Sure, all these questions have been answered in multiple interviews anyway :)
1) To some extent. Player will start as Harkyn, a hero with his own unique story and face, but the player will be able to determine the development of this character.
2) No. You can take a look at the screenshots we published before E3, on our facebook page.
3) The game will not be a sandbox. We want to give players quite a bit of room for exploration, but there won't be 20-minute walks between locations just to get to the interesting part :)
Thank you for your kind words about the quality of the trailer. Regarding your second sentence, though - I can assure you that the trailer shows off quite a number of both gameplay and story elements.
We never tried to hide our inspirations, like Warhammer Fantasy. - @Adam4Adam12
Thank you. To answer your question - we are working on gameplay much harder than we worked on the trailer. You'll be the judges of what lives up to what :)
Guys, we released the trailer to give you some overview of how the game's world will feel and we are currently working on a gameplay preview (and to show off the cool CG, of course :P). We'd love to prove to you all that Lords of the Fallen is far from being just an eye-candy, but we need your help for that. We obviously can't show you everything yet, but we definetely wanna know what you'd like us to focus on in the gameplay reveal!
