Yep, the respec option is pretty great since they have such deep and diverse class system and so many ways to play. You get the option almost right away and can make a save right after, so you can play the game as any combination of characters you like (while still playing with origin characters that have their own stories etc). Only thing you can't change is their race sadly.

Even in one playthrough though, the respec option can allow you to fine tune your characters based on their levels. You are not restricted from multi-classing like in 5e.....allowing you to be any combination you want (even 1 level of every class). Most of the melee classes get a big bump at level 5, so going pure 5 barbarian/fighter/ranger/paladin etc really pays off initially, but AFTER 5, multiclassing can add alot (and in some cases going pure past 5 like for a barbarian doesn't add that much).

There is alot of customization you can have, but you can also flat out just play simply with a basic set of classes and it's not complicated. The story is great, and it's pretty easy to pick up (two friends have not played a game like this at all and are loving it).

At the same time its not so on the rails that people who do play RPGs feel bored and don't have any choices that matter.

Great game, very worth the money and wait.
