AVault has posted a new hands-on preview of Sea Dogs, the upcoming "RPG at sea" from developers Akella and publishers Bethesda Softworks. The preview is based on their impressions with a build of the full game, and contains details on Akella's internally developed 3D engine and overall gameplay, which harkens back to the classic Pirates! game by Sid Meier while adding RPG aspects and original elements of its own.
