Found this easter egg in KOA:R (Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning for those uncool people)

I also finally found my last 4 lorestones by jumping from dungeon to dungeon... I think this might have been a steam first?

Yes, the game is very good. I keep trying to explain it as Skyrim with a combat system that's worth a damn. Spend hours, upon hours of doing things OTHER than the main quest. From what I've heard, the main storyline may take 45 hours, but a speed run through all content is ~200 hours.

It is nothing like Skyrim. More of a Fable-like game~

I know that is the quote that is being thrown around, but it def isn't the case. I'm at about 52hours and i'm struggling to try to find any quests I haven't done. Def worth the 60 bucks tho.

Yeah found the clarification from a Developer.

A 100% completion playthrough, on the other hand, is for the QA department to do a final rapid-fire verification all the game's content in a single build (no code or content changes between testing sessions). Normally they test things more carefully and slowly, of course, but near the end of development, one of the things you need to do is make sure the whole package works together on a single build.

So the testers clear out every single dungeon, complete every quest (and in cases where quests have alternate endings, they have to save/load and play through all endings), fight every combat encounter (not counting respawns), talk to every NPC, try every dialogue option, equip and use (at least briefly) every piece of loot, collecting all armor sets and lorestone sets, equipping each destiny and ability, playing each minigame at least once, flipping through each book, etc. etc. In short, if it's content in the game, they have to look at it. They're allowed to go as fast as they possibly can (skipping cutscenes, dialogue, sprinting everywhere, using fast travel a ton, etc.) but they do have to look at everything. The 200 hours number came from that round of testing, since that's the best means we have for measuring the total amount of "stuff to do" in the game.

Very interesting find, Sera. And Xel, it's as much similar to Skyrim as WoW is similar to SWtOR, in that they are both Western style RPGs. Of course the action and the graphics are more similar to Fable than Skyrim, the idea is the same. You have your normal story, and a bazillion other things you can do, including crafting, questing, and exploring.

just played the demo the other night (was very disappointed in how short the demo is [its timed]) but it seems like a very enjoyable game. i'd say elder scrolls with a splash of fable (art style, action rpg combo style fighting) i love the combat, not quite used to it, but its great being able to switch weapons, magic, and well really everything on the fly and combo it all together.
i've heard a lot of small complaints mixed in with a lot of big pluses ( good review: http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20120208/#n2263 ). what little i got to see of the game it looks great, its a shame im so into SWTOR and Rift right now.
