REALITY

Usually sucks but at least like in morrowind it could help you level efficiently if done right I like the idea but usually not good in practice

a lot of gamers wanted more realism. But reality is tedious and way less fun.

🤣😂 I am so torn about it. In certain aspects I really like it, especially in games like this and BotW. There are so many weapons in the world that there isn't much need to grow super attached to certain weapons. At least there are methods of repairing things in KoA unlike BotW. Even though the Lynels are master blacksmiths, there was not a friendly or civilized one anywhere to be found to repair anything. The realism factor is what is appealing to me. Just like any blade would get worn out the more it's used the damage should drop gradually and could be brought back up to prime if sharpened/repaired. I am curious what the first game was to implement gear durability though.

That's a great idea if you're just trying to power through, but doesn't it kind of kill the excitement of finding a new piece of gear, knowing that it will be garbage compared to what you're already using? Kind of like using hacked gear in Diablo.

@@tylerrue3108 Not really. There's only a few tiers of equipment in the game, and the difference between, say, an iron sword and a steel sword, is significant. However, the main things that determine your strength and damage output are your abilities. The difference between a sword in the hand of a character at low level with no abilities that enhance its powers and a sword in the hands of a character at high level with abilities based around increasing weapon damage is vast. Once you've got high tier gear, you can sell gear to spend on Skill trainers, so you can get a permanent +1 to skills like Detect Hidden, Lockpicking, etc, and respeccing your character to get the build you want. More importantly, a lot of the gear you're going to find will be kinda basic. Barring item sets, most equipment only has maybe one or two bonuses to it at best, and a socket if you're lucky, and every item set I found is lackluster compared to smithed gear of the same tier. Smithed gear has up to four bonuses per item including a gem at max level, and you can tailor it to the optimum setup for your build, rather than hoping that the RNG gods smile down upon you. All in all, the crafting system for this game is far better than the random loot system.

I would advise against this unless on the new Very Hard mode as it breaks the game. At least it did for me 8 years ago when I played 300+ hours. I was way too OP after crafting in the end of the game. Personally I would invest in "Detect Hidden" first off so you wont miss tons of hidden loot and even hidden doors.

@@PartStupid True, but again, said treasures all pale in comparison to anything that you can build yourself, and your real strength comes from skills. Heck, if you invest in becoming a late game mage, your weapons are nothing compared to the massive AOEs you can drop. Kingdoms of Amalur wasn't made to be a hard game, it was made to be a fun game, and in that, it succeeded. Some people just enjoy becoming overpowered and steamrolling over all opposition.

Personally I went Detect Hidden first and only when i was being prevented by soft level caps did I start investing in Blacksmithing. @First Last But I agree with you, the crafted gear in each tier far outperforms the same tier gear you find. At the end of the day, as long as you are having fun it doesn't matter but that is the best option imho

Also she forgot a lot of important tips : 1) always carry a weapon that deals fire damage around, so you can open the spiderweb walls when you find them. 2) Detect Hidden is the best skill to upgrade 3) save often, and in different slots. The game is as buggy as the original, if not more (they didn't fix any bugs). A few can be game-breaking. 4) Go to the south (area called Webwood), and do the main sidequest in Canneroc asap. The reward is your first house, and it has a personal stash that can hold 300 items. 5) If you like loot-hunting like in Diablo (ie finding gear upgrades from chests, monsters, quests, shops...), don't use blacksmithing or you'll end up creating stuff that's much better than anything you can find. I like the excitement of discovering great loot, but it completely disappears when 99,9999999% of the things you find are junk. 6) Always save your game before trying to dispel a "very hard" treasure chest. Failing at the mini-game could kill you. If you're on pc, you can use Cheat Engine and set the speedhack to 0.25 to slow the game way down and easily dispel any curse (it is also useful to set this speedhack to 2.00 while exploring the overworld to double the game's speed, since it is kinda slow to explore sometimes and the game is incredibly huge). 7) I disagree with Food Then Games on one point : don't try to do all sidequests if you want to not get burnt out before you reach the end! As I said, the same is huge and if you try to 100% it in your first playthrough, chances are high that your attention will go to another game or something before you reach the end.

I do in the very beginning because at very low levels, repair is cheaper than repair kits. And of course at endgame, because once I have 500K gold and nothing to spend it on, 14K to repair armor isn't a big deal.

@@armorvil I usually put 2 points in Detect Hidden then work on Blacksmithing and Sagecrafting. I'll usually max detect hidden around level 15-20 to do the great lorestone hunt. I definitely agree that doing all the sidequests on a first run will make you crazy. Plus you get twists of fate from main and faction quest lines so in the end they make you stronger and you advance quicker.

two of the first skills i max out are Mercantile and Detect Hidden, if there's one thing i ain't hurtin' for, it's Gold

@@shimmyking4 bruh yes, I have 1 million gold right now and don’t have anything to buy and I’m only level 19. Have to make it over to the coast to get higher level purchases

I just started out as Might/Magic I love the way both work. The Chakrams are primary while I have a greatsword or hammer as second

I just downloaded it yesterday and I've been struggling being work today.

Bro same. Never knew this game before and downloaded it just to try it. It turned out to be hidden gem and Im playing this for hours

Hahahaha

Tasks, right? Most of those never end. I just ignore those ppl

Same!

darksiders is really underrated 🤘

@@nercu743 - My favorite franchise! Absolutely love it. I have a massive collection for it too. Glad they both are living on.

Welp gotta max out blacksmithing so u can power through enemies with your crafted armor and weapons

You can store the books in your player stash in the first house you get. And while stored, the quest progress is still shown so you can see how many books you have left to collect.

@@Zodiac8620 this is fixed in this remaster? That was so annoying in the original game.

what is max lvl in this game ?? lvl 2 here :D

@@loordgabriell5694 lvl 40,

I was lvl 25 when I found out.. x.x

@@alkaupadhyay7650 Do you might now if you drop better Items when you playing a higher difficulty? Bcs I am done with the story and do not know how I can get better Equipment bcs the Monster-lvl will be the same or not?

Hehe. I never want to but they are always near those crates that are SO enjoyable to smash! ^_^

@@PartStupid there is an Easter egg in the game if you take out x amount that is funny

In Klurikon, specifically High Flugen, there is a place called Primordia. You have to defeat Tirnoch first, but you can go inside and the chickens inside attack you. IDK what the benefit is in killing them. If they gave you food items or something ...

Yep

I'm sure you've used meteor spell in Reckoning mode. If not, it takes out the enemy in one shot (so long as they aren't 2 far away). I like melee myself and usually save spells for large crowds or large enemies.

Actually, even on Xbox 360. I played it on that system.

@@donaldlayton437 oh okay I couldn't remember

I haven't gotten far enough in to comment on crafting yet, but as far as game play most of what was done is in the background. The big thing is they fixed the loot tables so that an area isn't level locked.

I think it would be good to be a bit better with legendary items if your like amazing at crafting otherwise I'm with you legendary should be like oh shit this is awesome

Considering that is only a remastered version, I would assume that it is still the same way

Re-release under different publisher would probably be closer to the truth. Console versions got a few QoL updates, but PC version is mostly untouched. Still fun, but not really changed in any significant manner.

@@brycearmstrong9370 there are some QoL things updated for PC. Most of those are things like the loot tables that run completely in the background though.

🙌🙌🙌

repair kits is cheap AF

Stream run starts today and I'll also be doing a let's play!

They’ll only scale up to a certain point (some people have said level 12, it used to be level 40) - but honestly it’s nice to be a bit OP to start the game too so it’s personal preference!! For myself I like it to start the game!

I’ve been getting random world drops

They’ll spawn randomly like the last as far as I know!

I tried that. All my stuff was still lvl 1 or lvl 3. Maybe I missed an update. It doesn't automatically update as I lost internet some time ago ($$ issues), but plan on getting it again soon. Maybe an update recently (within last few days of 10/1) changed that.

I'm not super into builds and generally use what's fun! But for myself personally if you wanted to do pure finesse I'd suggest faeblades and poison to start!

NO problem for me, but I'm on ps4. I switched to Sony because off all the malfunctions on Xbox.

Huh? Almost immediately? I've played quite a few hours now. I don't even know where Didenhill is. And I don't know what bindings and grips are.

@@MarcBridie Didenhill is right outside of the region of Odarath that you begin the game in. Follow the main road towards the first Keep of the Warsworn called Shieldring Keep. Take a left and continue following the main road until you unlock the town of Didenhill. You'll need to have leveled up a few levels, have a few thousand to spend, and have a few extra blacksmith skill levels, but all of this is very quick and easy to achieve early. Since you said you've been playing for hours, you most likely have everything you'd need to get started crafting the strongest weapons possible at that point of the game. If you need help, just let me know. Good luck.

I don't know if they've said ... but we'll find out soon I'm sure 😏😎✌

In the OG game the zones were lvl locked im sure you know. So when you went back to starter town and did the whole starter zone the area that Rathir is in is gonna have lvl 4 mobs making the whole zone pointless

Yeah!!! Im not sure if its the same quest I got the bug but I was fighting some guys and I had to poison the valley by just throwing them over the edge and i went into the cave mid fight by accident and i was almost finished the game and lost fast travel I was sooo distraught

Try saving before entering the cave, but after getting the quest. Reload if it happens again and it should reset. 90% sure it will anyway. Never had it happen to me.

If you find better use it

@@dylanflynn1895 thanks man.

Just be careful. If you swap out other armor, you lose the sets' group attributes (like health/mana regen)

Nope you cant man, unique (purple) and set items (gold) cant be salvaged only sold! But they do generate a lot of gold when sold! A level 10 set items sells easily for 20K. So i recommend selling all those you dont use and invest the money in training of your skills!!

@@raoulz9619 Love that answer. You're appreciated!

@@Pinefr0st you're welcome!

In the options you can set that on the controller.

@@Harrison11106 ok, nice! Thank you! 😊

The moment youu open the chest, the items will be stuck at that level. They will have a range (5 to 12 or 15 I think) so if you open at 3 they will be level 5 items, if you open at level 8, they will be level 8, if you open at level 30, they will be level 12(or 15, it depends on the max range level they've set that zone). At the current time, the items will be stuck at that level, maybe in the future it will change with a patch or a mod to set the items to the player level.

Hugo Agostinho aawww that sucks thanks for letting me know

Hugo Agostinho is there any way to craft armour with the appearance of the dlc armours?

@@TehSlayerOfDragonz I'm not sure but I think not.

Hugo Agostinho damn😔

I believe they talked a bit about that in the FAQs THQ put out for the remaster! I linked it up in my other video!

Hey!! Thx for the reply and linking the info! Sounds like maybe they fixed it? 🤷🏽 Going to give the other video a watch 🙂

The mouse sensitivity is still really sensitive -- I did put it almost on the lowest setting and was fine but I don't think they've adjusted it from original.

@@FoodThenGames That's unfortunate. I like to keep my sensitivity relatively the same between all games (12" across the mousepads equalling a 360 turn). Mainly for muscle memory for when i play shooters.

I’m honestly not sure I’m sorry!

If you go into the lore section I had mentioned you can read each piece of lore which might help! You can also re-listen to it as well!

For PC or Switch? I don’t believe there’s a limit on PC and I have no idea about the switch!

the items from that chest are outleveled and obsolet after a few level ups. so only nice for the start.

Most of that stuff was DLC/Pre-Order bonuses in the original version of the game. Re-Reckoning just provides with everything right off the bat.

I know

Agree

Write an email suggesting this to THQ. Maybe they'll make upgradable weapons/armor. I'd like that sht 2

Also, I think there should be purchasable components for forging with Fate enhancing.

I am! I started an on stream play through today and will have the start of a let’s play up this week!

Food Then Games then I’ll be sure to watch it. I just bought it and it sounds like a fun game. For now though, time to go to sleep.. Adulting sucks

I used chakrams and faeblades in the video! Both are in the special delivery chest!!!

Oh do I have good news for you......

Someone had mentioned on stream that you could but I’m not sure where that setting would be!

It's in the options in the camera options ... that alone makes it worth it
