Unfortunately, no you can't select your own class. However, it's been said that how you play over time, and what skills you favor over others, predetermine your class, even if there are no "classes". It all basically means that you aren't bound to one playstyle. This way, if you start as a mage but don't like magic, yo ucan quickly and easily become a warrior.
