Open world RPG á la Oblivion if any of you might not know. In third person view, no first person. Comes out on PS3, X360 and PC on 5th October (possibly "end of September" in Europe).
Comparable with Oblivion in size. Total world is 60 square kilometers of which 25 square kilometers is land mass. (Oblivion total world size was around 40 square kilometers, mostly land). You can sail between the islands.
It has an online mode for 8 player PvP and co-op, and one mode with some form of persistency in it where you have guild houses or guild villages.
I love the magic. You can combine lots of spells. And personally I love the dry sound effects lol:
Menus and inventory lists seem a bit cluttered but I guess you will get used to it lol. There's tons of options for customization of your stuff, like adding stats by combining weapons with materials, orbs and crystals.
In this video you get a feel of the controls and combat, the questline with camera angles and dialogue, customization of spells, alchemy and crafting and in the last 2 minutes of the clip there's some nice vistas with beautiful graphics (X360):
Great lighting and shadows in this dungeon (X360):
