Tell Us About Your Character

[Cryptic]

What do you play as? Who do you play as? How do you play? What's your skill selection? What's your armament? What armor do you use? What spells do you prefer? What companions are your favorite? What side quests do you like or dislike? What do you want to see more of? Anything else?

[Cryptic]

I'll start us off.

I play as the Lord skin in the male skin selection. My character's name is Corsier and I play as a Crossian. His background is noble - knight. His trait is that he is disciplined. I spend most of my points in power and physique. I choose either unaligned or Ashentarra as my religion and justified or neutral as my disposition. For starting skills, I usually take accuracy 1, intensity 1, and fast to react 1. I always play on the normal difficulty.

[Silhouette Fleur]

Unfortunately I can't be near as detailed on the technical side as Corrosion as I can't remember all of that from my own play throughs.

I tend to play as a shield maiden of varied background or alliegances.

The most constant thing about my build is that I keep to passive buffs, anything that lets me heal automatically, dodge more, and hit more often.

I'd say I'm more focused on character ability over character personality, and I've yet to use the magic system.

[AceHangman]

I alter up the skin selections and genders, but the build is almost constantly going to be a Sorcerer (for the Staff of Aggression), with all points into Strength (for carrying capacity) and then I take the Fast Learning trait for earning XP and then Spellcasting for magic with Mending for healing.

[Darx]

i like the warlock skin the most so far.
of course i take the spellcasting and blast.

i really like the fact magic was added to the game. i missed that in the previous one.

[Cryptic]

Yep, the magic system will likely get a little bit more love in the future but I'm really trying to finish up building the world out first.

Now that the estate has been given a closet [wardrobe], I'm going to
be switching between the male defender and male knight skins a lot.

{ QUICK EDIT: Taking time to update my Skills and Companions List. }

[Cryptic]

Very cool. :-) There's a big update on the horizon, so there will be many new adventures to be had with your company of furbutts ;-)

Guess I should add my current character setup here too. Though not sure about some of the starting stats I picked.

Character Sheet:

Name: Requiem
Skin: female - Wanderer
Country: Sagerow (+1 Posture)
Background: Commoner/Ratcatcher
Trait: Wisdom

rnk: 24

Aspects Points:
-Power: 4 + 4 (Character customization)
-Physique: 4
-Prowess: 7
-Posture: 5 +1 (Sagerow)

Religion: Vekran
Disposition: (current) Justified/Light
Starting Skills (lv 1-3): Clear Cognition,Fast to master, Accuracy 1, Evasive 1, Flurry (After that I aimed to get some healing spells and max out accuracy.)

Difficulty: Medium
WM: Famous, Divine Absence, War Effort

I tend to grab all the loot that is lying around - for that reason I prefer taking the human partymembers along, they can simply carry more stuff. Also I love using the 'Flurry' skill, which the animal companions sadly can't learn.

[Cryptic]

I should mention that I now almost always immediately get border-lander as that is a REALLY useful utility skill.

[Zeno's Donut]

Name: Olga
Skin: Female (Sword Sister)
Country: Sagerov
Background: Commoner/Laborer (I assume logger or carpenter, since she starts with a Wood Axe and I've seen no reason to swap it out)
Trait: Wisdom, because XP is awesome

Role in Company: As tanky as I can be.

Companions, So Far: Syril. I'm looking for Ursula since I got the DLC but have not been lucky enough to find her yet. :(

Ursula is in the trapper camp to the Northwest of Pyrshen. In the province of Cresse. Should be about a minute walk on the world map.

[Cryptic]

It's really awesome to see all the different characters here. :-) Nice to see there are some various playstyles too.
