Don't worry about your character's appearance just yet, you will be prompted to customize it soon. Note: If this is your first time playing, we recommend you choose a mage. They can deal a lot of damage to a single target, but are less fitted to fight against big groups. Rogue: Rogues strike fast, whether using a dagger from behind, or shooting arrows from range. They can take the most damage of the three classes, making them a good tank. They wear heavy armor and can wield a two handed weapon, or a shield for additional defense. Warrior: Warriors can be either tanks or damage dealers. Mages rely on their allies to keep enemies away from them. While mages can be extremely powerful, they cannot take much damage and are very vulnerable when taking direct damage or when confronted at melee range. Can also specialize for support roles such as healing and debuffing. There are three classes you can choose from: Mage: This is the magic casting class, and can deal massive damage to many enemies at once using area of effect spells. Choice of class will determine your stats, powers, abilities, weapons, armor, and style of combat. Your character class, on the other hand, is important and you should choose it carefully based on your preferred playstyle. The choice of gender is mostly cosmetic, and affects some of the dialog, but has no impact on your character stats.

You will be controlling Garret Hawke or Marian Hawke (character name can be changed), depending on your choice of gender. Choose your class and gender This is the first choice that comes up once you select "New Game".
