Slide To Play gives us the following excerpt:
While exploring, the main thing you do is something familiar to frequent RPG players: hacking and slashing. Games like Oblivion utilized this type of combat, and it seems as though Ravensword is following suit. However, Ravensword has a more limited range of weaponry, just swords and bows, with (magic items that work independently and in combination).
There are also a few ways that Ravensword isn't following in the same tracks as major RPGs, such as character customization and moral decisions. Apparently, Ravensword will not offer character creation, but will instead start you out as an unknown personality who needs to discover who you are and why you're there.
And then a snip from Touch Arcade:
Ravensword is said to have an open environment with a main quest line that will take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours to complete, along with a hefty amount of side quests to also keep you occupied. What I'll be interested in seeing is how extensive the side quests in Ravensword are, because I had much more fun just fooling around in the open game world of Oblivion than playing the comparatively short main quest line.
