Character Creation

GreedFall Guide

Greedfall puts a big emphasis on De Sardet the main protagonist of the story. Character creation reflects this by allowing you to customise your character based on how you play RPG’s and you can see below the different ways to best build your character for the adventure.

Appearance Options

Appearance options for your character are the most limited when it comes to customisation when compared to the skills and attributes options mentioned later.

You can tweak De Sardet’s sex and choose from a number of preset faces, hairstyles and colours for each plus overall skin tone. If you are looking for advanced customer creation, being able to change the shape of your face, size of your nose etc then sadly you’ll be left wanting more.

At the moment, Greedfall only offers a small selection of preset appearance options.

Classes

Classes in Greedfall are more of a starting set up for your character which is a recommendation, rather than a permanent choice that you are set for. Greedfall with recommends Attributes and Talents for the selected class.

Warrior

This class as the name suggests will focus on melee combat over all else.

Focuses on one-handed heavy combat weapons and one-handed blades, the warrior will start with One-Handed Heavy, One-Handed Blades and Firearm Skills.

Recommended Attributes:

  • Strength
  • Endurance

Recommended Talents:

  • Craftmanship
  • Vigour

Technical

This class as the name suggests focuses more on crowd control techniques for turning the tide of the battlefield. These are seen as the Ranger, Rougue.

Focusing on tools, science and overall strategy they start with Elemental Traps, Firearms and One-Handed Blades.

Recommended Attributes:

  • Accuracy
  • Agility

Recommended Talents:

  • Science
  • Lockpicking

Magic

The magic class as the name suggests concentrates on long-range magic-based attacks with are high DPS.

Focusing on combat from a distance the Magic class starts with Divine Magic Rings, Statis and One-Handed Heavy weapons.

Recommended Attributes:

  • Mental Power
  • Willpower

Recommended Talents:

  • Science
  • Intuition

Note: Don’t worry too much about the starting class as the game does not look down any skill trees based on this selection. You can always branch out into being a magical warrior or a warrior who concentrates on traps. In Greedfall the choice is yours to build out your character however you see fit. There’s also later in the game the chance to re-spec if you want to change your build.
