I enjoyed it, but the leveling scaling makes it unplayable for a long period of time, because maps scale to the level you first entered them in. The combat is pretty close to Fable 1 mixed with MMOslop.

If a mod exists to balance the leveling or remove the scaling, it's probably worthwhile. If you can get it on sale or free it's fun to check out for a bit.

It is soulless and should be avoided
You will play it for a bit and find it fun, only to realize how shallow and uninspired it is in all arenas. Character, quest, gameplay, graphics, etc. design are all completely unimpressive. This game is a product and had zero (0) passionate developers.

Play Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. It's got some jank but it has endless soul and is actually fun

>because maps scale to the level you first entered them in
How does that make in unplayable? If anything doesn’t that make it better to play since each map wouldn’t be too easy or too difficult?

Just trust me bro, or play it and find out

A bug ridden, ugly, poorly made mess, the definition of a committee made game.
Also the level scaling does absolutely nothing because crafting is so absurdly fucking busted you'll outstat anything easily even at max scaling level, as in your generic craftable Tier 2 equipment (out of 5) alone can be crafted into a monstrosity that will trivialize even the last DLC content.

It's like Skyrim with much less soul but better combat

But I thought old = soul?

It's generic. It was an okay 20 dollar game 20 years ago, it's absolutely nothing special now.

>>730948632
I didn't say it was soulless

>>730947117
Is this worth playing the orginal over? Or is it like 99% of 'remasters' and a utter demake?

>>730947117
it's like WoW questing, literally. 100.000 kill/fetch quests

>>730948632
No, no, anon. Old ≈ soul. You're more likely to get soul with older games because video games were less of an actual industry the further you go back, meaning that you had devs who were hobbyists that were so passionate that they took what they loved and tried to make a living out of it. As time went on, more and more devs are just computer programmers, artists, and writers who simply wanted a job, thus robbing anything that they create of a soul.
Soul still exists in newer games, but they're much rarer outside of indie passion projects.

its the game people say avowed is

The graphics are marginally better and not worth. I think they made a dlc that is only for the remaster tho, so if you like this proto-sloppa that much, it may be worth getting remastered (doubt tho)

Imagine the most basic fantasy setting, now imagine you doing single player mmo quests in them.

If you got an itch for solid action RPG and you dont have much in your backlog then id say go play it but if not then dont. Its fine game if you been there done that basically played majority of games you mentioned and just want fine action rpg gameplay loop. I played through this game after I finally played Witcher 3 and Dragons Dogma and i was suprised I had fun with it because I expected something a lot worse.

>>730947812
this nigga out here defending level scaling in games for free
level scaling = lazy devs

>>730947117
it's a single player mmØrpg

>>730947117
first 1/2 of the game feels great
but then game goes for way too long, and you just start skipping content or you will get bored

>>730947117
Play the original version. They added soulsslop mechanics and hitstop(which might actually just be lag) in this version. And it don't even look better.

Anyway reckoning is pretty great. I find it more enjoyable than Skyrim.
