The art style and flow of combat both remind me of Fable 3 (which isn't a bad thing), but I like that this has a looting and crafting system.

So many of these games coming out this year, and they're all virtually identical.

I second that! It looks like to me what Fable 2 should of been. Fable 1 was such a gem.

Fucking finally a game with a mage class that isn't just 90% "stand far away and throw magic" and the warrior guy is actually agile and fast, not just a plodding meat shield with armor.

I am practically sold on this game already.  If the story is decent and monsters/areas nicely varied it could be amazing.

Could be fun. I hope they make the HUD more appealing though.

Customization would be a better name for this game.

Combat looks good, animations are pretty great, graphics overall are absolutely fucking terrible. Muddy, jaggy all that shit. It all seems kind of bland as well, I don't know. Nothing about the art or the look of anything that grips me.

I don't want to sell this game short because I'm a sucker for RPGs and I don't know enough about it yet, but the whole time I was watching it I was thinking "this is mmo combat."

I really hope they use Schillings as the currency for this game.

Hm, it really does look God of War-esque. The melee weapons seem a bit floaty and slow, but the magic and chakras are quick. The speed of Dragon Age 2's melee combat would do nicely in this sort of game.
