Fighter/Rogue = Rogue/Fighter under the revised multi-classing system. I suppose you could call the class a bushswackler...

Plant pot helms for Orlan druids...

The association between pointy hats and ancient wizardry is a dubious one, possibly associated with antisemitism. Best to leave that alone, I think.

From an earlier post: To me it sounds like a Wizard can effectively cast as though she had two grimoires in hand; one set of spells is intrinsic and the other extrinsic, and she's using the grimoire in her slot as her channel. This approach does make any grimoires you find potentially much more valuable than they were in PoE1. It would be cool if certain special grimoires had a unique talent that modified its spells.

Pretty sure you remember that wrong. You didn't even get named characters in the Beta, they were just generic characters like BB Fighter. But yeah when I look at this guy, and you ask me, "Is this a fighter, or a rogue?" Well... don't be shocked if my answer isn't rogue. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something. I see that and I think: privateer. He's wearing what? Leather armor. You mean mercenary? He doesn't look piratey in any way, also, whips never made it ingame. No, technically a privateer is not the same as a pirate. It's a type of irregular combatant recruited to fight on behalf of a nation via the use of letters of marque. Does this guy look like a pirate?

Giant conch?

Mmm... Galileo? Telescope?

I needed that this morning,,,

It's probably the hair style. Renaissance hair styles on women are typically more elaborate; hers is modern and functional. But it's a different culture and she's an elf, so historical rules don't really apply. I think it's more the clothes and the glasses. It gives a Victorias vibe, as someone else mentioned. Glasses were available during the Renaissance.

That's correct. Eder can be a fighter or a rogue (which still makes no sense to me). Ydwin can be a cipher or a rogue. Well a fighter-rogue is a "swashbuckler", which to me isn't a bad fit to Edér's persona. But stats-wise, he seems a less than optimal build for that role. I guess he's a swashtanker...

Or 'helmskith'? Nah, it would be too confusing.

Oh sure, kill off the only Dwarven companion. I don't suppose Konstanten is dwarven? His beard seems a bit on the puny side though.

Ok i hate WiLdRhYmErS. please fix ranger name. Just wanted to add to the general hate for this name. We will see. Barbarian/Cipher => Headbanger

I'd heard a rumor that the dwarven ladies' beards are located further south. Playing a half-naked barbarian female dwarf could get a little hairy I suppose.

The Respec should be a giant sea snail that swallows you whole, sucks out most of your soul energy, then poops you out onto a beach somewhere with all new stats. Maybe you hear rumors about it in a Neketaka dive, just prior to the barf animations kicking in.

Where do I apply?

Well somebody's got a niche they need to scratch. As that famous philosopher Nietzsche would say, "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you." Game on.

The Tyranny promotions seemed to focus on your character "playing evil", which for me was a turn off. I might play the game some day just to see, but the initial impression prior to release wasn't a positive one.
