For the PC version, can anyone tell me if it can be played in windowed fullscreen with no-borders?

Why am I not surprised.

I was saying it was a good game before the PR stuff blew up /hipsterglassesoff
How can it be that if you buy the game on steam, no monies goes to EA? I don't understand this, they gave financial support to the devs whilst the game was being made how is it that they don't get any back from the sales on steam?
Am I missing something?

Preordered on Steam and waiting. I'm going pure rogue but might respec later and change it to Rogue/Mage later on in the game.
You give money to Valve instead!
Fighting with shadows?
Don't see any reason that pure rogue (or pure of any of the classes for that matter) won't be completely viable. The Destiny bonus for the pure classes are very substantial and final tier talents are strong as well. Hybrids are popular as much for thematic purposes as they are raw power.
Made their own deal and self-published on steam because of the requests from the community.

This is an option in the demo, so I'd expect that the full game supports it.

Afaik, the only preorder items on Steam are the TF2 hats.

I got that from the OP! What about the support EA gave them during production?
But you hate EA because they are EA! Don't give your money to EA!

I assume EA expects a decent return on investment via Origin and retail. I'm buying the PC version at retail, because I'm an old fuddy-duddy that enjoys owning discs.

This one goes out to Gehrig38. Day one sold. My brother introduced me to this title and I had no idea about it since I had nearly given up on Western RPG's since the combat had never been able to keep me going. Due to this I just stopped following that corner of the industry. Then out of nowhere he shows up and tells me about your studio, which as an animator about to graduate more than perked my interest given the pedigree and philosophy of the company.
Then he mentioned that it was a Western RPG dedicated to changing some staples and starting new traditions. Combat with combos, dumping XP into multiple areas to try other skills not being punished, ability to change classes, and the insane length. I tried the demo and was hooked. I then proceeded to play through that demo 4 more times, and I'm looking at finishing it a 6th time between classes.
You not only sold me on a game, but on a studio that has the integrity to do all they can to fulfill their promises to the fans and openly discuss any shortcomings they feel their product suffered in the delivery of such promises given your own speech on the demo. Expect me to try to find a way to claw my way into that studio of yours someday. Even if I don't make the cut I just wanted to say thanks for putting this much into your product, and for working hard to deliver to us the kind of RPG we've always hoped for in terms of gameplay and content.
The industry is lucky to have gained your studio.

The only reason I would want to avoid the EA versions is to avoid the EA login stuff.

It's not often I buy games day 1 these days. With prices on games dropping to $40 and $30 in a matter of a few months. It seems like a waste of money to buy games near release.
Yet here I am, anxiously awaiting for this game on release date. In part to show support for an up and coming studio that's been really involved with the community. Also to do my part that games like this keep getting made.
Day 1 can't come soon enough!

My guess is that you still have to log into Origin when you start up the game in Steam. That's just a guess, though.

I'm feeling the Champion as well. I like the idea of a warrior who can blink around everywhere.Woo! took theCrusader, since Im going to a Champ build
Very awesome demo, can't wait for the full game!
Pretty much, plus the damage you soak you get back as mana, Greatswords+Chakrams. Pretty much my favorite combo in the demo
Here's my build
http://amalurfoundry.com/calculator...000000000000000000&30061605564503105030500000
Its basically, quake or chain lightning to stun, mark of flame with the 60% bonus damage=win, plus I don't need harpoon since I have that in elemental rage

That's good to hear, I can't stand when modern games don't do this, I'm pretty much glued to mIRC for work and friends, vent and depending on the type of game I use the web vigorously too, so playing in a window is pretty much a requirement, but when those boarders show it just ruins my immersion : (

I traveled the mighty Amazon in search of the lost Kingdom of Amalur. I strange people said the would guide me the final distance but I must offer a tribute of 50 beads and wait until the moon aligned properly on the 7th. I did not have beads but they seemed equally satisfied with my american currency. For now I wait...

Does anyone know if I pre-order from GameStop, will I get the code today, or when I pick up the game?

I hear it takes at least a week before you're no longer contagious. Don't want to take any chances.

Usually it's in the box or on your receipt when you pick up the game.

Clearly the problem with this idea is that there aren't enough of these.

Say what you want about EA but they funded half the development and all the marketing... millions and millions of dollars spent that NO other publisher was willing to do, according to Curt's big post in the demo thread. I found this statement in your OP to be childish, vindictive, and ill-informed.
Well we could start putting ponies or dino heads on them. lol
Maybe it could be phrased in a more kindly manner, but that line in the OT is directly focused on the target audience - i.e. GAF. There is a strong undercurrent of hatred against EA and Origin around here, if you missed the online pass thread. Reaper's just trying to head off those complaints at the pass so more people buy this awesome game.

Well if that's the case, I'll just get it where ever I can get the best deal but I will be waiting a little while before I check it out, either way.

You know, I think I'd actually like this game if it were not designed so that they can just paste the world into their MMO title.
I want to see some screenshots of epic bosses you get to fight, hopefully all with interesting mechanics.
