Fractured Online Spotlights Character Creation, Attributes, And Skills

Dynamight Studios continues its Fractured Online feature spotlight series with a preview of the upcoming game’s character creation system. As with most MMORPGs, character creation will be a pretty straightforward process of choosing a race, distributing attribute points, and making your avatar look just the way you want it.

To make things interesting, your chosen race will affect how many attribute points you can allot and the maximum number of points you can put into one attribute. Demons, for example, might have a higher strength but lower charisma cap compared to other races. You’ll also be asked to choose a background for your character that will determine the initial set of skills and abilities that you’ll start with.

“In this last step, you can choose the past of your character. Each kind of background grants you a different set of abilities already studied and sets you on a different path during the new character tutorial. One thing worth noticing is that all character backgrounds available are pre-defined – you can’t choose the exact abilities you already know. This choice has been taken to make new heroes always start with a set of abilities that synergize properly with each other, allowing new players to have a more effective early game experience. Once your character learns new abilities and gains talent points, its background will no longer be significant anyway.”

The team also touches on different types of abilities, swapping skills for different situations, and resting mechanics.

“[. . .] Your character can eventually learn all the abilities available in the game, but he’s only allowed to use a subset at the same time. This limitation is where Fractured Online flirts the most with the MOBA genre, allowing you to shape a different “hero” before embarking in any kind of adventure to better tackle the scenario you’re going to face or find the right spots in your friends’ party.”
