So I've been watching the game play movies that have been released and I've noticed there are no skills.  Yes I know this is a real combat engine but are there going to be skills, or will it just be a hack and slash?

A guy in the DX 10 thread gave a link to a video where the guy playing it uses skills.

there will be but you have to pull them off.  you gotta put in the right combo stuff like that.  magic you can link spells together to create powerful ones. im not sure about shooting arrows but im sure there will be somthin for that to.

Ah ok, but its still semi hack and slash.  But I guess if your hack in a certain order you will make a more powerful move. Hmm,  I guess ill just have to try the game to get a real feel for it and see how it is. 

As to the other poster, I think I have seen that video.  Is it one where they only show the bottom half of the characters body?

I think I remember hearing if as a ranger you want to use your specials you would switch "Stances"

In one vid the sniping stance was showcased.

I take it you would click on a stance and you would unleash "auto-attacks" that would follow the feat ability.

Like a barrage of arrows, etc.

As for melee skills, being a feat based game, I take it most skills would be like wider swings, longer swings, damage mods etc.

Maybe a modifier that helps you dish out AE damage?

If ignorance were bliss, the world would be a *much* happier place.

In order to properly swing your sword and connect with your target, you must correctly answer a quick physics equation. For combos, you have to do some quick integral calculus equations. Spells, being for more intelligent characters, requires working out differential equations. All of the above are of course timed. The faster you can do them, the more damage you do. And then there's the relative solving time as compared to your target....

Math skills ftw!
