I think it will work out fine, it just takes the fun out of pondering how I'll create my character. With the current setup, it sounds like my first character will be dictated by what I find most fun as I'm playing.
Possibly. I've been deliberately avoiding reading too much about the game so I can play it and form my own opinion, but I suspect you will still be given the option to buff/prioritize a few stats starting out, which would effectively be choosing your "class". Then again, I could be wrong. Guess we'll find out in a few hours
