I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Still not 100% decided, but I think I'll be going vagabond.

That depends on what build you'll be doing.
Take the Wrech which is lvl1, but has 10 in FTH. If you aren't interested in FTH at all, that's already a few points wasted.

Do we have a comprehensive list of starting equipment and spells?
I'm leaning samurai - stat spread seems comparable to vagabond, and I prefer katana to longswords/halberds. Might go prisoner or confessor if the starting magic is powerful, though, since it's usually easier to find weapons than spells early game.

I'll probably try them all for 10 min and see what seems fun.
I usually go for Bandit. Confessor sounds interesting though. Samurai is obviously pretty cool.

That's true. It looks like the starting class actually does matter a little more in this compared to other FromSoft titles.

I pick this class just to look at the naked butt of the female model? What's your deal?!

Mathematically for most melee builds vagabond or samurai are going to be the best (they have the fewest "wasted" points in int/faith/arcane). Too early to tell what the optimal class for various casters and hybrids is going to be.

I always love going knight with some supporting pyromancies. Do you think picking vagabond would be a good idea this time around if that's my goal?

Pyromancies have been folded into miracles this time around, so you'd be looking at putting at least a few points into faith with such a build. Vagabond would be a good choice, or confessor if you want a head start on your casting stats. Personally I would go vagabond though since early game you tend to rely more on melee in these games - we don't know when the bread and butter damaging miracles will even be available yet, usually faith classes just start with some not very useful healing spells.

Wretch for me.

There's only one correct choice and it's the wretch

Is stealth actually a viable option for this game?

Vagabond. No need to be cute, just smash faces and refuse to die.

Prisoner seems good for a int/dex build.

That is just an advantage.
I like wearing all starting gear and try everything. Besides is a little extra challenging i guess.

Ask me about my Stream Deck
I think I've averaged 3 characters/builds that I complete the game with in Demon's/Dark Souls/Bloodborne ... I'm going to stick with the prophet for the first run, but damn, the prisoner sounds cool, samurai is wild, and I like the look of the confessor. Of course this only impacts the first few hours, but still.
My real goal is to compete the first playthrough completely blind and then I'll plan out a build for the subsequent runs.

Prisoner or Hero will be my choice

It seems like i need a sarcasm emoticon to put at the end of my posts.That is just an advantage.
People keep talking about what starting class they are going for but what are you BUILDING your character for. I'm torn between Lightning Paladin (no heals, medium-armor and light shield) or Arcane Crusader (magic, heavy armor, giant Two-hander and heavy shield, with defensive arcane magic and only offensive magic being magic infusing - if it is in the game).

Odd how the descriptions talk up Bandit and Samurai as being the best at ranged combat. Bandit says it specializes in ranged attacks, while Samurai says it's the closest to the traditional ranger class which seems odd with the heavy armor. Seems bandit will be good for short bow spamming, while samurai will be better for aimed shots and higher damage.

I'll be building for a knight that's able to put his sword on fire, so I'll pick vagabond and put some points into FTH along the way.

I think I'll go Vagabond or Hero. I like wielding big weapons and only mixing in a little magic.
Saber

Yeah, I'm thinking either the prisoner or warrior(with focus on magic). I like the hybrid term, which makes it not a master of both arts but a mix between them.

Cool classes. Something noticeably different than the usual fighter, sorceress, healer in games.
Even if the abilities are similar to classic classes, at least they look and have different descriptions.

In case anyone was wondering, I checked and there's no advantage in number of stat points adjusted to starting level.
Interesting, so there’s no min/max strategy with wretch (deprived) this time around, and outside of wanting a very specific build in the first 10 levels that is not close to any of the proposed ones, there’s no gain/strategy of picked wretch outside of an added difficulty very early on…

Bandit seems like a useless class - even if shortbow spam is viable, the class is overinvested in arcane. It'll probably come into its own later once we've discovered this game's arcane-scaling equivalent of Blueblood Sword/Anri's Straight Sword.
