Plethora of Playable characters

[TeamSODA]

I kind of miss the days when there would be around 10+ characters that I can potentially add into my party outside of the main group I may start with. For lack of a better description, I miss playing games like old Final Fantasies where I was struggling to decide who I wanted to use as my mains, who I wanted to level up, which characters i enjoyed reading interactions during the storyline.

There is HUGE replay value when I can go back into the game and choose a different set of playable characters that give me different strategies in combat along with different content in dialogue.

Sometimes I even choose the entertaining hero that sucks in combat an thereby makes the game more difficult, but I choose that hero because he's my favorite 'character'.

I also love when certain characters are difficult to recruit. You may have to do several quests and conversations in a very specific order to get them. Or you may have to already have certain characters in your group to prompt certain conversation that leads to a new character being willing to join you.

[edit] of course I don't mean 10+ at the same time. If its 4 guys in a squad, I want to struggle with deciding who will be with me and who will sit back and not earn XP.

I also love the situation where I drop one of my high level mains for a Low Level guy/gal I just met, all because I'm visually intrigued by the character design

Brian Fargo has already said there are going to be plenty of recruitable NPCs.

However, it sounds like they might not be playable. They'll be in your party, but you won't directly control them.

Calling them Playable may not be the correct phrasing. Even if they are simply AI members of your group.

Thanks for the heads up though, I haven't been able to check up on things since my original kickstarter donation. But now I'm bored at work
