smart weapons fire smart projectiles which can hit targets out of view

This was one of the game mechanics that really turned me off it, the last time I saw a feature video, along with their implementation of the much-hated X-Ray Vision/EagleVision/TombRaiderVision mechanic.

I doubt it - it's a very large, detailed RPG by the looks of it. I'm not sure we even know if there's a 'win' state.

The issue of player skill vs character stats is always a problem for RPGs though - what if I'm role playing a sharp shooter, and I've used skill to design a character that fits that role, but I'm a clumsy oaf in real life? Should I be able to 'instruct' my character to perform a difficult shot, or should I have to jump in and use my real-world stats rather than my characters?

I hope auto aiming bullets happen to be one option,and not the default option. Otherwise it would severely effect the customisability of gameplay styles.

There should be a modifier mechanic that facilitates a significantly increased chance of making the shot... but one that still allows the possibility of failure, because no-one is going to be perfect, unless they're a sidekick of Buckaroo Banzai.
