@LordRumfish Actually I run damaging passives on chanter, and secondary dps/offtank as a ranger. Rangers and bards are simply my two favorite character classes in anything, and a multi means I don't have to choose.
If anyone not part of the backer beta would like to check out character creation, and even some of the game, you can watch or click through this 8 hour Pillars of Eternity Deadfire Backer Beta Twitch Stream!
It starts right after clicking Start Game, otherwise the first 29 minutes and 29 seconds is the guy rambling.
You'll see a lot mind you, but Obsidian said in their stream yesterday that it is spoiler free from the story the location they picked, much like how it was for the Pillars of Eternity Backer Beta.
The new skill trees are especially interesting during character creation!
Sadly, like many YT Let's Plays and Twitch Plays, people for whatever reason, feel the need to put their face in a box on the screen which blocks some of the game itself. Expect it with this one too.
@shandaxx, gives us a summary of what you think about the multiclassing system and different kits etc when you've tested it for a while. Would love to read your insights and experience with the beta. If you can drag yourself from the game to actually write it down, hehe
From players' responses... it sounds like they might be reducing choice to stop overpowered builds or poor builds? I liked the general perk picks.
We also don't know how much more powerful a high level single class will be versus a multi-class with the same exp.
Actually that would be a decent compromise..I just hope the subclass abilities will be worth it. Since I don't plan to multiclass anyway.
There's a bit of of an issue with PoE for me.. It's the only game where I feel forced into optimizing my characters. Something I never did in BG, NwN and so on..Sure I might abuse the mechanics a little to perfect my precious CHARNAME a little, but most of that is for fluff.
Tactical combat actually interferes with my ''immersion'' I guess.
Sigh... Typical Gromnir? Not saying he doesn't make a point worth contemplating, but my god that style of posting is so ''lofty'' it makes me exhausted just reading it. Or maybe that's just how I react to it...and there's something wrong with me^^
Thanks @shandaxx, read most of that thread and it was indeed very interresting. Haven't visited that forum before, but maybe I'll lurk around a bit there. I do prefer reading info from ppl I know more since then it's easier to know if I will agree or not. But thanks for the link and the reply.

Nah, I'm kidding. Have fun with the beta.
(Also I have never noticed before but Australia looks kind of like a dragon)
No, I have no shame
