This preview at warcry is really encouraging:

This really illustrates the how much fun combat is. Certainly the game isn’t for everyone and there are a few trade-offs made to get this kind of combat. I’m really excited to see how people will receive the back story and universe that has been developed for Tabula Rasa. I think the types of missions and story arcs especially later in the game are really unique.
