Unspoken Lies Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Anyone pick it up? If so opinions please! Looks like Fable/Diablo/Uhhh Fable hybrid.. I played the demo and liked it, but what kinda depth are we looking at here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dateranoth Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I have been playing it since release. It's pretty fun. The art style and the combat keep it interesting. Plus it has a pretty steady stream of loot and upgrades. The story is ok so far, but it is nothing mind blowing. Mostly your typical rpg stuff. Been streaming it every night.

Unspoken Lies Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have been reading up on this game a little.. will probably pick it up once the price drops.. sucks being poor and having to be selective what games you buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGWyant Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 One of my fav games now, to rpgs what gears 3 is to shooters. In my opinion anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectordream Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I was pumped for this. I liked the demo but was hoping that the full game would have something more. I guess my problem with it is that it just feels so generic. I usually love these kinds of game but I just can't find the drive to want or care about the characters and story. I wish I would of held off on it honestly.That said, I can totally see why some would just love this. It has all the ingredients to be really good. Combat is fun, talent trees are interesting and the loot is varied but it just feels like a been there done that for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unspoken Lies Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I do still have to finish Skrym.. I just can't get into it like I did Oblivion.. once that one is done this is my next RPG to tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all into it an it is fun to play, but the story just isn't that compelling. Maybe if I focused on the main quest it would be better, but I can't help but want to be everyone's errand boy.

ThermoNukePanda Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I've also been playing this and I feel that this game is what Fable SHOULD have been (my opinion, I hated Fable 3). Good graphics, engaging combat, huge world to explore, lots of loot/customizing, crafting systems, etc.I think for a new RPG from a new game studio they did a great job.

irish66 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Just hit hour 342 and finished the main story plus one of the DLC quests. i have to say its a great game with only one drawback that bugged me. It really sucks to have a level cap on an RPG. Made me go from running from old point to old point to fast travel. A smaller peve was the treasure inside the chests, kinda got old spending time opening a hard chest or dispelling a hard chest only to find a minor healing potion. Other than that i love it. For a game i got just because i had a gift card burning a hole.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
