One argument I'd add to this is: One of the worst feelings in an Open World game is when it takes you a long time to find an upgrade to your character. But if you start out as a Wretch, well, literally anything is an upgrade, and you can get the happy chemicals sooner from finding cool shit, instead of starting off with a premade starting character, and taking longer to find an upgrade. (and a specific upgrade at that)
Start as one of the classes, and you're basically locked into that class, until you unlock the respec option, meaning that stuff from other classes would be either discarded until then, or put to the side. Start as a Wretch, and use everything and anything you can find.
Basically, I agree. Wretch is probably the BEST way to start off your FIRST playthrough of the game. After the first Playthrough, you'll have a better knowledge of the game, and going for very specific builds from early one, while starting them with the specific class, is going to be much smoother of a replay experience.
"There isn't any Eastern Samurai looking armor in any previous souls games." Sir Aloone is deeply hurt by what you have said. And if you are going to argue that he isn't a samurai, well he commits seppuku and wields a katana. Is this pointless to argue about be it's just a video game? Yes. But I like talking and discussion about Souls because they are fantastic.
Never played as wretch before. This is gonna be the one I do it. Am confident enough in my abilities and feel like playing like a hobo, also feels like a good starting point to get both good strength and intelligence. Am tempted by the prisoner tho, mostly for the gimp helmet
So glad that I saw this literally the day before the game dropped. I didn’t have a class in mind, but whenever I play a souls game I spend my first few hours trying out all the characters one after another till I find my favorite but now, as you can tell by me leaving this comment, I’m going balls deep on this wretch character for my first time. Thank you so much man for improving my experience of my favorite game I haven’t played yet
Been playing the game all night as a wretch and my existence is pain, very exciting though. The peak moment was when an enemy dropped his rusty armor and i was so hyped i finally had clothes.
I was actually already thinking along these lines for this one, particularly due to the wonder I felt starting with nothing in Breath of the Wild. Open world games just seem to feel better when you're forging your own from nothing – at least in my experience.
Ppl talking about getting convinced about wrech class, bruh I just wanted to go naked fuck with a stick
fuck it you made me choose wretch class 6 hours left to release

Nice try getting an advantage over other players by recommending them to use the worst class. I see through your tricks magic box man 👽
was gonna play prisoner, but now i'm gonna play wretched
Ok but vanguard is a better blank slate than wretch stat wise, just pull off the armor when u start
I can hear the Sam Harris in you.
actually fucking convinced me tf

This is exactly why I love playing deprived. Thank you for putting it into words!

I'm playing as the Wretch because that's what my family calls me everytime I make eye contact with any one of them so it just feels like home.
Maybe suggest other classes for noobs. Wretch isn't a noob friendly class.
You sold me on it
Music?
I am only hours away from it's release and I was going to pick one of them but honestly, you've convinced me. I'll play wretch.
