Play this demo and understand why SkyRim is the best RPG out there and why Bethesda are so good at doing what they do. Ugh. It's making my skeleton itch, I'm only doing it for the ME3 freebies.

if kingdoms has good dialogue options, customizations, lots of options and a meaningful world that changes with me as i level, i'll probably get it even if the lore isn't great or the graphics are subpar.

content wins.

It could be good it could be bad.
Competition is always good I believe.
They have a long way to go to compete with Bethesda but I hope they bring something to the table as it were

I just read the first alinea of the article wikipedia has on the game, and the three names mentioned there are enough to make me drool.

Ken Rolston, Todd McFarlane and R.A. Salvatore?
