I actually described this game to my friends in a similar way. I used examples like Baldur's Gate, and Torchlight, just using a closeup third person camera.
Honestly, I dont even read half the quests. I see exclamation points, go up and X through to the point where I accept it and just check the Quests menu to see what I need to do. I think the only quests Ive actually read/listened to were the Faction Quests, and my Main Story Quests. Even then, its only the blue topics, I never check out the white ones.
The strength of this game is without a doubt, the core gameplay. If you enjoy tinkering with character builds, crafting potions and weapons, and undertaking the neverending quest for better loot for your character, then this game is aces.
The combat is absolutely awesome, and the minor nitpick I have is actually with the camera needing to pan back about 10 yards or so in instances where there are multiple mobs surrounding me. The gameplay is addictive, and very enjoyable.
If youre looking for Story as the main draw of your RPG experience, Reckoning may let you down, but if you enjoyed games like Torchlight that really didnt even need a story to be fun, you will absolutely love this game.
Killing, Looting, Crafting, and Re-Speccing. Thats the name of the game in Reckoning.
