Class and Race of your main toon. Poll.

[Woldan]

Right now I'm heavily leaning towards making my first character a ranger. Animal companion? Cool. Focusing on ranched weaponry including firearms? Very cool. Stealth? I love stealth abilities. Though I'm not so sure about the race, godlike may be more fun than human.  

[FlintlockJazz]

I'm honestly no longer sure.  I was going to choose Human Cipher the first time I played, with Orlan Paladin and Human Wizard for later playthroughs, but now I find myself seriously considering gun-wielding Orlan Ranger with big-ass pet, Elven Cipher, Human Wizard moved up to potentially first as well, Paladin of some sort, maybe even a Druid if they turn out awesome.  Not a monk though, somethings can never be forgiven...

Umph...

 

Wizzzzard of course, I like other kind of classes too, but making sequencers and launching magic missiles is just what I prefer above all. I hope to see their description son !

 

As for the race, I did not remember what was an Aumaua, so I picked it Hope they can rhave more than 12 INT....

[Sir Chaox]

To those who chose Human Wizard: You all copied me. Stop it.

[Greensleeve]

Class-wise barbarian, cipher, fighter, monk, and rogue are the ones I'm genuinely interested by. Race-wise, it's probably just amaua and Godlike of some sort. Most likely first character is an amaua fighter. 

[PIP-Clownboy]

Poor monk. 

[Freshock]

Dwarf Ranger probably, the poll opened my eyes though - lots of interesting combinations.

[Sarex]

Paladin as always. Probably human, maybe godlike if it's similar to Aasimars

[FlintlockJazz]

Dwarf Ranger probably, the poll opened my eyes though - lots of interesting combinations.

Yeah, it's opened my eyes too - I now realise I could play a Godlike Cipher too, completely forgot the Godlikes for some bizarre reason.

[teknoman2]

ranger or rogue im not sure yet, but my philosophy has always been "kill it before it attacks", so these 2 classes fit nicelly

and if half elf is not available i will go for either human or godlike

[magicwallis]

Totally has to be a tiny, pointy eared, hairy, spell slinger, all the way.

[Juneau]

A Godlike Rogue will be my choice.

Dull and bored with life, always a bit of a fighter but good at heart. 

[Ystareth]

I would go for Cipher, but there is still the Monk on my mindt!

 

I think i have to check them out live to make a definite choice.

 

And for Race it would be some godlike being but im not sure there either.

[Printer]

For my first run, I've always prefered characters that can melee, but also have some useful skills outside of combat. Disarm traps in 3E is one I always like to have if possible, so I don't have to rely on a thief companion who may not be all that great.

There's no fighter/rogue in PoE and the rangers appear to be strictly ranged, judging from the update, so maybe I'll just pick a rogue or fighter.

Race is probably dwarf, because I've always liked playing the underdog.

[Nyhilla]

As there's no black knight, dread knight, necromancer, or other classes with similarities, I think I'll be going on a fighter (Hope there will be some sort of dualwielding for them), or a Cipher. I'll see that when I'll get the full information pack. And when I tell Full, it's full, I like theory builds so, wait'n'see.

 

Edit : Oh yes, there's no Dark elves like in D&D so I guess I will give a shot to ... humans ! for once I'll play as a human .. beee .. ^^

As there's no black knight, dread knight, , 

 

Yeah would really like to see a Soul Reavery type class eventually (sequel/expansion I guess at this point). 

[Aargh]

I'll probably play a Humanb/Godlike Paladin first, because I usually like Paladins. I just hope the game will have some cool offensive Paladin abilities so I can get my Holy Smite on.

 

I'm very tempted to play a Dwarven Rogue though, for some reason. Wielding the biggest gun I can find, of course.

[Failion]

I'll try something unorthodox like a orlan barabian or a druid to see if its anything fun.

[Silver6986]

Human Rogue all the way

or maybe a aumauan monk?  the most unorthodox according to the poll.

[Hiro Protagonist II]

I didn't vote. The powergamer in me would like to know the various races abilities and bonuses before I choose a race for a specific class.

[ArtB]

Most likely a Human Paladin. A heavily armoured dude dishing out various cool buffs to his allies, whose soul quite literally burns like a man-sized campfire sounds rather cool. Then again, I'll probably change my mind a billion times, especially since the cipher seems tempting as well. We'll see, we'll see

[ZloyDblX]

Humility, patience, compassion, respect - the priest of my choice.

[Oneiromancer]

Well, it's a bit too soon but because my first character in Baldur's Gate was an half-elf ranger I will probably play as one in PoE too, changing my race to godlike for variety sake. Also I really liked the portrait of that black female godlike with feathers in one of the screens and I think a ranger (or druid) with weird "animal" features would be something cool to play as. I'm definitely going to try an aumaua fighter or barbarian (I know, I'm a boring person ) on my second playthrough.

Not enough information yet.
