Are Race And Class Separate Choices?

Simple question. Will we be able to choose our race and class independently as in traditional D&D, or do the two go hand in hand a la Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance or Champions of Norrath. For instance, are all Fighters also Human, or can I be a Tiefling Fighter?

    They should be independent of each other. I'll be surprised if they aren't.

    It would be highly odd for Cryptic to tie them together, so I believe it is safe to say they are separate.

    I agree that it would be odd. I found it incredibly odd when I came across it the first time upon picking up Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on a whim because it had Baldur's Gate in the name. I wanted to be a half-elf Fighter and did not have the option. Oddness does not necessarily decrease likelihood, and that's why I'm worried given we've had no official word whatsoever. I Cryptic just assuming we know which way they're going?

    BGDA was a stripped down D&D game designed for consoles; this being a PC game should not have the same problems.:D

    I believe Daggerdale has preset race/class combos, as well. =/

    Cheap console games have a tendency to strip options.:mad:

    Yeah, much easier to develop Gauntlet clones.
