I started in 1.0 and the lore in 1.0 wasn't all that great. I chose Highlander because they were touted as being mercenaries with no homeland left to go to. It seemed like the perfect choice for an adventurer. The duskwights were going to be my first pick since it is my original character ever created when i was 8. But their mannerisms didn't go with the backstory of outcasts and rough. So it was not something i could abide.
