Marceror Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I suppose this question can relate to the upcoming beta (err, demo), but I'm probably more asking about final release. It's sort of hard for me to answer at this point, because I want a balanced party, and I'm not totally sure what companions will be available. As I recall, we have Cadegund who is a priest, so I likely won't start with this. Eldoth is a wizard, so this probably won't be my first class. Forton is a monk, so probably not this. I think Edair (did his name get changed?) is a fighter. Sagani is a ranger. I recall Adam mentioning an Orlan Cypher. I'm not sure if the final two companions have been discussed, but I don't see a rogue listed yet. So I think I'm leaning toward a Rogue or a Chanter. I'm assuming that one of the companions will be a rogue. It seems like all cRPGs have a rogue companion available. So that leaves the Chanter, mainly because I want to see what this class is all about.

Pray Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I was so sold on Ranger or Barbarian, but after seeing Paladin/Bleakwalker, that will probably be my first. The Lore is just too cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmy Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My main character will be a female Chanter and her hubby who will probably be a ranger. Then four NPCs. One of which will be that Godlike Paladin woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leferd Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Companion roster: Eder - Human rogue Pallegina - Nature Godlike paladin Orlan Detective - Hearth Orlan cipher Cadegund - Human Priestess of Magran Aloth - Elven Wizard Sagani - Dwarven ranger Forton - Monk Josh has alluded that there will be 8 companions. But so far I believe we have only confirmation on Eder and Pallegina as actual companions. There was also an Aloth sighting as well and a reference to "The Devil of Caroc."

The Lore is just too cool. I want to play as a Bleak Walker too. A Death Godlike Bleak Walker. But the Barbarian and the druid look interesting too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand_Commander13 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You know, I find myself thinking about playing a monk an awful lot... Might not be a bad place to start. Cipher sounds really interesting too, though. I guess I'll just have to see, but as the beta approaches the choice is becoming easier. 1 Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity?

TrueMenace Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Hands down the Monk...followed very closely by the Cipher. I really like the theme of these 2 classes as they are extremely unique twists on the orthodox classes. I'm probably going to be playing these 2 classes the most as I want to give as much feedback about them to Obsidian. Their whole theme and playstyle seems the most fun and unique to me so I want to make sure they get them right! Edited August 15, 2014 by TrueMenace Calibrating...

Ink Blot Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 ALL of them. When the game releases, there will be food stockpiles by the computer, bottled water, and astronaut undies. It's going to be one big orgy of character building and simultaneous playthroughs. I shall wallow in my own filth and play PoE until my eyes bleed.

Marceror Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 13 classes if you include Economics and Political Science. Though maybe I should add a good math class to my list!

Lioness Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I am set on the party (Paladin. Druid. Cipher. Chanter. Priest. Wizard), not so much the main. The player character will fill in whatever slot can't be filled by a (likable) companions: Looks like Druid based on current companion roster.

Caerdon Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 My first character will be female elf nature godlike ranger with antelope companion and hunting bow as main weapon. I don't really know why, but I settled on that quite a long time ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marceror Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Are antelope companions confirmed in? I assume they are, since how are we supposed to play this game without antelope companions! ANTELOPE!!!!!! Oh, wait, I was thinking of cantaloupe.

Lephys Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm gonna play a Chanter named Sandal. "CHANTMENT!" Not really. I'm'a be a Weezard. STEP ASIDE, ALOTH, and taketh notes! Notes... I should've used that line with a Chanter companion.

Raistlin82 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I really like Edér, Pallegina, Sagani, Aloth and Cadegund.I really don't like Forton and the orlan cipher, from what I've seen so far. I really like both the mechanics and concept of the monk and cipher classes, though.So... I guess I'm going to make a monk (Aumaua) protagonist and a cipher (Godlike) ally... then I'll just go around trying out the rest of the companions.

NWN_babaYaga Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I play a nasty racist human assasin (rogue) and roleplay it so that every npc is a promancer in my imagination and kill him/ her on sight... After that good killing spree i will just relax with a human rogue and roleplay him as a relaxed adventurer who has freed himself from the pain these romance threads did to him...
