So are we creating multiple characters or just one?

[Hunkulees]

I've been reading a few different articles detailing what was said in the recent interview and each time the dev discusses (in the singular) "creating your character", and "choosing a class for your character". It's never plural. So, are we going to be forced to pick one character, similar to Sea Of Thieves, or Destiny, and build it from there? Or will we be able to create multiple characters, so we can experiment and get to play each class?

I really hope it's the latter. Forcing you to play as just one character in a Left 4 Dead/Vermintide style game seems like a poor, limiting choice. Hopefully we can have multiple builds. I want to try everything

4 characters. Different careers dumped into one character this time. And I don't agree it's poor, counterwise, at least some personality other than "my character is so unique mom!".

That's good news then. I kind of figured itt'd be something like that. That makes way more sense with a game like this. No one should be locked into just one character. It was just the wording that had me nervous

understandable, tho if it gets down to the technical lingo, one does not create/play 2 characters simultaneously.
hence its singular:D

Oh, has it been talked about somewhere?

I've also wondered if we are only getting one playable character at a time or one per class or some arbitrarily large number like 20. Do we have to delete them to make room for a rebuild? Can we fiddle with their stats without deleting them? Are we able to delete them at all? If we start over does the exp of the class reset to zero? Do different characters level separately? Is trust shared across classes or characters or purely separate? If trust reaches zero, is our character killed by the Inquisitor?

There's loads of questions about how the character roster will work and I guess we'll see eventually.

yer alot of questions about this, it seems likely the answers will be one character for each class with changes as you want for skills and looks

Since this is nowhere close to MMO in many ways - we will have 4 characters. And after choosing 1 of 4 - you tweak your talents, etc further. Like Vermintide 2, but 1 hero icon per hero instead of 4 hero icons (4 careers). Don't really see any other way of doing it.

I'm mostly glad I am no longer locking the character for other people. There were always 2-3 heroes that were in every lobby and people who mostly played them would be forced to play with bots or change heroes most of the time. Now nobody cares what you pick, they can pick whatever they want to and it will not substantially hurt the team.

Now there will be 3-4 sisters of thorns with Javelins. Yeey fun.

You can hope it won't be this way, but if you know people - it will be, the easiest strongest builds only with low skill ceiling. So I recommend playing with friends always when possible.
