Cool... my specs aren't too far off from that, I think (Athlon 64 3800+, 2 Gigs RAM, 8800 GTS). I upgraded to that GPU recently, and it's doing a good job keeping my 2-year old rig going for a while.

The combat seems to resemble Jade Empire a lot, meaning that timing and the choice of correct styles is essential in successful fighting. But this also hints at a lack of depth in combat.
Yeah, I read about the combat style in one of the previews somewhere, and it seems like it's about timing when to throw a "combo" move that takes time to complete, along with choosing the right tactic and character build. Actually I like that setup better than a twitch fighter where you need good reflexes. But then I'm a geezer gamer.

Anyway I just hope that the story, setting and atmosphere will compensate for it like it did in Jade Empire. Overall the game seems like a Jade Empire set in a rather dark medieval fantasy world, but I'll have to play some more to get a true feel for the game.
That's what I think I'd enjoy... the vampire hunter-ish theme in a medieval setting, with some storyline pathing based on player's moral choices. Seems like a nice theme for a RPG, if it doesn't turn out to be a bug farm.
