You can play an Imperial if you pre-purchase the Imperial edition. Also that gets you a pet crab, a white horse, a book that I want more than the game, and some other stuff.
I’ve watched some videos and so far creating the characters looks like the most fun. The game looks very… game-y.
But it looks like my mage Sits-When-He-Pees (thanks, Jerric!

) should be a Sorcerer so he can summon that cute clannfear. Although it seemed that you can’t pick up weapons and staves and robes from dead NPCs? Maybe that’s an MMO thing or maybe the players I watched didn’t want that stuff. Who knows.
I might also just buy some colored pencils, draw my dinosaur mage, and then spent the rest of the money on a road trip.
