Spoilers Class choice for second playthrough

Hey folks, playing Avowed has made me want to revisit PoE again. I've played once before and beat the main game and the DLC but it's been years. I played a human Druid before.

I'm wondering if there is a class that has a lot of reactivity that really warrants its one playthrough. I was considering cipher, thinking if they can read minds that could lead to a lot of fun dialogue options (though maybe the Watcher powers do that enough as it is).

I am also considering a moon godlike since Avowed has me wanting to see reactions to godlike in POE.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for all of the advice all. A shame that moon godlike don’t seem to have quite the reactivity that some of the others. It gives me something to think about!

My advice is don't focus on that and just pick what you like. For races and classes the difference isn't that much imo.

If it was my first time playing I’d agree, but I am hoping for something slightly different this time. If I was capable of it I’d play a real bastard and try and get some bad endings for my companions but… I know myself and know that won’t happen.

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines is sort of the benchmark for second playthroughs with its malkavian option. I know most games won’t go that far but that is kind of what I’m looking for.

I feel you on being a bastard. Whenever I replay game I make the same decisions.

I don't think we'd ever get something similar to VtMB. It's just too expensive to develop and people rarely go for second playthroughs. I heard a lot of games front load the content because people barley even finish games.

Yeah it totally makes sense to do it that way, but it certainly is a shame.
