Rajaat the Warbringer Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Based on just the race/class combos, and assuming there are no restricted combinations... I think I'm going to go for an Orlan Cipher. "It is an extraordinary act of courage to come to know a stranger's pain. To even consider such a thing demands a profound dispensation, a willingness to wear someone else's chains, to taste their suffering, to see with one's own eyes the hue cast on all things -- the terrible stain that is despair." -Tulas Shorn "Toll the Hounds" by Steven Erikson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I haven't read up on the races too closely, but in terms of starting class I'll likely pick one that's geared toward sword/shield type fighter character my first time through. I don't know why, but I always select this type of character as my first character. After that I'll try out the thief-type and magic-type characters, but not on my first run. *shrugs* I do like the sound of the cipher character, but that will probably be on my second or third play through.

el pinko grande Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Ideally an elf ranger. The problem is, I don't like rangers when they're exclusively a ranged class. I like my rangers to be fast melee skirmishers. If being a ranger means you have to use a bow, I'll end up going rogue instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitan Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) I think I will... hm... probably I will build 50 chars and play the first parts over and over again until I play further with one. most likely a female paladin... yo Edited October 18, 2012 by Kitan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shevek Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Rogue most likely. Game already has several warrior npcs and no rogues announced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga C Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Truth be told, I have no idea at this point as there's next to nothing specific known about the various races, classes, and combinations thereof. I'll just have to wait and see, but I usually (~ 2/3 of the time) start off playing a human druid. http://cbrrescue.org/ Go afield with a good attitude, with respect for the wildlife you hunt and for the forests and fields in which you walk.

Kai Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Gonna go with a ranger, been my favourite class in most games. Just hope they won't as socially challenged as in the NWN games. As for race I wanna find out more about them before I decide, but probably not a human or elf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swells Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 No point in planning, I'll needlessly swap between 5 character possibilities in my head before deciding to reread the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallenger Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) As soon as I heard that they were making Paladins of the nonreligious sort, I absolutely freaked. These are by far my favorite types of characters to play if they're implimented right (harsh world-view against non-abiding world).

Calmar Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'll start as a human fighter. Once I know the game and the cultures of the world, I'll try other peoples and classes.

casa Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Chanter!!! Likely elven... That. Or something rogue-like or at best a mix of both. Love bards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eryss Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Until we get more info, I'll probably going to end up leaning towards starting a Godlike Rogue first. It depends on how the godlike actually look, I could go human or orlan. I'll also give heavy consideration to being a cipher or a chanter. It'll probably take me an hour or two staring at the character creator before I decide what race/class combo speaks to me most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mist Devil Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Priest or paladin, it'll depends of the spells and abilities. I'll probably enjoy learning more about the whole spirits/souls/prayer system. « Celui qui est consumé par la flamme de la justice ne craint ni le ciel, ni l’enfer ; il n’est qu’une arme attendant le jour de sa mort ».

Starwars Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Definitely a Rogue, that's almost always my most preferred style of play I think. Skilled, hopefully good at avoiding combat where you can. Feel like a sneaky bad-ass. All that good stuff. Definitely also interested in playing a Priest, though this will really depend on how religion is handled in the game. Since the god are already described as "meddling" and with an agenda, I hope there is still ample room for playing a highly religious Priest that is on top of the game and not just simply "fanatic who is duped by the gods".

SesameTree Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I always go for some spellcaster at the first run. Probably wizard, but i'll definetly decide in character creation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
