Choose this class if you enjoy using magic.ĭark Elf Shadowknight - Similar to the barbarian, this class uses melee weapons but also uses dark magic, such as poison, to hinder its enemies. You will not have a lot of HP, so be careful, but at higher levels, this class can demolish groups of enemies with ease, and is great to have in a multiplayer party. Choose this class if you want to play multiplayer and be support.Įrudite Wizard - A magic user that can damage both from a distance and close up. Has several heals and other enhancement magic. On its own, the cleric does limited damage, and can have a hard time fighting. High Elf Cleric - A support class relying on magic to aid other fighters. Pick this class if you want to take out enemies with bows or spears, or fight from a distance. You will have to pick one or the other to specialize in, otherwise you will find yourself too weak at higher levels.
Wood Elf Ranger - Primarily a ranged class, though can use melee weapons as well. Choose this if you want to use a lot of swords, axes, and the like in direct combat with the enemies. Has several buffs, mostly individual, and can tank as well as dish out damage. Here is a rundown of each class:īarbarian Warrior - This is a very in-your-face melee class. The new ones are both restricted to what I take to be male (neither are human, so it’s a bit hard to tell). The five old ones can be male or female, though the difference is purely cosmetic. The five from the original game return, along with two new ones.
There are seven classes to choose from in this game. I suggest playing through each side at least once to get the full story, There are several throwbacks to the first game as well, such as Vanarhost, so if you have played Champions of Norrath you will definitely want to be both good at evil at least once. Once you have beaten the game, whichever side you choose, you will be able to choose a new side on the next difficulty. If you choose to fight for good, then you will be facing Cazic-Thule at the end, but if you choose to fight for evil, you will fight Mithaniel Marr.
Only a couple missions have any significant changes, and the most important one is the endboss. The dialogue will change, as will the location where you purchase new items, but that aside, there is little difference. The actual choice does not make much of a difference in gameplay, and is mostly cosmetic. Once you make the choice, you cannot undo it, so choose wisely. In the first game, you were out to destroy Innoruuk and save the world. Will you fight for the forces of good? Or will you help evil to regain its control of the land of Norrath? Good Vs. And when you start your first mission, you will be greeted with a choice.
Return to Arms brings you more goblin-slaying action as well as new classes and new skills to master, over multiple difficulties. Champions: Return to Arms for the PS2 is the sequel to the Action RPG Champtions of Norrath for the same system.
