Character Types

Are there going to be character types in this game? The way the storyline is set up, it would seem not, but it would be extremely nice (the easier to develop my alter-ego, the better).

Anyone got any info???

------------------
Programming is a battle between the developers trying to make better idiot-proof software, and the Universe trying to make a better idiot. So far, the Universe is winning.

Well, kinda, sorta, not really.
Your charcter will advance and become more powerful than a crackhead tripped out on PCPs, etc., but you don't really have much choice in say, a D+D type thief / fighter / mage type thing. But with Coldstone at your access, you could go and make a game similar to PoG, but with classes. I'm not positive of that, but I'm fairly sure of it.
Forgive me for the analogy to a person on speed. I know it was tasteless and immature, but I must make those lines once and a while.

He is a tester.

So? That doesn't mean he doesn't know what he is talking about. I've been playing EV since 1996, but I didn't come to the boards until this year. Does that make me any less knowledgeable?

As for the classes, are you going to be able to direct the strengths of the character? I assume you do...

Okay, so no choosable classes, but can you alter character development to meet your playing style.

Well, I don't really care if you choose your character type or you don't, as long as PoG is cool (which, of course, it will be, not doubt :)).

It's hard to ignore when it's at the top of the list, Gojita. Just for the record, before sombody gets really mad, it is not a good idea to bring up topics that are a year and a half old. Now you know how it works - if you post a reply, your post becomes first in line. ~RD
