What race are you going to play with? And what class / specialisation?

[ChubbiChibbai]

I still can't decide what looks the most fun this time around.

I played as a dwarf rogue and an elf mage in my Inquisition runs but they look like they have really made some great changes to the combat for Veilguard and they all look really fun.

A straight white guy but It won't even matter because this game will probably force upon you some WOKE stuff without you knowing, just like they have in their previous games.

What a stellar account, multiple vac bans etc.

Having said that, the joy of single player games is that even you can play it exactly the way you want to.

It's all good, no worries.

I also could've edited my initial comment to include both the race and the class, but I thought it was too funny to edit xD (I stand by everything I said btw, I was opening my soul in that one)

+ you don't have to deal with cheaters and lag

God forbid you have bad internet connection. I stopped playing multiplayer games years ago.

Spellblade elven mage. Still undecided if male or female, will see which one will turn out better in CC. Shadow Dragons since I'd like my Rook to be local plus idea of fighting slavers and helping slaves is very appealing.

Does male / female have any impact on skills or game-play in this one or is that purely a cosmetic choice? Would be cool if there were some differences.

I suspect it is cosmetic only since so far in DA it did not affect any skills whatsoever, just the romance options. Not a case in Veilguard, so it is probably just visual preference. But we have to play the game to know for sure.

Yeah, the specializations, no idea. Don't remember reading now if they are limited by faction, so hopefully not, since I don't play as a tank, just the highest damage with a bigass sword.

It is limited by race but not sure if faction plays in as well

I wish they would release the character creator now so that we can spend time customising and reading through all the faction backstory.

I'm usually too excited on the day and rush through it and then regret my haste.

100% agree

Dragon's Dogma 2 did it right.

DA did it with the first game - shame that trend didn't continue.

DD2 did it yea, but unfortunately the game itself wasn't very good :(

I'm super lame and in every Bioware game I always play whatever the 'default' character is when you start up a new game. So probably human male unless classes or specs are locked behind certain races in which case I have no idea. Going into this blind with no knowledge of the classes and specs.

[Keith]

All of them. I hope to do every class/specialisation combo

Not race locked, just the factions have certain specializations - dwarves as usual can't be mages though.

Nothing boring or lame about playing the default characters. It would be your single player game, play the character you feel most comfortable with.

I dunno what it is, honestly, I've never been one to spend hours in a character creator in ANY game. I just pick a preset and go.
