did he have pets in the books? no...

NO! to FPP

yeah That was a disappointment and now with Disney in charge of things I wonder if we will ever see a new Beattlefront game.

just judging by what info on combat has been released I think they were just trying to fine tune the combat and maybe speed it up.
they are trying to move anyway from the constant rolling that was required in TW2 by giving him a better way to side step his opponents I didn't care for the way parry counter attack system worked it was kinda slow and the timing was to easy most of the time. I did read something on game informer about some AOE spells that sounds like it might be overpowered. I don't want to see Gearalt become a mage hes a witcher they are meant to use swords in the books. I hope they sort of keep it that way, mage builds only being a hybrid option.

Its depends on how well the steam box sells when it comes out.
seeing how it will come with Linux and it will be up to you weather you want to install a Microsoft OS. Steam box will be set up with steam big picture mode, basically making it almost the same as a console, it will come with controllers to I think.
I hope they have success with it the more people on PC or steam box the better.
