At the risk of sounding like a grafix whore, while the overland travel is charming to look at, tactical battles look even worse than AOD. Hope the actual combat mechanics will make up for it.

You could just try the original RoA game I am sure combat well pretty much be a carbon copy; personally, I enjoyed the combat in the series so I don't think there will be too much to be offended by lest the combat animations run slower or something equally crappy.

The combat animations were quite frankly slow enough in the original games
I hope not!

what?
hey you know italian so why don't you read some of this russian
seriously though I know a few german phrases but to play an RPG in german I'd need a fucking german lexicon or some shit and fuck that.
actually it would feel kinda oldschool like deciphering some weird fucking language to understand it but man the games of today have made my attention span destructive. it's like "this game fun?" after 5 mins and if no, I throw it away like it's moldy bread. so imagine trying to understand some german "uuuh gesprach..uhhh.. wha... uh... gesprack--" fuck that man I'd lose interest faster than microsoft stockholders

Swedish and German are not that similar. It is not like Spanish and Portuguese where people can actually sort of understand each other.

I can understand a bit of spoken spanish and guess some more written spanish from my knowledge of italian, but I have much more problems with swedish even though I'm a native german speaker...

How was the exploration in the old game? Is this going to be a sandbox game?

The old game (and the new one as well, I guess) featured an overland map (2D) for travelling between towns (3D).
Travelling was done by following roads or embarking on a ship, so you were restricted to (fixed) roads and shipping routes, though there usually existed several ways to reach most towns.
Sometimes the party would discover small detours that would lead to special destinations, like a small dungeon or such and it was possible to get random encounters along certain routes.
The game is not really a sandbox game, although you had a some freedom in how you approached the main quest - you got a few clues about people you were supposed to visit, which then would give you more clues. Basically a scavenger hunt.
Which people you visited first was up to you, however, and there was always the possibility to just travel around a bit and explore.
