For instance, shooting the bow in first person will require some 'aim' on your part, you can't just shoot an enemy from far away locked and always hit.
So in answer to your question about the combat, its more hack n' slash, combo style attacks, z targeting akin to Zelda.

Ravensword 2 doesn't have skill trees, it has talents which are in a sense like perks that can be leveled up, for magic, combat, as well as physical attributes.

Ravensword 2's magic is derived from a rune system, the same as the original Ravensword (except that we have added a few new runes with interesting powers)

Yes we have real-time shadows on anything iPad 2 or 4s and up.

Yes we support Retina.

We have as many enemies as Aralon, and the world is probably about the same size as Aralon, possibly larger (we're not entirely finished yet)

We will have voice acting on the main quest line NPC's.

Voice acting, realtime shadows and retina

Thanks for answering my questions.

Will we be able to have helpers/pets/henchmen to help us in combat?

Will there be random books like in skyrim that one can actually read?? (Not that I would actually read any of them unless they are in some way important)

I read them. Lore is always very important in RPGs.

I can't help but ask again.... Will there be a faction system? That's what made skyrim so amazing; the ability to fight for certain kingdoms, join certain guilds, fight certain races. And most important of all, can you choose which factions you fight for? And which you fight against?

I would look at Josh's answers above. To repeat: Ravensword 2 is not a Skyrim clone. Get that idea out of your head and you will not be disappointed.
