Ideally, I'd like a whole party of frail nerds. In the IE games I liked to go with 4-5 mages at a time. And you could do so because mages were kinda OP. Now try going 4-5 bards. that would be quite a feat.

Sylvius the Mad 271 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 And you could do so because mages were kinda OP. Only at mid-high levels. At low levels, a 5 mage party was lunacy. And I've always preferred low-level gameplay. I really enjoy playing AD&D mages at level 2. It's a shame no one else seems to.

And I've always preferred low-level gameplay. I really enjoy playing AD&D mages at level 2. It's a shame no one else seems to. a lone adventuring wizard is pretty questionable at such low levels to begin with (from an RP perspective) simply because he doesn't know anything, let alone how to combat that menacing squirrel that wants to eat him... what would justify 5 frail nerds who don't know anything about the world to leave the protective bosom of their masters blouse? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jojobobo 613 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 I'm going to go for a cipher, playing the suave debonair type that reads people's minds. I'll go with whatever race synergises best with that (i.e. whatever race seems both sophisticated and well liked). I think I'll have a good playthrough to start with too, just because it's nice to have that as a norm before trying out more unusual moralistic options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caranthir 3 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ranger probably ... or rogue. These are the character classes I play most in any RPG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rink 34 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) Hard choice, if I know something about the game I usually take a class that makes sense with companions and their classes. I usually go for the rogue if I know nothing about the NPCs/game or if I expect there to be enough with different classes in the game, now we will not have that many NPCs in the game and it is often useless to have two rogues in the party. So it will depend on how good the NPC rogue is (how appealing he/she is to me) and when he is introduced to the game (if it is late in the game, I usually also play rogue). Second choice is usually a healer, so cleric, but since healing magic is rarely found in the game, I am not sure if this class will be my cup of tea. Have to wait and see. Third choice will be the Ranger. But I will have to wait and see before I can decide. Edited November 25, 2012 by Rink Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wanderon 634 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I chose rogue altho until we have more information thats just a guess based on the fact that I like a really good rogue type and I can't always count on the devs to provide one that fits the style of rogue-ness I want. Rogue is also typically a good group spokesman in case only the PC gets to lead conversations and it's typically the class with the most options. On the other hand if I get into the game and find there is the rogue of my dreams already waiting for me I'm quite likely to set my PC rogue aside and choose another interesting class to play instead. For that matter within the first month I am just as likely to have a half dozen PCs at various parts of the early game while I make up my mind which one will carry on to the next section first.

jezz555 207 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well, I believe you can create your own party. So theoretically you could play all of these classes at once, or at least a handful of them. I know I'll want to check out ciphers, just because psionics are pretty novel in D&D games Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Valci 81 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Most likely a Chanter as "bard" has been my most played class in rpg's so far. I especially liked the blade kit from bg2 so if possible i will have a dual-wielding chanter of some sort. As far as i understand gear restrictions will not be very tight so here's hoping. The fact that chanters can do whatever else while "performing" will hopefully help having one that is more combat oriented. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jarmo 804 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Also, on my first try I tend to go goody-goody on all choices, so I might just go and pick a Paladin. After a bit of info on how PE Paladin is going to be and a bit of rethinking, I'm not going there soon. Maybe on a create a whole party playthrough. Rogue or fighter, most likely a fighter.

mstark 516 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Likely a ranger. I just like the entire concept, and we'll be in the Dyrwood after all . I also like to use wizard and rogue classes as my avatar, but I'm currently playing an Archer (in BG2) for the first time and enjoying it a lot.

Rasputin 1 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Uhh... this poll should be 1 poll not 2. Having said that, Since there is no multi-classing, I will probably start with a monk, then play a mage, and then god knows what after. Chanter sounds interesting, but I know nothing about it.

You only have 10 options per question. The polling option is designed that way, I had to work around it. Otherwise, yes it would be 1 poll not 2.

PB_Popeye 26 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm very interested to see how the Cipher class works out so that is my choice for now. As more details are released about the classes I may lean towards Wizard but so far my curiosity is insatiable in regards to the new elements of this game. 1 Quote Do not criticize a fish for being a turtle when it is, in fact, a fish.

Leferd 3,050 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 I hate paladins. I never play paladins. I especially find paladin (or Paladin like) npcs to be insufferable (Aribeth, Ajantis, Mazzy, Anomen) Ironically enough, the two classes I'm mostly to start playing with are the cleric (most similar to DnD paladins) and the paladin. Go figure... 1 Quote "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle Link to post Share on other sites

I like the way you think. I can recommend you Dark Soul's for dual shielding On topic it's a hard choice. My first tought was an archer Rogue but i'm also a nature lover so ranger/druid is on the table too. Then comes my bloodlust which pokes me to play a barbarian.

Barothmuk 585 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 [Obviously subject to change and will ultimately depend on the game's lore/setting and what I deem fits the PC more] If the aumaua are orcish or if I can play a Baphomet looking god-like I'll probably roll barbarian, if not maybe a cipher orlan.
