Charecter creation

[Cosmo 🐲]

Are there any or is it just a default build you go with ?
(im hoping this is a bit like Pillars)

AFAIK no charachter creation. Only customization in regards to stat points and skills.

Thanks for the answer, sadly that makes it a no buy for me

Yes, the characters are in-built into the story. So unfortunately you cannot build from the start. Still - over the course of the game you have access to 7 characters (6 in EA) and you can replace them at will. They are diverse and play different roles. Also - even your starting characters (e.g. Warrior archetype - Kane) can be built as a tank, cleaving high-damage berseker or even a semi-mage - damage or crowd control - if you focus on correct attributes, items, enchants and on top you select his high damage skills.

Is there a chance that you at some point could release a demo, i would like to try this before i decide to buy it then :)

I think Steam refund option (2 hour window) is a great way to try new games in that respect?

If you want to give it a try - please wait for next Tue patch - we made some changes to the early part of the game and added some more customization options (it is still not a full character creation, this we will never have). New version will make the early part of the game more condensed - more fun in less time.

personally I like the story driven aspect.

A demo is something else, though. A demo is supposed to be a representative vertical slice, not just the beginning (which might not necessarily tell you much about the game), and is not dependant on paying you first. You can also take your time with a demo, analyze it, make up your mind, instead of rushing through the game lest you accidentally hit the two hour mark.

I understand that creating a demo takes time and money you'd rather spend on the game proper. But Steam's refund policy is not a good replacement, and I wish demos weren't so rare these days.

(On the topic of this game in particular, I for one am also waiting on GNU/Linux support.)

I got a mail from steam saying
"Refunds are not a method for trying out games"
after i refunded some games i bought

Hmm, I was under the impression that 2-hour window was introduced exactly for that - trying a game to see if you like it and it it runs good on your PC. There is no way we could do a demo - everything is integrated into one big project, interlinked together. We cannot just cut some of the things out - and 10 GB demo, well, I don't think anyone would be happy about that. So unfortunately - we cannot prepare demo version.

So you can't build a full mage... meh.

No buy for me either.

[Morteon Eternity's Knight]

There are two full mage charachters. Whisper and Aeric, both can be built as full mages....

Sorry to necro, just want to really call attention to the silly reasons people are swearing off buying the game lol, like 1 character not being able to be a full mage and no character creation. Really arbitrary, guys.

For you, they are arbitrary reasons. Character creation is at the crux of many peoples reason to buy or not.
