Age of Conan

Dimmukane:
The combat's a lot more active.  That was my main reason for hating pretty much every other MMO, where it was basically attack target, occasionally use special moves, repeat.  And AFAIK, every quest has spoken dialogue.  As cliche as it might sound, I actually feel like my character is part of the mythos.  Which is probably the greatest thing about this game, is the all the backstory behind it.  And the soundtrack is noticeably influenced by the movie version (a good thing).

Edit: So the whole spoken dialogue thing seems to be limited to story quests once you get out of Tortage.  But what I think I really like the most is that the mostly generic quests (there are a few good ones in there, and I'm only 22) don't really feel all that generic.  I just finished a fetch quest that had me collecting teeth so a guy could make a necklace out of them.

How does the game mechanics work?

I saw a one year old preview, where the moving was the usual wasd with mouse to look around and the buttons 4-9 to use different attacks. Is it the same? and how does magic work? And the inventory/trade menu, is it good?

1-3 are your attacks, 4-9 are ability hotkeys (you can change all this stuff in the controls), later you get two more attack buttons which go to Q and E by default.  I haven't made a caster, but from all accounts I've heard, it's more active than other MMO's, your spells have an actual cone or area of effect that you should be aware of.  As for inventory/trade menu, it's OK, I've seen better and worse, though.

I have an assasin called lesbefriends on battlescar.

I have no idea how to do fancy pants finishing moves so I just hit things with daggers.
