Can you post your inspector settings? What compatibility mode are you using for AA? Does it interfere with the AA from the post-processing in the game?

Can you post your inspector settings? What compatibility mode are you using for AA? Does it interfere with the AA from the post-processing in the game?
Hey all. Over at TwitchTV we're having a massive community-wide launch event for Kingdoms of Amalur, hosted by Day9 of StarCraft fame. You can check out all the streams here-
http://www.twitch.tv/team/reckoning/
There's a full schedule of events as well, including prize giveaways, interviews with Curt Schilling, Todd McFarlane, R.A. Salvatore and other special events-
http://reckoning.amalur.com/dayofreckoning
It officially kicks off at 5PM EST but as I type this, TotalBiscuit and djWHEAT are now live with their own sessions. Do check it out if you're like me and you're interested in the game from all the positive buzz but not 100% ready to pull the trigger.

Because I am totally buried in games from 2011 still
I downloaded it off amazon, do I get this dlc?
Glad I preordered it. At gamestop they only had a couple spare 360 copies and no spare ps3 copies (spare meaning non-preorder copies).
Currently still making my way through the extremely boring tutorial again. Doing this again makes me wish I never tried the demo as I would only have to experience this once. Game seems to run fairly well on PS3, but the blu ray drive makes a ton of noise and frequently too. Also noticed some pretty big framerate drops so far, usually during big things like rocks falling onto people. Sound seems to be delayed a lot too. Like people would scream 5 seconds after they were killed already.

Not sure how I feel about this marketing tactic. It's cool and quite forward thinking that they are reaching out to streamers but at the same time it's so blatantly manufactured I can't take any of the streams seriously.

I got the steam version and I dont see anything about a on-line pass or anything else? What am I missing?
Yep same thing at my store, 0 extra copies on either system and only 1 extra on pc.
This makes no sense. This is the best way to know what the game is like. Your seeing it played, harder levels. Not like they can say "Graphics have no pops!" when your watching it being played live. This thread alone has had many people sold on the game after watching live streams.
I was sold on the buggy demo, but I know people here were turned off by it. Until they watched the streams

Right now just going through the driver level to force all the stuff. Was going to play around with inspector today.

I think the online pass content is included by default in the Steam version.

No, I turned it off in the in-game settings since I am forcing it through the driver level and it stays off in the in-game settings.
IGN had a little note that the 360 had more pop-in than the PS3 build. That is all I have seen. Also that you need to play it installed on the 360 HDD to get the most out of it.

thanks for the update I went ahead and grabbed the 360 copy.

Lol, its so funny to watch Tobi and Soe live stream this game. Soe is blaming the controller for her being killed so much and tobi is screaming like a little girl constantly over the bosses and new abilities/loot he gets.
I think Curt said all of the bonus stuff is in the first "town/village" in a chest.
I wont be able to play my game until i get home so I can not confirm this 100%.
Enter the code in origin then the first town has a chest outside with your items
Yeah, you have to reach Canneroc and complete a sidequest to get your first stash.
Thanks for the help!
Good thing I just found that town then. Woo.
Seriously, potions are broken. Play on hard.

Is it in the special deliveries chest? If so, I did not get anything...I have the Steam copy so not sure what the hell it going on unless it is a different chest. I am in teh first town with the fae person that was attacked and she is laying on the ground moaning all the time. The chest is here right?
Steam copy doesn't have any pre-order items.
Not really. The items you get are nice but you will eventually find better items later on.
Speaking of which, when you have a set of something, is there an easy way to tell what having the complete set does?
I think at the bottom of the item description there is an accumulative bonus when you have the full x/x in the set.
The IGN guys where showing it when they had the live streaming going.

Is the a way to look at your map and see all the quest markers at once? It's hard to decide what quests to do when you have so many open, knowing where they are would make deciding easier.

Anyone else here enjoying alchemy and making potions? I love the ability to just throw reagents together at random to try and discover new recipes. Last night I discovered a "Flesh Eater" potion that lets you consume health from enemies.
Also I'm loving being a rogue with a bow skill thats so high.
*Dodge!*
SHOOT! SHOOT!SHOOT!SHOOT!SHOOT!
*dead*
Feels good man. All my stuff is designed to force open mobs of enemies and pick em off. Got my ice blades to stun so I can dodge after a hit and my arrows do electric. Not as good as the static fire/electric bow I'm after that causes knockdown but a start. Just wait until I start flooding my poison stat alongside of my arrow stats. Its not too easy to pin me down right now, you suffer status effects for trying and I've barely started. Pure zoning rogue baby. Nail it all down in your house because if you haven't I likely already own it.
Might=1/Finesse=7/Sorcery=1
Also detect hidden? AWESOME. I dumped everything into it so far and every two steps I detect a hidden loot stash filled with goodies. At this rate I should invest more in my alchemy/blacksmithing to keep up with the ingredients I find that are worth a ton

I was referring to the items you get if you played the demo and day 1 dlc. For some reason and it is fucking retarded, when you load the PC game it says it is connecting to the ea servers and authenticating. It does this rather quick, but I assumed I was connected to the ea servers.
When I went to the chest it was empty, so I backed out and went to options. There was a "online" option so I hit that, entered my email/password and it logged be into the EA servers, which I assumed it already did. Anyways, when I go to the same chest I now had a complete set of "Shepard" armor which is pretty bad ass and new weopons.
Question still remains...how do you know if you have the Day 1 DLC? Am I correct in saying that it is a new quest or a line of quests?

Go to best buy, have them go to Toysrus.com and price match the game. TRU has it for 44.99 online.

Go to options before you load your game up, and connect it online. Problem solved.
That'll work? Excellent. Thank you kind sir.

Oh okay, thanks. I misunderstood. This is good to know though, because I would have most likely missed it as well.

Alright, so I played the shit outa the PS3 and 360 demos. Both had pop-in. Each had it pretty bad. The PS3 demo looked cleaner/clearer/sharper but had framerate issues since it wasn't capped. The 360 demo was blurry and the cut scenes looked like shit. I would believe the PS3 demo was 720p but not the 360 version. I just played all the way through the tutorial of the retail 360 game and did some quests on the outside and its every bit as good as I thought the PS3 demo looked. Not sure what they did to f*** up the look of the demo, but this is greatly improved over that. The framerate of the 360 demo wasn't bad but this seems to be even better on top of also looking better. If the PS3 version looks the same as its demo but with a capped framerate then I can safely say just go with the version whose controller you prefer. For me that's the 360. I'm very happy with how the final turned out compared to the demo.
What are the towns and NPC's like? Anything like skyrim?

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
This camera is still a piece of shit.
I read what the devs have said about it, but they are just completely wrong. It's incredibly annoying. And would be rather easy to fix.
Otherwise... I'm really happy with the game so far.

For those wondering about your demo unlocks and items for buying it new (on console), as you approach the first little town you'll get a notice of a new quest. That quest leads you to the box with all of your items in it.
