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
