Rise of the Argonauts E3 Preview

The editors at Joystiq have cranked out a short preview of Liquid Entertainment's Rise of the Argonauts, after checking out the action RPG firsthand at this year's E3.
Interestingly, Jason's abilities and his leveling revolve around his standing with the Greek gods, none of whom are "old men in togas," assures Price. Performing well in battles will gain their favor and new skills, as will completing quests and responding in certain ways during conversation. Equipment and weapons are gained from defeated foes, though you shouldn't expect to pick up thousands of slightly different swords and shields. Gaining a new weapon is an important event in the overall journey, each one visible and fitting on Jason's attire. Price views equipment as a visual documentation of Jason's quest, a more coherent approach compared to the typical RPG's mix-and-matching. "You end up looking more like a clown than a hero."
