This tree furthers your choice of skills that aid you on the journey through Amalur. In addition to an already massive set of ablities, is the skill tree. While similar to the Destinies, these are unlocked from questing and also provide small bonuses to your character. A small, yet interesting, incentive are the Twists of Fate cards. You are able to cycle through Mage, Rogue or Knight as you see fit.

One of the best features of this tree is the ability to reset it and try a new Destiny at any time. Leading to literally becoming a Jack of all Trades. Eventually, and with enough experience gained, you can master all three Destinies. As you gain experience in the game, and spend points, you unlock Destinies which boost your abilities. A player can waste a lot of time playing around with how to spend skill points, and they can be combined to fit playstyles. It centers around three main class types Sorcery, Finese, and Might. One of the best products of this title is the ability upgrades. After creating your character you are reborn, only to learn you are now a “fateless one” with potential for great power. There are some customizations that add a little variety, but they are still fairly basic since they weren’t completely overhauled for the release. It is reminiscent to the birthsign mechanic in the Elder Scrolls games. Each race comes with their own racial bonuses, and you are able to choose a god or a sign, if you will, that will add another small buff to the character you create. You select your character’s race, and whether you want to play as a male or female. Starting a new game is essentially the same as many RPGs. And even though it isn’t a complete remaster, Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is a big leap in the right direction for giving new life to old titles. When I heard one of my favorite PS3 games was being released on the Switch, I was nothing short of elated. Games like Legend of Dragoon and Chrono Trigger come to mind almost immediately in any conversation concerning those deserving a remaster. There is a very small list of role-playing games I would love to see remastered.
