I'm not complaining but other than cosmetic look what reason would I ever have for making a new character if I can just respec my skills at any time and if I really want to use a different weapon I still can because the per weapon level increases wont make or break anything.
What do you guys think about this, will it lead to the starting areas being empty shortly after launch?
Highly doubt the starting area will ever become empty due to stuff like contracts, arkfalls and challenges.Quote:

You want additional load outs other than the first four?Quote:

Or maybe you have a character and your brother who lives with you has a character, and your sister has a character cause you all share an Xbox?
I dunno lots of reasons.
Those really aren't legitimate reasons you would make a second character like most MMO or multiplayer games though, those are all very situational.Quote:

Did we forget these games were suppose to be fun?
Thank you, also... you are win.Quote:

Only reason i was planning on making an alt was to stick one on the US server but that ain't needed now.
Edit: This is just my opinion by the way,i am in noway saying that others shouldn't make alt's just because i see no point in it (each to there own).
Thanks for the complement :)Quote:

Dont know if this has been put out there or even brought up but has it been said that you will be able to respec your character whenever you want?
