The trenchcoat is made from bullet-resistant synthetic materials.

But will still transfer some of that kinetic energy into a concussion / blunt trauma, right?
If by that you mean it will act like AoD's DR, then the answer is yes. There are no special damage types (other than projectile, melee, energy).

Is combat largely the same as AoD as well?

The core is the same (different attacks with different pros and cons, different abilities, action points, DR, status effects like crippled, knocked down, staggered, poisoned, etc) but the system is greatly expanded. Focus on ranged, cover, grenades (flash, smoke, poison, brainwave disruptor, etc), gadgets like energy shields and hologram projectors, different damage types (projectile, melee, energy).

So then will the encounters be pre-arranged set pieces as in AoD or more "emergent" as in most games, as in Fallout or Underrail?

Somehow I have trouble imagining AoD's close quarters combat repurposed into a more gadget/tool/ranged oriented play with the same pre-arranged set pieces and emphasis on direct confrontation. I keep thinking that it should have more flexibility for running around during combat, running between spaces, covers, breaking LOS with the enemy as tactics and whatnot.

So many edgy retards who love godfuckingawful 3d graphics.
3d graphics has no place in iso/top down crpg, period.

Older codex know this:

modern codex is full of shit 3d lovers. Period.

Just gonna repeat, that the screens looks amazing for pre-alpha, before any art pass has been done, just raw straight from the progress right now type of screen.

Would love seeing a done screen with all the art passes in a orthographic perspective. Keep it up guys ! You doin great work :)

That ReGen! Boosters! Implants! sign reminds me of the Implants n Stuff store in Space Quest 6. I think it looks great. I saw the art pass pictures on the Iron Tower forum just now, they look even better. I didn't expect the cyberpunk look either, but I guess it makes sense.

screenshots do have a bit of a sterile look to them but imo it's already visible that it will be a significant step up from AoD gfx-wise, so... bodes well I guess?

Yeah, I think people have forgotten what the first Age of Decadence screenshots looked like.

While I kind of like the 2D-esque models more, its hard to argue the game's looks didn't change by leaps and bounds.

Except this looks trillion times better then current gfx.
For one it is 2d not 3d.

3D is fine, just don't make me rotate the damn screen.

And you can actually see shit without fiddling with colour profiles—turns out there are more colours than brown, greyish brown, yellowish brown and dark brown.

:decline:

I’m mostly joking, but it was a problem for me when my eyes begged for mercy after an hour or so.

But only two of them will be RPG and only one of them will be SHINING FORTRESS of INCLINE:obviously:

Starfield will be breeding ground of alien zoofilia romance mods
