The DRM-free crowd is just as zealous as the people wanting stuff to be Steam-only, no doubt ^^

Unfortunately, you'll have to.
Not sure why there's so much hate with Origin.

So is the Weapons and Armor pack included with the base game?

I was just wondering since the keys are only for base game, naros, and kel.

Does the armor pack unlock with the base game? Just wondering?

well you have that option can pay full price or wait for steam sale think last one was only 40% off Thu forget been a while

Been looking for a deal on the Dr. Who games. How are they? Anyone here play them yet?

It's EA. I won't deny it's a great deal but I don't feel like installing Origin when there's zero chance I'll ever want another EA game/other product that requires Origin.

Eventually they'll auction off 38's IP and there will be a sale on Steam. Not dying to play.

I played five minutes and I liked what I played. Pretty nice looking for an adventure game. Puzzles were a little simple but it also was the beginning so I'm sure they ease you into it. I've never seen Dr. Who fwiw so I'm just basing this on liking adventure games.

Yeah, I didn't want to go by what the 2 hosts say. I don't think they are 100% accurate at times.

I would like to know as well becuase I am on the fence on this one. Can someone convince me and Tony can we get confirmation on the Weapons and Armor DLC because they said it was included on the show but I only see the base game, Naros DLC, and Dead Kel DLC.

Yeah, that's the weird thing. Hosts don't know everything. They might have been told "all DLC" and just wikied some info without actually checking.

I don't see the weapon/armor pack listed on amazon though at all.

I did find it odd they focused on the weapons when the Naros and Kel DLC would be the bigger sellers IMO.

Heh, you can tell from their comments they don't really know. I followed the development of KoA:R pretty closely a while back and I am pretty certain the Oblivion guy isn't the "LEAD" developer as they said.

I could absolutely see that being the case here. The hosts do seem a little out there. So I am not sure I would trust them 100% on anything when they say something because they don’t seem to know what’s going on around them at all. They can’t even seem to look at the right camera and seem a little befuddled at times. I am not sure I like them as hosts but this is only my first time watching so I will reserve my judgment.

Ken Rolston was Lead Creative Visionary for KOA:R, whatever the heck that means...

I wrote a full blown review a bit ago for KOA: Reckoning - Legend of Dead Kel DLC.
While I did like the base game of KOA: Reckoning (base game) A LOT (hell, I spent over 70+ hours with it!), that particular Dead Kel DLC really stood out as something VERY special; ESPECIALLY for a DLC.

Oddly enough, never wrote a full-blown review for KOA: Reckoning (base game).
I never touched Naros, though - and I really should, some time down the line.

For $12, KOA: Reckoning Pack (KOA:R + Dead Kel DLC + Naros DLC) is an INSANE deal.

They definitely need a lot of work. They aren't comfortable in front of the camera, not completely knowledgeable on what they are selling, and don't come off as genuinely enthusiastic about what they are selling/doing.

Seems like the picked two people to do it and they are just getting used to it. You never know, they could improve and develop some chemistry. So far the show itself has not been entertaining at all, but since people just watch for the deals then it's not a big issue.

Actually preordered Amalur on Steam. Been waiting for a sale on the DLC for ages now. Didn't feel like waiting any longer and bought the package for $12. Now to see if there's some way I can transfer my save.

Judging by the actual pack on amazon, I'm not going to hold my breath for the weapons and armor pack they continued to plug, unless it's somehow bundled with the base game.

Amazon should hire ex-gamespot Jane Douglas and Seb Ford to host this instead. I don't know what's up with Gamespot, their shows are getting really spotty and regular episodes of things like Quoted for Truth aren't coming out anymore...Maybe Tony can forward this on to the powers that be...Those 2 had a funner dynamic.

LOL!!!
Most of us here know - EA games (from 3rd parties) DO NOT activate on Steam.
EA been trying to force Origin onto people for A LONG TIME.

Except we always have to answer this question every other page



Does KB/M work well with KoA or should I plug in a controller?

P.S. Oh snap! I'm a CAG Vet now, yay!
