do you know if they give guidelines on multiclassing and like showing the things classes will learn if you progress? To answer the second part of the question, that's one of the thing we don't currently know, we know there's a ''show details'' button on character creation that might be just what you ask but we don't really know for sure. Aaaah I see, we'll have to wait until release to find out then o.o . Thank u for taking the time to go back and answer this!!

Play what you want, though I'd recommend playing either a face class or a barb first off.
Face classes for the obvious advantage on talking your way out of things. But barbs have a special interaction on the tutorial level that can help you snowball your party without the cost other classes face for the same option. And barbs tend to do good on intimidation checks so they can ki d of face too. Sorry, what does 'face' mean? And thank you, I'll consider this!!! Altho I do tend to forgo ease for more fun playthroughs xD

The good news is all the classes are fun and you can respec everything except race for your character. So the only important thing for character creation I would say is choosing a race that you like.
We don't know whether party skill pooling will ever be in so as N7Greenfire says having some charisma and some skills like persuasion is handy. Perception also seems to gets rolled a lot. Ooo I take it that's what 'face' means? And that's true. I guess one big difference between this and an actual tabletop campaign is you're pretty much alone in these rolls so, if you're a character with low perception, there's no one else in the party who might be able to salvage the action with their higher perception proficiency

Altho I do tend to forgo ease for more fun playthroughs xD I assume that in the context of that reply face means high charisma classes that are really good at manipulation through persuasion, deception, and intimidation. The charisma classes are Warlock, Sorcerer, and Bard where they are not only very good at selling glasses to the blind but all of their spells and powers are also powered by their charisma so they literally weaponize their charisma. Rogues can also make decent faces because even through charisma is a secondary or tertiary stat for them they get a lot of proficiencies so you can give them proficiency or mastery in the speech skills and they'll still be very good at it.

OP: I played an gnome arcane trickster in EA and it was one of my favorite characters. I wouldn't worry too much about planning beforehand. You seem to have a basic knowledge of DnD 5e, that should be enough. This. You apparently have D&D knowledge/experience and the game is made to be easily playable by people who have none. You're even easily able to get your Arcane Trickster by just playing Rogue and picking Arcane Trickster as your subclass on level 3 iirc. Though you'll want some Intelligence to go with your Dexterity then obviously. Class and race will indeed make differences in dialogue but mostly in a positive way as far as I've seen, i.e. giving additional options or flavour. So don't worry too much. It certainly doesn't hurt thinking ahead but it's definitely not necessary. Thank you fylimar and Silverstar! Yea this thread has made it clearer in my head that I should just chill hehe. I'm also the type to kind of be done with a game for a looong time after just one playthrough (I tend to try to complete everything on the first go) so I try to see what I can do/not do that'll affect my enjoyment for just one run. But games like these have really good replayability

The most fun part is to plan the Character itself, as in - background, personality, motivations, aspirations. Then selecting a class that would fit. And then trying to stick with it throughout the game, making choices that the Character would’ve made, not the player. AH yes, thank you ladydub, how could I forget this!! This really will be what'll make up a lot of the fun for me, as it is a DnD game. I'll be sure to keep this in mind when I finally play!
