First off, let me introduce myself. I am the administrator over at The Flagship Follower, a Flagship Studios fansite. I have been watching Flagship's happenings for the last year, but for the most part, I know what you know. Nothing exceedingly exclusive has been given to fansites so far.
I'm thinking of something like Deus Ex here. I'm not sure if you've ever played it, but accuracy is based on skills in each weapon. I do agree though, that if I'm shooting at something, and I aim dead on, I don't want to be screwed over by a random dice roll.
I do recall the article saying that they plan on adding a 3rd person perspective for melee combat. They have not yet decided if they want to allow the player to switch in and out of 1st and 3rd person views at will. There will also be a way to look at your character with all his sweet gear on.
Yeah, I was contacted by some higher-ups about copyright issues. I really wish it was easier to give the info to everyone that doesn't have PC Gamer. I did however translate all the goodies from the article onto my fansite, the address of which is posted by karka.
Sorry if I missed anyone's posts, hope to provide you more information in the coming weeks. Bill Roper said that PC Gamer is only the beginning of the information boom.
