To clear up all the confusion around this game, you guys should all know that it is NOT an epic free-form RPG. This is NOT Arx Fatalis 2, and it is certainly NOT a Morrowind/Oblivion clone.
In a very honest interview with the developers I read recently, they revealed that the game is simply a mission-based FPS game, structured like the Thief games. The missions do not interconnect and there is no branching storyline, but there apparently are many different routes to take through each of the missions.
Having said that, the combat is going to kick ass. Plain and simple. This is going to be the first glorious medieval-fantasy action game in a long time. :)

There haven't been any kickass multiplayer medieval combat/action/swordfighting games in a long time.
Plus these guys made Arx Fatalis 2.

a goblin looking down from the platform: check
player placed behind him: check
force push type power or attack: probably
HL style gimmick on the HL engine: you betcha!

How often does dirt glow so brightly it bleeds into one incandescent off-white lump? I want a game with a set of HDR sliders so I can figure out if it's ever worth it.

HADOKEN!
All joking aside, it's amazing to see the source engine scaling so well. It's too bad my fantasy roleplaying gaming time is booked solid into the next century.
