I came across this project from GPG, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaspoweredgames/wildman-an-evolutionary-action-rpg/ and decided to research it a bit more, below are the findings!

Merits & why its Innovative:
I'm yet to see such deep character progression that has been this open-ended, since character progression in most games controlled by a limited tech tree. Wildman on the other hand isn't constrained by a tech tree. Each persons' build - Tech, Weapons and Items are unique and no two players might have the same stats.
Concept-Art:
^ This concept-art has gameplay scenarios and attacks near the bottom (check the hi-res version) - The Bear Slam & T-Rex Tail smash!
^ Shows Polymorphs & Items.

The RTS part of it, "Warzones" is supposed to seamlessly integrate into the game play (Exploration, Dungeon crawling, etc) (below)
Nevertheless, It's got Dinosaurs, Sabretooths, Polymorphs, Mounts & Wildwomen!
Project Mercury & Mod-Tools:
They also demoed their Cloud-based Modding Tool & Web platform, "Project Mercury" which can manipulate 3D in-game objects, contribute to level design, custom maps, etc. (see below) which seems really interesting, cause we don't need to download the tools and get frustrated while setting them up before you even start to work with the tools. This IMO could democratize Modding a fair bit!
