It's sounding less and less like an RPG and more along the lines of a cinematic third-person shooter... which is really not what I was looking forward to, maybe others will be happy to hear that. I can't imagine why RPG elements would be removed when it seems every other game goes out of its way now to incorporate some kind of RPG-like equipment/experience system. I really hope there's some depth with improved side-quests and stuff.
The drops I can do without. They were just annoying to manage, but I loved the treasure hunting for cache's and the best stuff came from them. My worry is that they boil down the RPG elements to Fable 2 levels. Thats game was a great, but somewhat shallow for me.
