I'm coming over from xbox. I'm also buying early entry. I know the hr class fairly well so I'm probably going to stick with an hr as my first character on ps4. my second will be a righteous dc. I"ll also be acquiring the dragonborn race asap. it's a solidly useful race. not the prettiest ever but the attributes are the best imo.
Some advise from long time PC player. If game mechanic is same or at least similar to PC version, I would recommend starting with Control Wizard. This class is easiest to go through game quests, and provides most fun doing it. Your second char should be something useful in parties - like Guardian Fighter or Devoted cleric. At end game (lvl70) these classes are most-wanted and really necessary in all multi-player content. Still it is frustrating at times getting those 2 to max level and do solo consent, as they do little damage. Also (at least on PC) most of DC skills requite manual targeting. I can't imagine how this is done with controller, but I am sure it won't be as easy as it is with mouse.
So - CW for most fun. with TR/GWF being 2nd choice. (TR is really nice to play because of the way it moves, but it does 1/2 of GWF/CW damage). DC/GF for everyone else to love you HR,OP and SW are not best choice for beginners. On PC, OP is quite useless now, HR and SW depend on bugs to be useful and some day eventually maybe some of them will be fixed.

yea, however will we poor lowly handicapped Console players manage to move the targetting reticule without a mouse???
Gonna be a Tiefling Trickster Rogue. Tiefling Rogue was what I always played in Neverwinter Nights 2 so I think that's what I'll have my first character be.
It probably depends on the number of character slots, but I'm tempted to do Scourge Warlock and probably Trickster Rogue. I like Control Wizard, but if I go with SW then it might be a bit too samey. If we get more than two slots I'll probably add a cleric into the mix and a great weapon fighter.
I'd forgotten how painful early levels were with the Devoted Cleric, but I rolled one anyway! So far in total I've rolled a Scourge Warlock (Menzo Drow) a Cleric (Menzo drow) and a Sun Elf Control Wizard. Got one more slot for another Menzo Drow - probably a Trickster Rogue.
New player here, wanted to start with Oathbound Paladin, but an earlier poster says they are useless? What is difference between Oathbound Paladin and Guardian Fighter?

from what I gather, Paladins used to be utterly invincible, to the point of trivializing content. now they don't do that anymore, so they are considered useless. I could be mistaken though.
personally, I am literally swapping back and forth between Warlock and Paladin, trying to decide which to play long-term. leaning towards Warlock though. both seem to be pretty fun in their own way.
Took Hunter Ranger/Drow... Level 9 now and I still can't figure out how to do a melee attack... on the PC it was hit the tab. But what button is it on the PlayStation 4?

R1, it should be.
but it doesn't unlock till level 10, I'm pretty sure. that's when my class mechanic unlocked on my Warlock and Paladin.

...and then I'm going to buy a truckload of character slots. :)

Oath of Devotion is for healing.

I really like melee combat in this game. Which is funny because in ESO I totally hate Melee, and I play a ranged dps/healer.
