I Have been thinking of a few subjects as of late and was wondering if there are any definitive answers for them.

Levels-

Are there going to be player levels. Such as your individual skills can level up as they are used, but will that reflect in an over all player Level or combat level.
If there are Levels will you see the levels of other players or mobs/NPC.
If mobs and NPCs have levels how will they be dispersed around the world. Will the levels of the mobs be random, meaning you can end up with high level mobs right outside a town on day one of the game or have miles of nothing but level one mobs.
Will some animals or mobs have a max Level. Such as small game like squirrels. Is some poor low level hunter going to run into some level 100 squirrel that going to incapacitate him.

Living world-

Will every NPC, be tracked by the system as to what actions they do and gain Exp. Will a NPC blacksmith in my town grow from apprentice blacksmith to a Artisan level or higher.
Will local mobs gain in strength over time if they are not delt with.

Combat-

Will you see health bars or status bars of the people and or creatures that you are in combat with.
Will hit point increase or decrease based on some Stat. Will stronger people have more hit points, or a human is a human and humans have 100 hit points. There is also humans at 15 have 80 hit points at 20-55 have 100 hit points and you lose 3 hit points per year after 55.
Will targeting vital locations apply more damage.

There are no levels.

I don't know if NPC skills will progress. Each will be uniquely tracked by the game engine, so it is possible for that to happen.

Mobs will not have levels, but might progress through life cycles the same as NPCs. See the Game Guide for more background.

There will be attributes that control something like hit points, but I have not heard exactly what the relationships are.

I don't know anything yet about targeting specific body parts in combat.

There will be combat advantages and disadvantages based on different values for attributes and skills. I don't think the exact mechanics have been published yet.

Please read the Game Guide, if you have not already done so. It may not answer with the detailed specifics you want, but will give you a general idea of what the game is trying to be.
