Story
The game begins as you discover that you are dead, and that you are
the first person to have successfully been through the resurrection
process known as The Well of Souls.
Gameplay
Kingdoms of Amalur will feature "5 distinct regions, 4 playable races and 3 classes with 22 abilities per tree." The four playable races are Almain (noble Humans), the Dokkalfar (Dark Elves), the Ljosalfar, (Light Elves) and the Varani
(nomadic Humans). A big difference between other RPGs is that you start
almost classless, so you can make your own unique class (e.g. Might
skills with some basic Sorcery spells). The three classes (or ability
trees) are Might, Finesse and Sorcery;
they correspond to fighter, rogue and mage classes respectively. The
player starts off as a "blank slate", waking up in a pile of corpses
after coming back from the dead. The game utilises a unique "destiny"
system, whereby the players can invest in a skill-tree system to unlock
various "destinies", which acts as the class system for the game. Combat
works based on the timing of button presses, similar to the style of an
action RPG, with occasional quick time events similar to those in the God of War series.
Lead combat designer, Joe Quadandra, emphasized that "twitch skill is
only going to get you so far. Strategy and proper RPG is going to get
you further." 38 Studios founder Curt Schilling said that the style of
the game will be a marriage between God of War and Oblivion.
