They are including a couple new races in the game, they eliminated attacks of opportunity, no half skills or cross-class skills to work with, all classes gain a defense bonus, armor provides damage reduction, and they are keeping the mana points for spells, recast times, bardic songs, weapon delay and most races (Vah Shir are gone).  I think they are also letting people select their starting feats based on race and class, providing more options.  Personally, this game sounds really amazing.  The way they are doing classes, beginning with just four and THEN branching off into other classes is really cool.</blockquote>
