What characters are we gonna use?

So according to the new video (which is awesome BTW) we are going to have 9 groups to choose from:

Miners
Rebeldes
Dutch's Gang
Walton's Gang
Cattle Rustlers
American Army
Federales
Lawmen
Marshals

Which group are we gonna use?

Well, I think i know which one i'm using. I'm either down for Marshals (of course) or Lawmen.

i think the idea is that you have to start with like the miners and as ytou rank up you unlock the other people, same with the horses

I have a feeling that one of the gangs will appeal to us and our style -- or at least I hope that is the case.

The Wild Bunch sounds like a gang to me. Even though I like the idea of looking more gentlemanly and wearing sharp black clothing.

i thought this was the idea as well but if its not i would probably think it would be cool to be either the marshals or one of the gangs

Not sure we should all be locked into always using the same group. This is the wild west, the only difference between the lawmen and the gangs, is who is wearing a badge.

Hiding behind the badge more like..Sorry Marshal I reckon we will open up more as we go along. Im kinda sad that they have gone with a group theme as i wanted to build my own character like saints row for example. I kinda knew this would happen though. Gang for me all the way.

Haha Dark. Yeah, but theres still quite alot of characters too choose from. But it will kinda suck if you come across another character that looks the same as you...

Yeah hopefully we will be able to stay as the same character every time and it doesn't just give us a random character each time we play. That would suck cus i want people to know what i look like and remember the face that they ride with or that kills them.

Yeah, i know what you mean, you should be able to select the clothing from the selection, but at least customise your facial features and race...

Can we mix and match, or are we forced to share the style of the Posse?

I say just go with what you wan't, because otherwise some of us will end up looking the same.

Yeah i am happy cus the 1up interview Loon showed me has a screen shot

And this shows you can choose a character and you just hope another posse member hasn't chosen that. So who ever your going to be playing with i guess you all decide what characters everyone wants.

Yeah, I'm sure we can cope, after all, there seems to be quite a few too choose from...

I read somewhere there will be more than like 81 online characters, but I'm not sure of that is true yet. But if Im playing online, I wanna be the fat mexican guy with the huge sombrero.

Cattle rustlers is what I'm gonna use

yeah them or the miners

I'm gonna go with the Marshals, federals or lawmen. Maybe someone from the American Army if they look awesome enough.

And if you look at this screen: http://www.1up.com/do/slideshow?pager.offset=1&cId=3170297 it appears there more than just those 9 categories, There is a scroll bar on the left side, looks like theres room from 3 or 4 more types to choose from.
