I played Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning a lot. A lot. It’s one of my favorite games and I’ve argued many times that it’s a significantly better game than Skyrim and deserved better, and also that Rhode Island shouldn’t be allowed to invest in computer game studios.
So when THQ Nordic bought KoA and re-released it along with a brand new DLC, I was temporarily excited. But in the end, what ended up happening was that I got many hours of excellent play out of the original game and its two DLC’s, and then I played Fatesworn and it didn’t feel good. It felt like a fanfic of the original game, not an actual DLC, and the idea that the Fateless One’s ultimate reward was…
I’ll just move on to the first question.
Yes, of course I made several barely-considered but inexpensive purchases for the current Steam sale. I am not made of stone, here. And yes, of course, since the start of the current Steam sale I have added more than double the number of games to my wishlist as I have impulsively purchased. And so shall the sun rise again in the morning.
This is The Queue, our daily column where it seems like you have questions but you already have the answers you want me to give. So.
Oh, fine, you all convinced me. I’ll try out the fancy new Elves in Warcraft: Forever.
Of course, the first step is coming up with a good name, and after I couldn’t be Tobias Fünke, Ursus Ursus, or Trucka Saurus, I had to settle on Lookout Itsabear. I’ve only just gotten to the second hub in their starting area, but it’s already such a weird mix of familiar and new. It’s been so long since I leveled a character without immediately covering it in heirlooms and spending money that it’s been a fun throwback.
Will I start up another Skyborne Elf when the game comes out? I don’t know, but until then I’ll keep poking around the Azeroth of old.
While I sit and drink some of this sparkling water to get my mana back, again, it’s time for our daily question and answer column — The Queue!
