I've never play Skyrim, but I am at nearly 35 hours into Kingdoms of Amalur and I don't think I've completed a quarter of the game yet. QQ
Thankfully they finally, finally fixed that bug that didn't allow you to run. I managed to pick it up after that and haven't had a problem with it since. I would recommend picking it up used for your XBox360 or through Steam if you want an excellent action RPG.
