Well the class selection ain't surprising.
The cleric is someone everyone wants in the party but nobody wants to be.
[...]
But then again they are so versatile you can have a party entirely Made up with clerics and call them the A-Men who can bully Tiamat for her lunch money who would rather built a toilet to give herself swirlies. And now you know how to play cleric, you're welcome! (Dainty music)
Cleric is probably a harder start than wizard.
Wizard at least has great damage cantrips. Cleric is mostly stuck using sacred flame against hordes of high dex goblins.
Once you get spiritual weapon it starts ramping nicely and by level 5/6 it's nuts.
Though the early game is hardly important, because it's always easy. Like a tutorial area. In pretty much all games. Mid- and end-game proficiency is much more important.
I’d argue early game is very important, because if people are having a rough time at the start, they quit and never get to mid and end game.
A cleric can be a competent martial class for the beginning of the game. Falls behind true martials after those get extra attacks, but by then clerics have 3rd level spells.
Great JoCat reference 🤣
Thank you :)
I like that they released this. I am the most basic having first picked a Half-Elf (sorcerer, no less). My SO picked Githyanki (bard) so he gets more unique points. The Astarion rejection section is hysterical to me!! Also, I cannot believe hundreds of people beat the game in a weekend? Mindblown.
For real, I have the week off, my gf is out for work, and I played all days since release, and I’m still way way behind 😂 granted I restarted after act 1, but still 😂
It’s nice to see a good chunk of people going down the evil road. The game does an excellent job in providing gameplay and roleplay rewards for these choices. I’m loving my playthrough so far and I’m always surprised by how many small interactions are there for any possible dialogue or action.
As for the class, me and a couple of friends also chose a paladin for the first character, but switched after act 1. Now I’m playing an evil warlock and holy moly I’m having so much fun.
well, if any previous BG experience tell me, sometimes people just roll with situation instead of reload when they try to steal stuff and get busted then forced into fight or die situation, which leads to big fight in town and stick through their decisions. Unless the graph means the actual conversation choices not the end result.
My halflings aren't popular I see:*(
I don't see why anybody would ever play a boring version of a gnome when the proper gnome is right there.
I have a halfling barbarian on my buddy’s that is so much fucking fun
Wouldn't that just be a dwarf? 🤔
Pshhh I see Faerun has bigots as well 
Jokes aside, as a halfling my friends can chuck me. Which has actually been useful! Also halfling luck (re-roll on crit fails)
"Not the beard!"
I went with Tiefling Bard.
It's been fun so far.
I went tiefling bard dark urge. Turns out there are more tiefling bards.
I'm rolling with a Halfling Rogue, it's always the class I try to play first in D&D games and versions. I'm also surprised at the lack of Halflings in the stats!
My wife is playing a Githyanki the only race that's less popular. Lol!
This could basically be the graph for characters people made in DND beyond.
