The character class you select will depend on your playing style. There are three classes available for both genders, Warrior, Ranger, and Mage. In general they are not all that different, they can each use any weapon or spells they want. The differences between the character classes lies in the traits you can select when you level them up. When you level up a particular class you will typically have a choice between 2-3 each time you reach a certain milestone.
