Yep, that's logical about quest completion => SP.

I just noticed that if this guy was 2 feet shorter and had a long flowing beard he'd be your typical dwarf. Grin
Nope, an archetypal dwarf has below average Dex, and maximum Con is something a troll would rather have.

Just need to say, it is refreshing to see a game being developed where your character is limited in power and forced to be a specialist instead of "Master of all skills, Annihilator of everything".

Long time lurker, but some things just need to be said.

Can I make an idiot?

Like someone with stats of 3 in everything...
Or lesser if the game allows.

4 is the minimum. But you certainly can =)

What a great idea!

Playing clumsy dumbasses was a true pleasure in Fallout and Arcanum. Like, truly intellectually stimulating dialogues.

I don't think AoD has "stupid" dialog though.

Sad, but then it could be fun to see how epic fail that playthrough can get.  Evil

I suppose that in the cutthroat world of AoD, retards generally don't last very long.

It's not in the demo (since it's combat only).

The Combat Demos do not allow choosing background, instead they allow choosing weapon specialization (+50 skill bonus to a particular weapon, I guess). Afaik in the real game backgrounds will replace weapon specialization; the backgrounds do not influence anything but your initial reputation with different guilds and houses and your role in the starting story about the merchant and the ancient map (see the http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,149.0.html thread for details).
And everything is going to be flexible - you can raise a monstrous murderer Loremaster/Grifter/Merchant or a limp wealthy and sociable Mercenary/Assassin/Knight.


BTW, a question to developers - in some AoD character creation screen snapshots I saw characters wearing different clothes in accordance w/ their backgrounds - like, a Loremaster (or was that a Merchant?) had some colorful stuff on, while a Mercenary would wear something that looked like Auxillary Armor (bronze).

Will different backgrounds give different starting inventory? I mean in addition to goodies which you get according to skill levels.
