This game rocks. Keep in mind that the animations you see here is placeholder. Something much closer to final look will come with Closed Beta 0.9 version next weekendish. I have no doubt that they will get that up to snuff by launch (just look to AoC and see how well it's done with same motor).
What I am more happy with though is that the system is so right when it comes to skill progression, crafting and questing/investigation missions... It would be unfixable at this stage if that were not good. I have high hopes.
