The psych questions that effect how the enemies look/character appearance and interactions is an awesome concept. How it will be utilized is almost certainly going to fall short of even modest expectations.
The lack of combat to me is sucky. Not because I want a rambo type character. Rather, as it has been mentioned to death on other forums, if you were in danger and had any option other than fleeing you'd take it. Even if it meant picking up a rock and beaning the damn thing as you are fleeing. Or breaking into a sporting goods store (assuming its not incased in ice) and getting a knife or a club etc. Ice effects would look much better in HD, but I haven't really seen a good vid of them yet so it looks bad to me for now.
