Mage is just what you are likely thinking it is - a Magic-centric class that is not going to have a wide selection of armor and weapons, but nonetheless is able to deliver serious hurt on the enemy! When you are playing a magical character, your tactics must be different - like a Ranger, you do your damage from distance rather than wading right into the fight - and like a Ranger, you are not as adept at soaking up damage as a Warrior or Rogue. No, there is no Ranger class in this game, but you get the idea. Rogue - the Thief Class. There is a lot of the Warrior in the Rogue, but there is a finesse and a set of opportunities to this class that Warrior does not possess. Considering that there are Achievements / Trophies in the game for persuading (Warrior will likely be who you use to get the intimidation ones) it makes sense that you will be earning those as a Rogue. You do not soak up as much damage as the Warrior Class, but you can handle more than the Mage can, because you can wear most of the same armor that the Warrior uses. Like the Mage there will be some weapons and armor in the game that only your class can wear as well. A more significant aspect of this class is its ability to open locks - and there are a surprising amount of locked chests and containers in the game! Being able to get into those will help you to quickly amass wealth, gear, armor, and weapons, which you can equip on your character and your party members or sell to merchants for more wealth. It is a decided advantage in the game, which is something for you to think about. - Background: Varies by the above choices. There are six Origin stories that are associated with the Background choice - and in the next section we will explore all of these, but for now, here is the basic rundown: Human Warrior = Human Noble Human Mage = Magi Human Rogue = Human Noble Elven Warrior = Dalish Elf -OR- City Elf Elven Mage = Magi Elven Rogue = Dalish Elf -OR- City Elf Dwarven Warrior = Dwarf Commoner -OR- Dwarf Noble Dwarven Rogue = Dwarf Commoner -OR- Dwarf Noble - Appearance and Voice After you select the first three main traits, you are given the chance to name your character and then to adjust its appearance and voice. You do that by using the sliding menus for each option as follows: - Appearance: multiple selections for hair, features and skin tone. This is your chance to personalize your character - decide how he or she looks, their hairstyle, even their voice. As you are going to be spending a considerable amount of time playing this character and since in a way it represents you in the game, you may want to seriously consider spending a few minutes playing with these settings so that you end up with a character that you like. If you are a serious RPG fan - consider what that means: (R)ole (P)laying (G)ame. Creating a persona and personality for your character that you can play and remain true to is not just a good idea, it will actually make the game more interesting and fun. You will not have to be confused about the choices that you will be making in the game, because you already know based on your character persona what sort of choices they would make. I always try to play each character as true to form as I can - even when they make decisions that might make me page 6 / 145

Attributes You begin with a set number of attributes in each category and have a number of points to spend as you like in addition to those. Unlike the Skills and Specializations, your attributes have a much deeper impact on game play than you may realize, so we are going to go into some detail here so that you have a firm understanding of what they are and how they work. First though, let us look at the present levels and the choice of how to spread out the additional points. You are given 5 points to spend in addition to the base attributes already assigned to your character - for a Male Human Noble Warrior these are: Strength - 15 Dexterity - 14 Willpower - 10 Magic - 11 Cunning - 11 Constitution - 13 You can add all of the points to one or spread them among several of the attributes - how you do that should correspond to the how you plan to play the character. For instance it is possible to select any of the skills next that normally would apply to a different class - like trap-making or herbalism - and if you decide to go that route and create a hybrid-class, you may want to invest a few points in Cunning or Magic even though you are creating a Warrior. For a pure Warrior, the most important stats are going to be Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution for now - but remember that every time you level up, you are given additional points that you can spend improving these attributes. Now let us examine what each of these attributes actually does in detail. STRENGTH: Measures a characters physical prowess and directly effects the damage that a character does in physical combat. Your strength stat contributes to the accuracy of melee attacks, and is an essential stat for warriors, especially if they intend to use two-handed weapons. The strength stat is almost as critical for Rogues as it is for the Warrior. - What Strength Does - Increases damage from all weapons except crossbows and staves. Increases attack score in melee combat by 0.50 for each point purchased. Is a prerequisite for most weapon talents and higher-level armor and weapons. Contributes to physical resistance and intimidation. DEXTERITY: Is the measure of agility, reflexes, and balance. Higher dexterity improves a character's chances to hit, makes the character more likely to dodge incoming blows, and contributes to the damage dealt by piercing weapons such as daggers, arrows, and bolts. Archery and dual-weapon fighting styles require high dexterity to master, making this attribute of particular importance for the Rouge Class. - What Dexterity Does - Increases the attack score for melee combat by 0.50 for each point purchased. Increases the attack score for ranged combat by 1.0 for each point purchased. Increases defense by 1.0 for each point purchased. Increases damage from piercing weapons. Is a prerequisite for some weapon talents. Contributes to physical resistance. page 7 / 145
