Apart from solving quests and slashing your way through swarms of goblins, orcs, gargoyles, thieves, assassins, and other baddies, the game will have you concentrating on using the most out of your character's capabilities. Beefing up armor and weapons is not the only thing you get to do. There's also an intuitively designed combat system at work, involving special moves, combos, and so on. My cute Vampiress had an entire myriad of impressive attacks, in addition to the ability to change into a super-Vampire warrior for a certain amount of time. Normally, her blows are deadlier at night… We won't waste any time on describing other characters, but suffice it to say, they all have a set of unique abilities to use in combat. Another appropriate moment in combat is the addition of horseback riding. Characters can purchase various breeds of horses which in turn helps them get around a lot quicker and gives them leverage during combat (provided they advanced the right skill).
