Maybe they meant to say that you will have more control over who your character is, some people are even saying that they're gonna put in race options (I dont believe they will, but still worth mentioning) so maybe they meant you wouldnt be a soldier in a traditional sense, a soldier in service to some sort of military, I wouldnt exactly call a merc a soldier, so maybe it will be something like that, dont worry, walking away from the 3rd RPG style would be the biggest mistake they could ever make, they're not THAT stupid
