- You will learn/gain magic powers through quests.
- Spells can be learned at the shrines of the gods.
- You will always need one hand free, when casting a spell. Or in other words you can hold a sword in one hand and cast a spell with the other. You can't cast spells while holding a shield.
- There will be magic wands and staffs.
- Mages will be able to slow time, but they will become slower too.
- There will be around 60-70 perks, different skills, to learn.
- One screenshots shows a mage getting wings. Whether it allows you to fly or is some kind of transformation spell isn't known. The character is standing in front of a troll and a red beam of light goes up in the air, while the character gets wings similar to those of a dragon.
- One perk improves the effectiveness of your armor.
- The sixth, until now unknown, faction will be the druids (previously only known as some forest race). The other factions are: Orcs, Rebels still loyal to the king, Assassins, Nomads and the barbarian Orc Hunters.
- Why the Assassins are working together with the orcs is unknown.
- There will be a tutorial to teach you the basics.
- You will be able to hire an old friend or mercenary AND you're able to equip him with weapons, armor, etc.
- The slaves in the released movies are only wearing swords because the unarmed combat isn't implemented yet.
- Voice recordings are in progress at the moment.
- And last but not least the game is about 85% done.
Sounds good to me, although I wonder if they'll finish the other 15% by September.
