I used to like playing as a rogue/thief.

Now if I can spellsword in a video game that's most likely what I'll do first.

Fighter/Warrior

Yes I am bland.

>>332485497
Depends, in multiplayer games I'm always the healer or some sort of high damage support, like zenyatta, if I'm alone, I run a stealth build with silenced ranged weapons, with decent sword and shield skills if things go bad

If a game has a class that lets me shroud my weapon in flashy magic I'll definitely take that.

Gunslinger is always fun. Edgy asshole sniper. Wizard party member who doesn't give a fuck about the plot, just his own research and goofing around with magic items. Party member that's just a big dumb friendly and ferocious animal or simple robot.

I've always been a big fan of the armored cleric. It might feel like easy mode at times but it's fun to me to have heals and the occasional holy magic as a backup.

I alternate between spunky short-haired tomboy girl and grizzled, scarred badass grandpa when I play.
I occasionally branch out into other ideas but those are the main two.

Paladin/Cleric/Crusader/Templar/Battlepriest/etc

Whatever they are called its all good to me. I love being a support that can either tank or deal out some decent damage.

Bonus points if them and other holy classes are actually the best at dealing with demons and the undead.

Gish/swordmage

I'd probably like magic too, if it were more than once in a blue moon that a game actually made magic deep and fun. I also like healer but it doesn't work in a lot of RPGs nowadays and is being slowly removed from MMOs.
>>
>>332485497

Dual wielding swordsman.
>>
The guy who either fights with his fists in a game with conventional weapons for their setting, or the guy who fights with conventional weapons in a setting with unconventional weapons. IE, monk in Fantasy setting, Laguna in Sci-fantasy.
>>
It's either swordmage or armored bowman/swordsman combo.

Fuck that faggy "hop around dodgy rogue bowman" shit, I'm a knight engaging you from a distance, where you either get shot up or make the dumb decision to try to close the gap, in which case sword and board motherfucker.
>>
Any fast magic user. Usually results in some class that uses DOTS because it's hard to balance, but whatever. Magic is cool, but stop-and-go casting is fucking boring.

Regular swordman.

Shit's bland but I just like to keep it simple.
>>
A mace wielding, shield carrying, wearing real fucking armor battle priest. I love the idea of role-playing a crusader that doesn't have to follow the strict ideals of a paladin. I'm out to destroy evil. Fuck the law, the gods have my back.
>>
Jack of all trades but with high agility. Or if the game gives me the choice ill use guns.

Guns are the best

Wizard.
Unless what passes for a wizard in the game is a dumb fireball spammer.
Then i'll just play a cleric.
>>
got to either be the half naked girl with huge tits or the gunslinger
>>
>>332485497

Either a thief class that lets me sneak around like a little bitch and stab shit from behind or a heavily armored juggernaut that bashes faces in. I'm a sucker for stealth and rage mechanics.
>>
Depends entirely on the game but generally, I gravitate towards speedier, more combo-oriented characters, especially if they have a lot of mobility as well.
>>
>>332497640

*type of game I mean

The Man With No Name-type cowboy. Even on games like Call of Duty or Titanfall or Halo I do my best to emulate and behave like a ranger taking out the bandits. It's why I completely avoid using my mic on public games, because otherwise they would know I'm an autistic manchild.
