kingdoms-amalur-reckoning
I'm currently only level 8, but I've noticed that everywhere I go, the enemies seem to be fairly equal in strength. Adding to that the fact that the game was designed by Ken Rolston (of Morrowind and Oblivion fame), and it has me wondering if the enemies are scaling to my level.
Do the enemies in Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning scale to be fairly close/equal to your level?
The 45 minute limit is from after your encounter with the Fateweaver after you leave the tower (the starting dungeon). From there it is 45 minutes of gameplay (menus and dialog stop the clock), and you would seem to be limited to the area around the village of Gorhart for the duration of the demo. Areas not available will have the shimmering barrier there.
The problem is probably that you're trying to change the resolution while your character is loaded, instead of exiting back to the main menu and doing it from there. For some reason, once you're already playing your character, the option to change your resolution disappears.

From what I have read, the enemies do not scale exactly. Each region has a level range for example the first areas are probably like 1-7 or something. If you are in that region and you are over level 7 then the level of the enemies defaults to the highest. Vice verse if you go into an area where the enemies are all red (which will happen, and gives credit to this theory). Then they will default to their lowest level because you aren't close to matching them. I found this on gamefaqs that might also help you understand.
Unfourtunatley I cannot find anything from the game developers themselves to prove this 100% but I believe this is how it works.
However, the simple fact that you can enter regions that have red names (meaning they are too powerful for you) says that enemies can be a higher level which means they don't exactly scale in a 1:1 sense.
