Deus Ex 3 Will Feature a Cover System

The community manager at Eidos Montr al made some interesting revelations about one of the most eagerly awaited Action/RPG – Deus Ex 3. The stealth system - which was a major part of the first Deus Ex – will be more cover based rather the shadow/light way we're accustomed to. Here's what he had to say:
For stealth, that is another major pillar of gameplay and we do have it. The difference is that it's now cover-based rather than "shadow/light-based" as in the past games.
So it'll basically have a cover system, and as previously revealed, the game will also allow the player to regenerate health gradually. The first game had the traditional "heal a part of the body with a health kit" system and I prefer that to the action oriented gradual healing system. The game seemed like it was more tipped towards the action genre than we'd like, but Eidos Montr al's community manager was quick to refute such statements:
Deus Ex 3 is indeed an RPG. It's a hybrid action/RPG just like the first game. There is a skill system where you upgrade your character (Adam) based off experience points you earn and you can do the same thing with weapons. It's a game with a very detailed plot with numerous characters you interact with. The gameplay takes the form of a consequence-driven multi-path, multi-solution approach in a non-linear space.
Let's hope they don't muck up the franchise the way Eidos did with Deus Ex 2.
