Druids all the way. I like having animals doing all my dirty work for me. Hearkens back to my ill fated D&D adventures where every problem would be confronted by summoning more buffalo

Battle Mage would be my favorite. Straight up warrior is too simplistic and boring. Mages alone are too squishy for my taste. I like a nice balance between the two.

It's all about the barbarians, baby! All you need in life is to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

Nothing quite like playing a ruthless yet lovable assassin. You get to use all the awesome weapons such as daggers and bows, and you get to be a sneaky bastard, which is always my preferred method of play. Plus they usually get a swath of handy abilities for use outside of combat.

I like being up close and personal kind of guy, but I never liked barbarians, because, well, they are barbarians! Savage, uneducated, bloodthirsty nutters! So, it's knight with sword and shield for me. I also really enjoy stealthy types.

What about you? Why not put in your opinion?

OT: Definitely the rogue, I love the nimble thief types, add some magic to that and you have my favorite combination.
It's because he cares about us more then himself.
Such a great man ... person ... user thing.

OT: For me I like to play as a warrior or paladin.
I always like to get in close to the combat with a sword.

Even if said game was Fallout 3. :D

I voted Knight/Guardian/Paladin since that is usually my first choice since i like a balanced character. But Archer/Ranger/Hunter and Rogue/Assassin/Thief are often my follow up or final tries when playing a game again since i like that these characters are often based on being precise and stealthy.

Usually some type of Battlemage or Spellsword...whatever the hybrid magic-user/warrior combo is for that particular game.

I like using area effect or ranged spells to help soften up enemies and then charge in screaming John Cleese style to finish them off.

Whatever the party needs, and everything myself at least once. I pride myself on being an accommodating jack-of-all-trades.

...but generally, for myself, I tend to go ranged. An Archer's life for me. Because really, why let them get close?

I like to play as the warrior in rpg's with some basic healing spells on the side so i dont have to constantly rely on potions.

Honestly, I like all of them. It depends on the game/setting. But I'm a magician at heart.

All of them. I have a absolutely crippling case of Alt-itis. That's how I managed to play borderlands 2 for 30 some hours without actually getting past the second major area -_-.

I'm a fan of "Battlemages".
I like being encased in steel, able to drive a spear through your brain, but also able to throw magic around.
