What are your thoughts on Kingdom of amalur the reckoning demo?

[ameemo]

So, i played the demo and i have to say that i honestly enjoyed it. I loved the combat, the skill system and i like how the character branches into different specialities with the fate system. I love the visuals, i normally prefer colorful environments in games.
Even though i think the game is gonna be awesome, i do hate the dialogue system, it feels kinda intuitive to me and i hate the whole silent protagonist thing, kinda take away the immersion. Hope they improve the dialogue system before release.
I checked out some forums to see what people thought of the game and some of them were just ridiculous, some people said the wont buy it because the environment is too colorful, looks like WoW and it's childish but it's a fantasy game, it is not supposed to look like reality
some people said that the story is too generic because you the chosen one destined to save the world but isn't that true about every game in the rpg genre, aren't supposed to be the dragonborn in the highly acclaimed skyrim? the last of your kind and destined to save the world? isn't it the same? Or would it be better if you played as lydia, while the dragonborn saves the world?
I think it's a great game and hopefully it becomes a success.

I thought it was kinda generic, the story didn't seem to enthrall me that much from the start. I was really hoping this would be everything Fable was supposed to be for me, but it seems to damn plain.

I couldn't play the demo because I was too awesome for it. Seriously.

I killed the two archers before the game decided that I was 'allowed' to, so it crashed shortly after it gave me the objective to kill the archers that I just finished killing.

I barely knew about this game's existence yesterday. I'm pre-ordering the game tomorrow.

So... I guess it was good.

I went into the demo having never heard of it before and I was pleasantly surprised.

The combat feels like Fable: TLC but vastly improved. The levelling instantly reminded me of WoW though, the skill trees follow Fable's 'three skill' logic but they aesthetically look like WoWs. The Reckoning mode reminds me of DMC and GoW, with Kratos-style finishers! I like it, it's a nice blend. The lore is sounding interesting too, can't wait to discover more.

I'm not too thrilled about not being able to remap my cast spell button. I'd rather block with my right mouse and cast with Q. I was wondering through, is it just me or does blocking force a swap between secondary and prmary? I ask because I have remapped a majority of the keys and it seems that everytime I use Q to block I swap between my secondary and primary. Also after reading that it's supposed to be open world, I felt quite penned in within the environments much like Fable did.

Demo's on Origin, can;t play it.

Also on Steam.
