starter class

I'd say for me it depends on if we get that third race
with the season pass. if so I'll probably be whatever race that is and
then choose Veteran since I used Vet in the beta.

Survivalist ... gonna focus on sniper and shotty.

[SSlarg]

True, but you'll also get access to the other weapon types pretty quickly. Even if you don't go Survivalist you'll still get a sniper rifle of some kind at the same time you get your first quad. I think those first few missions all give you a different basic weapon. It takes a bit longer to get a change of clothes unless you want to buy one. I'm going with Veteran, not because of the background, but because I'm partial to ARs and the Veteran outfit looks like something I'd be wearing.

Greetings fellow Veteran!

You do realise there are no classes, your initial choice does nothing more than determine your starting weapon which you will have replaced within 10 minutes of leaving the introduction area and a offers little background story to your avatar. You initial choice has no bearing at all on how you handle weapons, your weapon skill improves through continued use of that type, arkfall codes if you submitted them for the generic bonuses, and nothing more.

yep I know it's mainly appearance and story. still kinda cool though.

Yeah. I guess they could have given some sort of faction bonus based on your choice, but it's cool. I wish there were more customizing options though. Faces, hairs, facial hairs, tattoos, etc. It would have also been nice to pick your origin, then have a choice of several outfits specific to that origin, so all Veterans don't start out looking the same.

it will change quickly between preorder outfits and ppl finding in game outfits
I imagine within a few days everyone should look quite different from one another.

...and nothing more

Not entirely, there was a pic of an orange weapon a week ago that was class specific w/ some nice effects on it.
So class will play a role, perhaps later in endgame gearing.
I'll see if I can dig it up.
