Before a new game can be started, the main protagonist will have to be created. There are eight steps that need to be done:

  1. Gender
  2. Race
  3. Class
  4. Alignment
  5. Abilities
  6. Skills
  7. Appearance
  8. Name

[edit] Gender

The player has a simple choice between male and female. Male characters will have access to three potential romances. Female characters will only have access one potential romance. After the gender is selected, a portrait will have to be selected. There are already many portraits available, but custom portraits can be imported.

[edit] Race

The player has a choice between Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Dwarf, and Half-Orc. The race chosen affects which classes can be selected.

[edit] Class

There are eleven classes to choose from and some have specialized kits. Humans can choose any class or kit, but non-humans will have some restrictions. Non-humans can, however, choose to multi-class.
