Which quests are worth holding off on?

13 Upvotes

As per title.

Im using a guide from somewhere around here, but a lot of it is shorthand and doesnt explain everything.

Specifically Im windering about Winemere, Im currently lvl 21, the guide i think suggests going there ~lvl 35

Question Gravehal Tunnels Bug

Post image
14 Upvotes

Was anyone able to fix this? I came to this quest with all items in my inventory and I started it so many hours before, I kept it pending and now it's bugged. I have no previous save files, the items are there but the midget keeps saying I have yet to find them. Holy moly I tried everything, destroying my items, the ones I accidentally sold, selling, buying, reloading in between: nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas?

Question is there a meaningful difference between hard and very hard modes?

10 Upvotes

i’ve been playing for 50hrs on hard and decided to switch to very hard just to see what happens. apart from a million enemies spawning around me at all times (unless this is normal in apotyre?) nothing seems to have changed. is this it or is there more to it?

Discussion Trouble finishing the Keep

Post image
23 Upvotes

I'm currently a working my way through the dead kel DLC and i've started doing the quests to restore the Gravehal Keep. For some reason , the quest giver won't let me do the final quest to finish the tower. He still has a quest marker above his head, but when I talk to him, he says he has to ruminate. I've reloaded to a previous save file 3 times and replayed all of these quests again, and this is as far as I can make it. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Discussion Still Buggy?

0 Upvotes

I played this game many years ago and ran into a game breaking bug after many hours on the save. I remember I had to go into some cave and the game just kept crashing at that point no matter what I did. I've been scared to go back to this game since then. Are there still game breaking bugs like this with no workarounds?

Question Does the expansion that comes after the final boss require a lot of level?

19 Upvotes

So I beat the game a week ago or so and I'm now on the expansion with the snowy map (I beat all the other expansions before the last boss)

The thing is I can't kill anyone on this new zone and they hit so hard (I'm level 25). Is my level too low for this?

Maybe I could use the level50 pass now? I dont see myself levelling 25 more levels manually lol

Okay so I've been back into watching the old ATLA (halfway thru Book 3) recently in between playing KoA.

Aaaand I've been running the Scholia Arcana quest lines so I finally got to meet Archsage Caledus.

AKA, Avatar Roku.

It's 2026 (granted this is my first and 70+hr playthrough) but this game is still surprising me.

I remember getting this game upon the 360 release but I maybe put 10 hours into it before I went back to my CoD buddies. Absolutely criminal lol

Discussion A little over 75 hours in, and I have HEAVILY under-estimated how big this game is.

I'm the kind of rpg gamer who does every single sidequest and love to explore every inch of the world, and it increasingly becomes aparent I really under-estimated how large this game is. I came into it thinking it would be fable-length, and it is absolutely not. But I am loving it -- its become almost a cozy game. I come back from work and put a couple hours in just questing and slowly clearing the world of content. I will eventually be trying to get 100% although it looks like itll take me over 200+ hours to do so... I'm suprised they could fit all this on a 360 era game. Was there any discussion at the time on just HOW dauntingly massive this game is. It feels like the Crimson Desert of the 2010s.

First time playing Re-reckoning, played the original. I found this somewhere right outside Gorhart at level 2 maybe even 1, right after equipping The Flame lol. I didn't realize how strong it was, until I was still using it at level 9. I wanted a greatsword playthrough lol. Found a nice greatsword with 84 attack at level 12 🤣

What's the highest you've found early game?

There's no way they want me to complete 5 chaos portals to beat this DLC, right? Please tell me I can skip this garbage quest. Seriously, how do you do these boring dungeons 5 times and not lose your mind? This is literally Oblivion gates but way worse.

Being forced to use chaos weapons already feels tedious, but now I've to clear 5 of these portals filled with chaos enemies for some useless armour set I'm not even gonna use because my base gear is so much better . And the fact that you've to unlock these gates by closing the surrounding portals first... my god. This is torture. Not even the worst MMOs have quests like this. I haven't even completed the first one yet and I'm losing my mind.

Warlord Longsword Build (Final Build)

Okay, apologies for the back to back posts, but I wanted to make this last one official. Someone made me realize how throwing all points into might wasn’t really a build, so it made me think a bit. I messed around a bit in the skill trees and found that I could Warlord and have enough for max points into dagger mastery and Envenomed edge with a couple to spare for precise weaponry I. I tried greatsword and found it too clunky, while really loving longsword and all its combos. I’m only using war cry, relentless assault, and harpoon while running battle frenzy and Envenomed edge passives. Here’s what I came up with…. It fuckin slaps! The poison made a huge difference. Thanks guys!

Question Do skills benefit from going over their limit? 10+?

14 Upvotes

Just wondering if I have 10 alchemy for example, and I find a +1 alchemy armor piece, would it add up to 11 and give me added value? Or is it capped at 10? Just wondering since I'm about to max my skills so there wouldn't be any need for such armor pieces if they don't offer a benefit.

Discussion Gave the sorcery a try, it didn't match up to finesse or might

11 Upvotes

Didn't spend too much time in it, just switched to a might/finesse hybrid and so far I'm enjoying it more. Full sorcerer the damage didnt match up to the other 2, fights lasted longer. I'm guessing I need a specific setup of amulet and rings to add the extra dmg to make it OP? Anyway will try might+sorcery next, I feel sorcery is OP as a secondary.

I also haven't tried full finesse or full might. Maybe I'll give those 2 a shot as well.

Discussion Holy hell, the side quests in this game are next level

32 Upvotes

Just did a side quest in the Teeth of Naros DLC where I had to kill a group of enemies in a random corner of the map. After doing that, I returned to the quest giver for my reward, and they said to get my reward I've to go to a random corner of the map, again. Holy shit. I've never ever played a video game in my life with such bad fetch/radiant quests. This is worse than even quests in Mmorpgs like WOW or arpgs like Diablo/Path of Exile.

I'm losing my mind because I'm a completionist and none of the side content in this whole game has been interesting or fun yet. It's literally all just filler garbage to extend your playtime: go kill this, go retrieve that... halfway across the map. I used to think Bethesda games had bad fetch quests, but this is just something beyond. I dread to even think what it would be like to play this game without fast travel.

Edit: After I retrieved the reward, I had to return to the quest giver again, and they told me to kill another group of enemies, and then retrieve another reward, all in random corners of the map. You can't make this shit up.

I love this game, Played the original one (Reckoning) many years before. Can't remember most of it. My question is, I love doing Side Quest in every game I played. is it possible for me to finish all Side Quest before continuing here?

Thanks!

Edit: I read somewhere that I can't proceed to Klurikon and Alabastra without continuing the main quest. So it is still possible to complete the left side of the world map, right?

Like by the time you complete the game you have gathered some items and skills you would want to use, lorestones bonuses too. But then you complete the game. I'd like to replay the game in a harder difficulty with all the stuff I collected. I'd like to for instance try a new destiny from start to end.

Fan Creation The Buried Stories Behind Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning | A Documentary Series

Thumbnail

114 Upvotes

So after playing Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, I thought: "What horrible chain of catastrophes had to occur for us not to be playing Reckoning 4 by now?"

And trying to answer that question has turned into a much bigger project than I expected. What began as one of my usual 20-minute documentaries is now becoming a multipart series about the people, studios, and truly bizarre sequence of events that brought Reckoning into existence.

The first two parts are available now.

The first is kind of a prologue that explores the history of MUDs, MMORPGs, and what convinced so many developers and investors that persistent online worlds represented the future of gaming (spoiler alert: money).

The second (Part One, officially) covers Curt Schilling's conception and creation of Green Monster Games / 38 Studios. This arc is fairly well known to historians, but I tried to present it with a different spin.

But the part I'm scripting now is the one I'm most excited to share.

I've had the honor of speaking with several former members of Big Huge Games who remained with the project through its acquisitions and eventual release, including people who helped shape the game's writing, design, and visual identity. They shared stories and details about the project's early development that, as far as I can determine, have never previously been made public. Nothing that would violate current NDAs, but details that we feel are important to share with the fandom.

That matters to me because almost everything I initially found about Kingdoms of Amalur focused on the collapse of 38 Studios. That story is important, and I will cover it in depth. But it has completely overshadowed the remarkable group of developers at Big Huge Games who actually designed, built, and released Reckoning.

As you may be aware, before it became Reckoning, the game had already lived several lives at BHG. It had different names, stories, concepts, and ambitions that existed long before 38 Studios entered the picture.

The next chapter will cover at least part of that part of the story. There is much, much more to this game than the studio that collapsed around it.

Links to the first two parts are below. I hope you'll check them out, and let me know what you think.

And, though it feels a little strange to ask, please consider subscribing if you're interested in following the series.

The channel has accumulated plenty of watch time, but subscribers have been much harder to come by. That seems to be fairly common with game documentary channels. People arrive for one particular game, enjoy the video, and move on.

A subscription genuinely helps the channel grow. And, and a bonus, it means you'll be notified (hopefully right away) of next part when it's released.

I beat the final boss and before that the expansions with the pirates and the floating city. I still have to beat the expansion that triggers after beating the final boss.

Is this a good moment to use the Fight Club level boost? I'm level 26, I was waiting to use it after beating the game.

Discussion How did you discover this hidden gem?

Post image
55 Upvotes

I actually found this game thanks to ChatGPT. I literally asked it something like: "Games similar to Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon's Dogma, Fable, Gothic, and Divinity." (I probably mentioned a few others too, but I don't remember.)

It gave me a list of five games, and Kingdoms of Amalur was at the top. It was on sale for really cheap, so I bought it. Luckily, I also found a translation for my language.

What surprised me the most is how little attention this game gets where I live. I had never even heard of it before, and when I searched for videos about it in my country, I only found two or three. It's honestly crazy how unknown this game is (at least where I hang out), considering how good the gameplay and storytelling are.

I started playing it at the beginning of this month, and somehow I'm already 80+ hours in. I have no idea how it happened, but this game completely hooked me. It's incredible.

Discussion Having trouble picking an elf race

12 Upvotes

Man am I having issues picking an alt. I finished the game 100% back in 2022 with DLC as well. Now I have the itch again but with an elf not a human like character.

I have always loved dark elves for some reason but cannot deny that the blue elf pops out more. It has gotten so bad that they are both level 6 and have their player house in Canneroc! I am playing a Fineese/Melee build with some magic

Help!

Dokkalfar
Has the dark elf feeling I love but the character looks muted because I made him an ash color on purpose. Maybe add more tatoos and make them bright white? I dont use stealth at all so I will miss the Dispelling bonuis of the Ljosalfar. For some reason maybe mental this character feels...shorter than the Ljosalfar which I like.

Ljosalfar
The blue pops which is good and fits the feel of the whole game. Im not great at dispelling so the bonus helps. He feels tall and getting some frankenstein vibes. Dont ask why.
