As I remember, it was in 2002 or later can't say for sure. One of the devs was mentioning that they want Hunt to be like a Fantasy character called Drizzt do'urden(if you even know who the fuck that was) they even debate to let them use swords(in the end they make rogue more like it, rogues could use bows to) ... So all that"identity" is a paile of crap.
