When do we pick our class?

[Kitikira]

Hello, when do we pick our character's class? If we don't will I have to use showclassmenu? Because not making a class is annoying me greatly with the oblivion system. The default class before chosing's skill are none of the ones I use, so my character is incredibly weak trying to cast Firebite while my major skills are Heavy armor and blunt...
Edit: ShowClassMenu automatically crashes Nehrim... It seems this game is aimed around being a warrior, which I really don't want to be...

Hi!
You pick up a class later in the game, during one of the MQ.

And don't worry, I 'm playing for the third time and I've never chosen to be a pure warrior

Magic becomes rather powerful in the endgame. At the beginning you have to do some slashing, though, but you are free to train your destruction and restoration on weaker foes.
