You will be able to play all classes on 1 character of 1 subfaction, making another of the same subfaction does nothing for you, the second character is in no way different then the other (unless again, you roleplay). You characters dont swap subfactions, what you choose is what you are stuck with on your character (unless they put in something like a respec, which they said they arent planning to do except when new subfactions are added into EC).
Well, you contradict yourself a little here. Are you stuck with your choices on your character or the subfaction? Because with the former multiple chracters of the same subfaction do make sense, for different skilling.
How have i contradicted myself? There must be some miscommunication here, im really having a hard time seeing how you cannot understand what im saying. You make 1 character, you can unlock all the skills of his subfaction on him, all the classes. Why would you be making 2 characters of the same subfaction "for different skilling" when you can earn all the skills on one of them and swap between classes on your leisure rather then have 2 of the same taking up your character slots? Ergo making 2 of them of the same subfaction, outside roleplay, is a waste of your character slot.
That depends on how skilling works. If it takes longer to unlock skills (more experience needed) the more skills you already have, it would make sense to focus for example with one character on melee and with another one on ranged combat. Also it is possible that you have a skillcap for the number of skills you can have and then only increase their effectiveness. There is a multitude of scenarios where it would make sense to have multiple characters from the same subfaction. We will have to see how the skilling system actually looks like.
Im telling you what the design team has been saying since 2013, based on what they said there really isnt imo. Not sure what these multitude of scenarios are that you speak of. But yes i guess it is a wait and see, many things change in development and have changed already.
I am late to this party but oh man this sounds great! Although I am looking forward to race over Eldar heads in my predator .. Playing as a Eldar dark reaper is ... tickling my fancy ... Also .. I LOVE the idea of subchapter class difference and itemization! Big hugs from papa Nurgle!
Aspiring Sorcerer Could be an interesting idea/Implementation depending on where and what they do with it
Hoping 1st of the 1st Terminators are in white. This is looking good. Can't wait to meet the Eldar on the field, see how the aspects work together.
With the amount of attention to detail that we've already seen from this team, I'm more than sure that we'll see canon-correct armour patterns! Also I agree, we've been seeing the very bombastic Space Marines Vs. Chaos combat across the twitch, but once the Orks and the Eldar are in, the dynamic is going to be radically different, I'm sure. It'll be fascinating having to develop the sort of skill-set in game where you have to change tracks between fighting the different races. Going to make for some thrilling game play!
