Can i play as Van helsing?

[PocketYoda]

As per the title can i just play as Van helsing like the original was? If not why was he removed seeing as its a Van helsing game and all!

To me the first game was amazing and then they removed him for these weird class robots and such.

I have not installed the game yet so if he is in the game my apologies

[Mikoto]

nope, he's gone for the new classes

[M1lh0u53]

yup, its the biggest disappoinment i have with the game.

your still van helsing
or namely his son
you always have been throught the three games

and reworked the skills and powers and stuff

This, we never played van hellsing, only his son.

Still is a bit akward to be an expert in weird science and don't know how to fix a generator.

My issue is there is no First game Van Helsing class, you were ranged/melee etc.. Big hat and trenchcoat etc..

In Final Cut the Bounty Hunter class is with big-hat and coat. He has most of the ranged skills from the old Hunter class, plus some additional skills and auras.

I completely understand what your saying, i miss the hat and the coat and having my swords out ready to just attack.
As it is now i'm stuck in a Knight-looking outfit if i wana play melee and no matter what item i pick up changes nothing to the look.
Dissapointed.

You've got the sword-and-shield alternative to the old Hunter - the new Protector class.

True, but he doesn't have the awesome melee skills. I don't like big suit of armor or shield. I wanted my greatsword using Van Helsing back from part 1. I don't mind the new classes, but they could have at least kept the Hunter class in the game.

The whole mechanics is reworked. And now the devs designed these more specialized classes.

You can still play with Van Helsing hat.

It was pointed several times, that such mixed character development was a self-gimping. Melee and ranged skills require different attributes, so if you develop in both directions, you couldn't stand the challenges.

But if you've watched the demo-video of Martyr, you could have seen that there the character uses both melee and ranged weapons / skills. So in that next game of Neocore you probably would have the chance to play melee and ranged in one character.

I don't get that i played VH 1 right through with Ranged and melee and never had one issue the whole game.
