What do you plan to use as your starting character?

[Eryn Shades]

As always Elf Mage, even if this is very mainstream i always liked this weaklings that rain havoc in the end

[Lysen]

Elven Barbarian who loves to talk about philosophy, writes poetry and thinks that big cities suck. He also can pick locks and knows a bit about crafting.

[UncleBourbon]

Thinking a bit more about this, I'd really like it if they had a backstory sort of thing. Background traits were a nice touch in Storm of Zehir, and the quiz for morrowind class selection was pretty cool too. Some mix of that - maybe just a text adventure scenario that gives you certain bonuses/penalties with maybe a couple of story hooks later on would add a good bit for me, I think.

[Kaldurenik]

Some kind of caster (magic user)... No idea about race yet.

[Pope]

Based upon the lore we got, I'm definitely going with a "defy the gods and unravel the truth no matter the consequences" kind of character.

[Lulla-Isra]

Godlike Cipher as of now, it'll be interesting to see what they look like. But I tend to come up with at least five different concepts before a game comes out, and then use none of them and spend another few hours on the creation screen.

I personally find the God-Like races boring. I'll most likely be playing an Aumaua, originally I thought for certain I'd be playing a Cipher, but starting NwN 2 back over, I don't think that'll be the case. I enjoy sneaking, lock picking, placing traps, and other stealthy things way too much. So, i'll most likely end up playing a rogue. I figure the Cipher will most likely be an available companion, so i'll be able to check the class out that way.

[HumanFlesh+5]

Human Paladin. Perhaps also Aumaua chanter, depending on the final design of the Aumaua race.

[Fluffboll]

Depends, if persuation/speech/diplomacy type skills are class-locked I will go with the class that has access to those skills (likely to be rogue... it is always rogue). If those skills are open to all classes I will go for a cleric with the race that makes the most sense.

[Fluffboll]

I want to play a bard and barbarian multiclass, the bardbarian. (Well, I guess in this game it will be a chanter and barbarian multiclass, but that doesn't sound as good.)

 

In all actuality, I will probably play either a wizard or a rogue.

 

A barbarian-Chanter multiclass? A Barb-er then?

[Krios]

I am thinking a mage class. How cool it is to summon up a handful of vipers to nip at the ankles of your foes. Second choice will likely be a fighter class type, for better survivability.

[Parallax]

Human rogue.

 

Regardless of game, I almost always play it through as a rogue first. The play style appeals to me though I will admit the competition from the Cipher and Chanter are fairly fierce, and they came very close to being selected.

[K1113R]

Wizard. I love the 'Burning Arcane Artillery Barrage Cannon of Death' playstyle. However, if it's not going to be so great in P:E, I will probably make a fighter

 

For the race, It's definitely going to be human. I rarely play non-humans on my first playthroughs of RPGs.

[ruskyandrei]

Cipher probably. Now just to find myself an epic trench coat and name him Neo.

[yog-sothot]

I don't know yet... Probably a fighting class, or maybe a thief

 

But no matter what, I know I'll play a nice guy. I just can't play bad guys ! ^_^

[Adhin]

I haven't actually seen any detailed information on 'all the races' but barbarian will probably be my first. If i get the ability to mix classes it'll be Barbarian/Cipher. Beyond that I'll make a druid, try to make a necromancer. That's... basically the 3 main things I enjoy right there. If I can make the mage, priest or cipher into a demonic oriented like warlock that will also happen at some point.

[NerdBoner]

I personally find the God-Like races boring.

 

hey, can you post a let's Play video so the rest of us can see how boring it is?

[ValarMorghulis]

rogue/assassin type first than probably Cipher

[Sugarjaye]

Female Rogue - as always :D

[Monte Carlo]

A bard-barbarian is a Skald.

 

A proper warrior-poet class would be awesome.

[AGX-17]

If not all races or classes have been revealed/set in stone what's the point of making such a declaration? I could just say I'll be a cyborg asteroid farmer at this point.

 

My preference is for roguish classes, at any rate.

Is either of those a race?

[Nonek]

Monk sworn to vows of poverty, silence and non violence. Don't know about race/species, anything not elf really.

Oh come on, I've already played that card more than once in the monk thread. Not that it's an invalid position, as it is one I share, but we exhausted that argument in the aforementioned.... Monk Thread.

I would rather have skalds, or a general warrior-poet class, than paladins or monks in this game.

 

A barbarian-Chanter multiclass? A Barb-er then?

Yes. The character will be able to give an enemy a bad haircut. Thus penalizing charisma and the associated skills.

[Arundor]

Possibly a monk. We don't know yet how similar PE monks will be to their D&D counterparts, but if they can excel at unarmed and unarmored combat then it is the class I'm most excited about and would play it first. Otherwise, I'd go for a cipher.

 

I intent to try all the races eventually, but I think I'll just start with human.
