But there is no explanation about how I ended up on a ship with a new group of adventurers. Once completed, I went through another portal to begin the new 10th level prologue quest.

She quickly has the player go through the short advanced class selection process. At this point, I found the experience a bit jarring since once the cutscene ends my character appeared near Beatrice, a Lazenith whose mission is to watch over the mortal world. Each class also feels like they have a unique identity.Īfter character creation, there is a short narrated stylized cutscene that tells the backstory of each base class. Going from a Paladin to Sharpshooter took a bit of an adjustment, but all the classes I tried were fun to play. I finally settled on playing a Paladin as my main, but I did play through the prologue with a Striker and Sharpshooter as well. I liked that there were video clips during character creation for each advanced class, providing good visual examples of a few different abilities. But the various faces, hairstyles, make-up options, and appearance accessories allowed me to make five decent-looking characters quickly.Ĭhoosing what classes interested me was also easy enough. The body type is static and determined by the base class.

Having its roots in the A-RPG genre, character appearance in Lost Ark is limited, but there are enough options to make them somewhat unique.

Lately, with other games, I found myself agonizing over tweaking sliders and color palettes to make a character look just right, and half the time failing even after an hour or more. Character creation in Lost Ark was a joy.
