KoA: Reckoning - Previews @ Gamespot and Metro

Two previews for this game can be found at Gamespot and Metro. 

A quote from Gamespot's preview

As well as playing the game, we also got to hear about Reckoning's interesting approach to classes, which it calls Destinies. You start out by creating your character and customising them in detail, but what you don't do is put them into a character class having not played any of the game. Instead, you spend the first hour of the game experimenting with different play styles, and as you level up, the more you can specialise using the skill tree.

A quote from the preview by Metro:

The gist of the plot is neatly tied into the gameplay though, with your main character having been recently brought back from the dead by a new gnomish invention. This allows you to circumvent the ‘destiny’ ordained for all the other characters in the game world and choose – and frequently change – your own as the game progresses.
