Switch between characters & pawns?

Not sure if this kind of info is out yet, but.

I read there's only 1 save slot. So is the reason you can make 5 different characters and pawns is so you can completely switch your character build mid-game by simply selecting another character and keeping your progress?

I read that your build matters with smaller characters being faster but using more stamina, and bigger characters being slower but using less stamina and can carry more weight, etc..

The characters and pawns slots in the character creation are saves for NG+, So that you can make some of them when you have the inspiration and then when you start the NG+ you can quickly switch to them without having to spend 2h in the char generator.

Because yes, each time you start a NG+, you can create a different character (you keep the non quest items and vocations from previous playthroughs).

The game is made to be played and replayed several times with NG+, it's closer to a roguelike gamestyle, it's not the type of game where you spend 400h on the same playthrough. That's why there is one save file only, it's to force you to use the NG+ mechanic.

I gotcha. Thanks for the clarification.
