Customisation?

[Shaoh_Kahn]

Or are the characters the twink / loli presets? Either way, will their skills / "class" be customisable -- for example: tank / ranger / caster...?

The customization is perhaps one of this games biggest selling points.

[Shaoh_Kahn]

^ Do elaborate... 🤔

The character customization is pretty wild, you can have fun and create a bunch of different looks.
The "classes" would refer to "blood codes" in this game. Each blood code has its own abilities and different playstyles, you cannot wield heavy weapons with the Prometheus blood code for example. So some of them are more squishy (but faster) or more tanky (yet slower) than others.
Your outfit and armor aren't exactly the same thing, the outfit really is just for the looks, while your top armor comes with different skills depending on the type you choose.
Also, you can change your blood code anytime ! (but you better have the right equipment at hand for it ahah)

^ Hmm... Interadasting 🤔

[erobotan]

there is no height slider.

the body customization (skinny/not skinny) including boobs for female are combined into one slider.

from PS4 video, dunno if this version will be different ..

[Shaoh_Kahn]

^ I like height sliders -- they let me play tall females (or 'females') -- the sex I default to in case of soy-twink-only 'male' avatars.

Oh my god. Do you people just not look at anything before posting these? Customization videos have been out side feb

[Shaoh_Kahn]

^ I've seen it since -- yes. However, I posted off-the-cuff, after the game appeared on the Steam page.

Please do not self-harm for the sake of my perceived 'superfluous' post. 😕

You level up your code bloods, and then using points to unlock more arts and passive. You can equip 4 passive+8 active arts. You can learn any arts(or at least in the demo, don't know if we will have unique abilities)after a while, using a "familiarity system". More you use them, more points you get. Once you get familiar with that skill, you can use it on another blood code. You can also create combos using your blood arts and the moveset of the weapons.

Also, when you level up, you don't choose your stats, you just "evolve" your blood codes.

'Fighter' or 'Berserker' if I'm remembering correctly.

Are there any ranged builds / abilities?

Technically, you can use whatever weapon you want with whatever blood code you want. Is just better to use a blood code focused on strength and carry capacity

Yes, 1 Ranged weapon type(bayonet) and a lot of ranged abilities

one of the comment from nichegamer is that you don't get punished for playing as mage (in dark souls 3, mage sucks .. quite a heavy downgrade from 2 )
