Your race determines your genetic make-up.
|
|
|
|
Some races are genetically predisposed to being stronger, sturdier,
|
|
more intelligent, more sensitive to light, etc. than other races.
|
|
In addition, different races are physically different from others,
|
|
having different limbs and other types of body parts.
|
|
In real life, you had no choice. You were born human. In the Dead Souls
|
|
reality, you do get a choice. Your choice should be based on your
|
|
style of playing? Do you want a magical character? Or do you
|
|
want to play the game by brute force? Or perhaps deception or
|
|
skullduggery?
|
|
|
|
What do you prefer to explore? Do you like dark, enclosed areas? Or do
|
|
you like well lit castles or the open outdoors?
|
|
|
|
Do you wish to have humanoid limbs which can be easily equipped? Or
|
|
are you interested in the advantages of having different limbs which
|
|
might allow you to wield more than two weapons at a time but are not
|
|
so easily equipped?
|
|
|
|
All these questions face you now. Whatever choice you make, so long
|
|
as it fits the style in which you like to play, will be rewarding.
|
|
There is neither a best pick nor a worst pick. There is only what is
|
|
best or worst for your style.
|
|
|
|
Towards that end, here are some clues:
|
|
Intelligence and wisdom make the best magic users.
|
|
Strength and constitution make the best fighters.
|
|
Dexterity and charisma make the best roguish types.
|
|
|
|
Each race has its own help file. For example, to find out about humans,
|
|
type "help human".
|
|
|
|
Type 'list' to see the selection while in the setter room.
|
|
|
|
Type 'pick RACE' (for example, pick human ) to choose a race.
