Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Oh dear.
Penny Arcade was gushing about this Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning game, so I googled it. Frankly, they had me from "It looks a lot like WoW, so if you don't like that style, you might not be into it." This is the opposite of me. I lose interest in games that don't look like WoW. Visual style is way more important to me than visual realism: I don't want gray, gray, brown, gray. So when your grayest screenshots look like this and this, and your pretty screenshots look like this and this, you have my attention.
It's a single-player open-world RPG and it calls to me a lot more than Skyrim despite people's efforts to sell me on that. An interesting class system is icing on the cake: I like the idea of speccing for magic, then speccing some dexterity, and then bam, I unlock five different sorcerogue classes. R.A. Salvatore is one of the lore builders and while I've never exactly been a big fan of his, if you're that invested in your world-building, I'm intrigued. The lore is what kept me in WoW.
They currently have in the works an MMO, too, so if I like it, I'm basically screwed.
Preordered it, sigh. It comes out February 7th. Because I needed a game halfway between FFXIII-2 on the 31st and Tales of the Abyss 3DS on the 14th...

(I am aware that Oblivion's camera viewpoint could be changed! That still didn't stop me from taking it back to the store a day after buying it. I'm really hard to please.)

I do loathe first-person perspective, though, so I will twitch if they do it.

I'm going to have to download the demo for this.

I like the game a lot, but they'd need to add say, the relationship mechanic from Symphonia (Luke/Natalia pairing bias, ahoy!) for me to buy a lower res version of it.
