One of the distinctive features of New World is the lack of choices when it comes to classes, or at least it seems that way. Just because the game doesn't include a mechanic where players choose a class during the character creation process doesn't mean the game doesn't have classes. Characters can still be Shamans, Clerics, Rogues, or any other class from classic RPG lore, as long as they have the right attribute build and weapon skills. Creative players can even make up their own customized New World classes, an exciting prospect for those who felt limited by games with distinct classes.
