Also watched some Dj wheat and this game looks just so average and not worth my time. skyrim barely was Which would support him even more, he's saying that even though something is illegal it still happens all the time. Even something as big as murder. He wasn't comparing the two illegal activities, he was just making his point. | ||

At least this holds true for daggers. Especially when parry knocks back in an area of effect. Daggers work in melee-only mobs pretty well. | ||

Also i dunno bout anyone else but do packs of wolves just rape you if even one catches you and dazes you the rest are right behind attacking. To where you get permadazed and die lol. Least this has happened to me a few times on my mage lol. | ||

Maybe they get stronger later, i've just met arden and wolves attack in pretty fast succession but still too slow to stunlock. hard mode. | ||

All Characters have pretty dead eyes and little/no expression; to zoom in for this seems really awkward. I think dungeon siege 2 was similar in that regard, and it turned me off there too. | ||

I love this game so far, only put in 12 hours or so but I see a great many more being poured in. | ||

Just rolled a Might/Sorcery Almain using Longswords/Undecided (been switching up between Hammers, Staves and Chakrams) and I'm actually finding it more fun, Longswords are an awesome weapon to use. Was planning on pure Might, but the Might/Sorcery Destiny bonuses are too good to pass up, plus Sorcery ability trees are awesome. | ||

Surely you can't deny that a questline like the dark brotherhood in an elder scrolls game is better than your run of the mill fetch quest. | ||

Combat is fun, and the graphics aren't bad (I don't mind the WoW-ish look), but it does really play like a single player mmo.

Single player rpgs generally have to have an engaging story where it feels like the player is making a difference in the world (as opposed to mmos where the world has to stay static so the next player can come and do the exact same quest from the same npc). In Reckoning, NPCs aren't very memorable or personable, the quests (for the most part) are rather generic, and the world is extremely static. It would have been fine as an MMO (which is how it initially started) but I find it a bit lacking myself. | ||
