If this was mentioned in the compendium, I'm sorry I must have missed it.

Will you name each individual character or do all of your characters have display the same name?

1 name for all 16 of your character's? I doubt that, it's more likely that each character has an individual name.

you can't switch bodytype nor character ingame

you cannot change characters or body types during a fight. the characters are like profiles with different clothing and stats.

I would think that, like most other games, your PSN Name/ XBL Name/ Steam Nick would be the display name. Any character specific names would be for personal identification, like "Combat-Medic" or "Mine-Engineer"

In a video I saw from QuakeCon, the guy said "I made a Heavy black guy and named him Hollywood," so you might be able to name them, but when you play, your gamename will be displayed. I guess it's like Borderlands, where you can name your character, but it never shows up in game.

You can switch between classes and weapon load outs at command posts at any point in a battle. I'm pretty sure the body type remains constant.

I'm sure it will be like Borderlands, where the name is for the save file. At least that's how the console version of it is. PC will probably use your Steam display name.

I would name my characters: Roan, Lequis, Serith, Razark, Dharen, Daliek, Derek, Gwyis, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

But, there are 4 classes AND 3 body types.

4*3=12

I thought you got less characters than that...

8 characters.

I only need 3... one of each body type. I can be any class I need at any time.

4 calsses 3 body types 2 factions, so thats 24 in total. and thief is kinda right, but correct me if im wrong in that you can only have a caertain amount of abilities, so you can't have them all. so that might be a problem in terms of class. but I'm sure 16 is enough for all your charcters, if it isn't im sure SD would give us more in a patch

you are right about the faction part, but I think each character has a resistance and security look, which is why when they say scars are permanent just like in real life, they mean it per that character.

The level cap is 20, so you get at least 20 abilities. They said at least 50 abilities, at another point they said if we have 100 and only 80 are fun, we'll ship with 80, so maybe they have 100 right now. I am guessing you get 20 per character + the "strongest" ones (Sense of Perspective, Battle Hardened, Combat Intuition, etc).

Well your character can play both sides, there is no point having a security or resistance only character.

you can probably name them, but their name doesnt show up to anyone else. if you get invited to a friends game (if you can) or are about to join someones, how would you know which character of yours you are selecting? unless it brings up that screen in the video, but thats kind of a weird way to have to choose your guy every time

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:54 pm

Wow, to name all your characters,
I would probably start calling them random stuff..lol
Bob, Fred, Poopie head, Number 4 and so on and so forth..lol

» Fri May 27, 2011 8:54 pm

so? i would just give them numbers and maybe like medium medic or something like that

» Fri May 27, 2011 9:06 pm

i think u use ur psn or xbl name or make one for the pc version
