Jin in full samurai armor won't be able to climb buildings (you can still jump, don't worry) or swim/dive, and would be fit more for a defensive, all out attack build.

You will be free to switch between samurai and ghost kits.

Samurai skill tree is fully unlocked from the start, while ghost requires you to complete tasks in order to unlock a specific branch, such as working with an alchemist in order to learn poison abilities, or to create potions with strong effects.

Samurai focusing more on sword play, archery, and defense, while ghost focuses more on stealth, alchemy, and agility.

2 major skill trees with many branches which are way of the samurai, and way of the ghost.

Don't expect Jin to be able to right out of the gate know how to throw shuriken, use kunai, use alchemy (poisons, create potions, and explosives), use grappling hooks to get on top of rooftops, quickly, etc.

There are NPCS who can help train you in the ways of the Ghost, as for a Samurai, it would be a completely different form, and dishonorable way, of combat.

The game has two central towns (think Witcher 3), and many smaller outposts / villages.

Villages can be retaken by Mongols if you do not complete the quest line. Each outpost has a story behind it and a quest line, not just 'take out these soldiers and you retake the village'.

Not sure how often these civilian interactions occur. This all helps to make the world feel alive and immersive.

Samurai were the most respectable people in Japan, people bow to Jin as he passes by on foot or horseback, but samurai were also feared some women and children will attempt to hide or flee at the sight of Jin, while others will attempt to attack in order to prove themselves, or take some of the valuable gear a samurai would typically carry.
