Mage. Except when it's a D&D game. Having casts per day doesn't really work well when you can just rest after every fight.

Otherwise mage/cleric.

>>274644952
Sorci
- Charisma based class
- higher number of spells per day
- limited selection of spells, gains spells at each new sorcerer level
- casts spells without prep time

Wizard
- Intelligence based class
- can easily learn new spells
- may know any number of spells
- needs to prepare to cast the spell

Necromancer if it is available. Currently running a Cleric 5/Stormlord 10/Fighter 2/Rogue 1 through the OC

I only like mages if it's true turn based. Otherwise it feels like a clusterfuck (BG series). Similar feelings about thief - backstab is always great in concept but a pain to be assed over positioning. So for something like NWN2 with so many trash mobs everywhere I usually just min-max some fighter/fencer the first run then go back for the mage or thief if it's worth playing through again.

Eh? What role do genders play in game design? I'm not fan of class system and would welcome more point-buy based games. I think Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines had system like that and the only thing influence by clan/class were disciplines and initial point distribution amongst Physical, Social and Mental stats.

Wizard cast magic by understanding the laws of the universe.

Sorcerers cast magic by being so alpha the universe does what they want.
>>
>>274642296
I always have a tough time deciding what class I want to stick to. My first choice is usually a paladin or spell blade. If neither of those, depending on the engine and game, in this case NwN 2 I go wizard of some sort.

Though I end up playing most if not all classes. Even before I finish a play through with another.
>>
I always go wizard or something like that.

Because wizards are cool.
>>
Ranger. I want to feel like Geralt of Rivia or Aragorn. I feel like most rpgs do a poor job with the class though.

I would play monk but I don't like having a lawful alignment.

High defensive capable characters preferably with buffs and other things to make them and their allies tougher. Usually like Clerics or Paladins.

Any support (whether it's just the tank or a buffing healer) class because I like being the party's bitch I guess
>>
As I child I always used to pick Paladin. Which was sort of strange, because everyone else always picked the "Edgy" classes. i.e. Rogues, Unholy Knights, Shadow Warlock etc. etc.

I used to love being Paladin. The Ability to heal myself and allies, the ability to tank any and all monsters. The Ability to solo most content. The Bright Yellow or White Magic and crazy angel looking gear. I also loved the feeling I got when I helped other people.

Though as I have gotten older, I've moved away from it. At first it was Wizards. Simply because High Damage. Then it was Barbarians or Berserkers, because they had a lot of damage but even more maneuverability. Then it was Rangers or Hunters because they usually had the absolute Highest Maneuverability and I loved going fast. But all of that happened in about a year, I really couldn't figure out what I liked the most.

Then I played The Witcher 1. And I loved the idea of a Monster Hunter. A person who creates potions, poisons, uses a magic sword and as little armor as possible. Allowing me to be fast, but deal high damage due to high knowledge of most encounters. And a little bit of Magic here and there to spice things up.

I like playing a Witcher type character. Only problem is, a lot of games don't really allow it.
>>
I usually play warlock becuase people bully me at school because I'm not tall nor strong or nice with people but inside me I feel a fire and anger that one day will come out like a warlock

Warrior, I like the idea of an average dude being able to do extrodinary things. It lets me project myself on the character even more which adds to immersion for me. I'm a big daydreamer so this kind of shit just really appeals to me and it's great because virtually every game has a warrior class. I think dragon's dogma's fighter class was my favorite even though ironically they have a warrior class but its a big old two handed class. I also hate the whole enormous swords/sheilds/armor gimmick, i prefer more stylized, introcate, designs that could be at least somewhat plausible.

>I'm looking at you WoW shoulderpads

It'sNwN2 like the filename says, but it is on a server called Sigil:City of Doors, which is a customized server.

I made a bard in the originan NWN 2 campaign. It was fun, using status effects and having huge arse diplomacy skills.

I wasn't much use in combat though, aside from controlling the battle field which was okay. Plenty of blasters and melee guys to do that for me.

But then in one part of the game you have to go solo, and wouldn't you believe it, the part where you are solo is filled with the goddamn undead, vampires specifically. Guess what undead don't give a fuck about? Status effects, stuns and the like

It wasn't a fun time. I'd be permanently fucked if my inventory wasn't filled with some bullshit damage items that managed to give me enough oomph to get pass that part.

Just multiclass, for example you could be a Wizard/Warrior/Eldritch Knight (spellsword) and Pale Master.
>>
The Kenshiro class aka Monk, Bruiser, Teras Kasi Artist, Hand to Hand Specialist, Brawler.

Or tank if they don't have that.
>>
>>274660598

Or the more obvious necromancers: Evil cleric/Favored soul. Then take some melee with that.
>>
I generally prefer the non traditional mage, the one with the "twist", as they're more unique, interesting, fun to play and unpredictable. Not the arcane wizard but the Necromancer or the Warlock. Maybe a druid as well if he's not just about sparky green projectiles.

I tend to either do a crusader or a trophy Hunter.

Trophy Hunter because I like the concept of taking spoils from difficult foes and mounting them so I could always remember the great fight I had. does anybody a game where I could have trophies

You can take any item that isn't nailed down in Divinity Original Sin, although that doesn't count as trophies exactly, there are unique props in certain boss locations you can take.

You also get your own player sanctuary at the end of time, on a floating rock in space

don't try to multi-class for no reason though, its an easy way to fuck up your character fast

also certain classes don't really lend themselves to multi-classing like monks (not that you should play a monk in the first place)

You collect lots of trophies from strong, unique monsters in The Witcher. You can't mount them anywhere but you can display one at a time on your person, walking around with the head of your foe strapped to your belt.

Yup. The cut plotline would involve her essentially harboring a deity from the plane of fire inside her soul, which is what causes her mood stuff. And she would have gone mental after the King of Shadows stuff and she would have been the actually bigger danger to the Sword Coast, which Sand wanted to warn you about.

I enjoy weird classes like bards if they aren't actually bards - or pet classes such as necromancers if they can be enjoyed without fucked up AI and pathfinding ruining anything.
Best class design I ever saw were bureaucrats or traders in Anarchy Online.
After that it's down to warlock or mage. Then it's probably rogue/thief followed by some sort of monk. Warrior/paladin and especially ranged weapon dudes are always boring to play and I like to avoid them.

>>274663602

Well you're right that monk is shit. Shadowdancer is total crap too, except for the first level because HiPS.

Monk with elemental weapons is okay though, you focus on lots of hits and the damage comes from big enchants.

But HiPS does help monks, if only to add survivability.

Other classes are better though. Especially the divine classes (Druid/Cleric/FS and some prestiges) are very powerful. But NWN2 has shit balance too and 3.5 has some crazy stuff you can do in it as well and some total shit, like being an Archer, which is fine for the first few levels and then it just gets eclipsed by other classes once monsters start getting DR.

Yup, he joins because he doesn't want the Sword Coast getting wrecked.

The actual issue with the game and the reason most people shit on it, is because the guy that was directing it was a fucking faggot and he literally got half-way through development and left for BioWare.
Then the good writers had to salvage the game and they simply didn't have enough time to craft it into the amazing, Obsidian tier, plot it should have been.

Mask of the Betrayer more than made up for that though.
