Q: What are the playable races, and is there a selection of professions a player can aspire to?
A: There are four playable races in Silverfall: Humans, Elves, Trolls and Goblins. We've included a fair amount of customization at character creation, allowing players to choose their character's sex, hair style and skin color. These choices will not place limits on the player's experience in the game, but the sex will affect some plot elements and the ways NPCs react to the player.
As for professions, we've essentially left that decision entirely up to players; we have abandoned a traditional class system in favor of an open-ended skills system. When a character gains enough experience to level up, they receive four skill points and four attribute points to allot as he sees fit.
There are three skill trees available to players: one for combat, one for magic both of which are available to all players and a third, which contains skills specific to the nature or science paths or to specific races. The combat tree contains three branches: melee, long-range and technique; and the magic tree allows players to focus on light magic, black magic or element magic. In all, there are more than 130 skills that will allow players to truly develop a uniquely skilled character.
