Using the Unreal Warfare Engine, Linage II offers 5 distinct races with over 45 different professions available to the player. Even though that may sound overwhelming to the new MMORPG player, character creation has been designed to be simple in the beginning. You choose your, race, your character's sex, and then whether you will be a spell caster or a fighter. From there you can personalize the way your character looks and then get into the game. Once you are in the game world, the power and beauty of the Unreal Warfare engine makes itself apparent. We were taken to several areas in the game that gave us views never before seen in such detail and depth in an MMORPG. The engine also allows greater flexibility when rendering characters and their equipment. In other games when you equip a piece of armor, basically, you are limited to the same character model with a different skin.
