By God, I've been a PC gamer for over 14 years now and I considered myself a fairly... maybe not hardcore, but a core gamer. You guys just proved me wrong. I'm just a filthy casual, not any more passionate than a kid down the street that plays Angry Birds on his phone. At least compared to some of you.
Now, not to be completely off topic: it's a multiplatform game that is PC at heart. What does it mean? It means it doesn't take as much shotcuts and avoids making compromises as long as they aren't completely necessary. That's how I see it, at least.
Btw. I hope they give you the option to keep this style of inventory. I play my third-person games with a pad, thank you very much.
