Howdy, With the massive stat rejiggering that's gone on since launch, I feel like all of my knowledge about the game is completely useless nowadays in the post-expansion world of 2.0. I'd very much like to start the game over with a conversation- and/or dialogue-optimized build. Class doesn't matter (but a class with unique dialogue options or a class that isn't represented by an in-game companion would be neat), race doesn't matter. I can roleplay either of those once the build is set. I mostly just don't want my main character to be absolutely and utterly useless in combat. I'll probably play on Normal or Hard because I do enjoy the tactical element of the game, and I'd like it if my main character contributed to that somehow, even if it was just debuffs/cc/etc. So, basically: Which class/race combo is the best to go for, if I am very adamant about having 18 Resolve, 18 Perception, and 18 Intelligence? :-D
