I saw some screen shots what looked to be first person archery aka like Oblvion. I am a big fan of the stealth route in Oblvion. I hear good things about this game having decent archery set. What have you folks heard?
Archery should be interesting (Bows can do AoE/Sniping and crossbows can do major knockback). However, there isn't going to be a whole lot of stealth in AoC - especially not ala WoW. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
There is a video from E3 floating around where they show a little of each type of combat. The melee and ranged combat look a lot like oblivion, but more in depth, at least on the melee side. I can't remember where i downloaded this video from.. I'm sure i found the link here though.. I'm sure someone can has it handy
yeah the archery looks pretty sweet, but as far as rogues and thives go i'm not sure how in depth it will be, my idea has always been to be able to sneak in other ppls building and steal stuff like in oblivion, pickpocket, and somehow be less visible to others if your skill is high. On other archery suggestion that i would find sweet would be someone being able to mount yourself in a tree, like climb up and shoot from it, stuff like that, picking off other players from atop a branch as they walk on the path underneath. idk sounds kewl tho.

I've heard that we gonna see alot of 1337 stealth kiddies jumping around.
It's like flies and crap, together comes what belongs together.
