[celta789]

wouldnt u like to choose the origin of your character like in dao for example an elf could be from valinor that landed in the gray heavens a green elf from the mirkwood realm a noble from rivendel and so on

[jmak]

Yeah, that would be pretty cool if we could do that, I would be a Dwarf from Moria that wants to retake it from the orcs and goblins.

[celta789]

i would be a noldorian champion sending a message from the valar itl be do cool

[celta789]

I would love to do that however it's pretty much confirmed that you won't be doing that:

GS: Could you tell us a bit about the three classes and their features, as well as how they evolve throughout the game?

RT: The Lord of the Rings: War in the North's three main characters are all fighting against Agandaur for their own reasons and in different ways.

Eradan is a Dunedain ranger and part of the Grey Company, and he's a master tracker, quick fighter, and an expert archer. One of his unique skills is evasion, which allows him to move undetected by enemies. This not only lets you flank enemy groups, but can also let you revive your fallen allies without being seen.

Andriel is an elf from Rivendell; she's an agent of Elrond, sent to investigate the armies gathering in the north. She has more crowd-control abilities than the other two, but she can be customized to be very effective in melee combat as well. She has the ability to create a shield that protects the whole fellowship from enemy ranged attacks that can also slow down, damage, or stun enemies, depending on what choices you make in her skill tree.

Farin the dwarf is from the Lonely Mountain, Erebor, and has come to help repay his people's debt to Bilbo Baggins. He's the best tank of the three and has abilities that let him draw aggro and increase his armour and stamina. He has some crowd-control and ranged abilities, but his strength is really wading into a battle and fighting in close quarters.

maby you are another character and coose the origin you want mabye these are youst companions

[Fexelea]

Well that would be nice but all the videos, art and screenshots we have seen show only 3 characters, and we know it is up to 3 player online co-op so I would be very surprised if we discovered a fourth player at this point. It would be possible that the main player takes over 1 of the characters and customizes it, with the other party members having the default stories, but so far we have heard no comment from SB on that direction and everything points the other way.

I thought that you had a predetermined character and just tweaked his features. Not to say that an origin would be a nice touch though, it actually sounds sick like an awesome champion of erebor or something
