Left click to attack; hold down for heavy attack. Right click to block.The compass sits at the top of the UI, showing POIs.
When you join a guild, you gain skill lines. Each class has three skill lines. Paul Sage: "You can make skills behave the way you want it to behave."

Crouch/stealth mechanics and easy weapon swapping demonstrated. Any class can use any armor or any weapon.
Paul Sage: "When you discover new things, you get experience for that."
Easy travel to group in a safe location near your groupmates.
Three skyshards grant you a new ability.
It looked as if you could use a bow and magic at the same time. Weapon swapping really easy.
Game gives the player a heroic feel by fighting multiple enemies at one time.
No fighting over loot because it's instanced to each player.
Nick Konkle plays a Templar. Roles can be switched by switching weapons. "You play the role you want to play," reiterates Paul Sage.
NPCs work together. If one NPC drops blue oil, another might set it on fire. They work together against your party.
