Warrior, Mage or Rogue?

[Jedamethis]

Yes, I know, done to death, but hear me out.

If a situation happened to arise in which:
1. Magic existed
2. You could get almost free weapons
3. The world needed saving or an army defeating or something

What kind of 'Hero' would you be in real life?

I think I would make a decent rogue, I'm fairly fast, light, and sneaky (The Adorable Pink Hat Ninja!)

Edit: Oh FUCK. Missed a poll.
Sorry guys.

Mage, no question. Not only are they the best, but it's more suited to what I can actually accomplish. I'm out of shape and claustrophobic, so I can't physically beat people down and those helmets warriors wear wouldn't work for me. But I'm intelligent, and in most games intelligence is tied to magical aptitude, so I guess I'm set.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I play Mage for most games, though I do play a Paladin on Diablo II and a warrior on Oblivion because most of the enemies are based on melee in Oblivion and I play Diablo II on a laptop so it's really hard to click. But everything else I play a mage because I like to play a medic in all my other games and mage normally has healing spells. And you can also shoot fire out of your hands.

And I mean that as in that's what I would choose... kind of left that part out.

Can I multi-class? If so, War Mage, specifically Combat Medic. I want to attack with magic from afar, but when the situation arises, I need to be able to whip out a melee weapon to even the playing field. I would also like to be self-sufficient in curing myself, hence the medic part. If it was in-game, my offensive magic and close range combat skills would be somewhat gimped.

If I can only be one, Mage. There's a whole lot of options for magic types that Rogues and Warriors don't have.

 

[JBGigas]

Rogue, who also know how to use magic.

 

[Vromnir]

Depends on how I'm feeling at the moment. Warrior if I want to make sure that the enemies actually die, because if I'm a hero then my allies will probably be worse than me. Rogue (Rouge?) if I felt like avoiding the enemies' heavy hitters and killing them from behind. Mage if I felt like shooting various flavours of lightning. If pressed, I'd choose Warrior simply to make sure they enemy died correctly.

 

[TheZapper]

Although I much prefer rogues, I reckon I'd probably be best sutied to being a mage.

 

[WanderingFool]

One word: Warhammer.

That should answer the question...

 

[Oktanas]

Mage or warrior rarely a rogue

 

[Penguinness]

As the others have said, I'd multi-class. It's not that I enjoy supporting but I feel I'm required to because someone else who does may be bad at it.. so I pick something I like generally (Warrior) but also have something there to back-up if need be (Mage). More of a paladin type really. It fits who I am mainly, and in most games I play.

MMOs - Paladin class
Co-op games (like halo/mw2) - The guy who sits back ready to let you respawn or pick you up
Alien Swarm - Medic - thankfully they're not full support, and act just like the other classes.
Personality - I don't want to help you but I will if I have to

 

[Iron Mal]

In general, warrior.

Specifically, Paladin.

Reason, so that I may go forth, smite arse and look good doing it (also, I could probably handle the 'knight in shining armour' routine pretty well).

 

[imnot]

mage because, well they have powers! warrior just has big stick
and rouge is normally a dime a dozen backstabbing scumbag.

 

[IDIifferentname]

Warrior.
I have a tendency to run screaming at my foes until they flee like frightened goats.
Plus I have a fairly hefty supply of melee weapons on hand already.

 

[Gralian]

Definitely a warrior. I usually play a warrior archetype in any RPG game; and it's just my personality type. I tend to want to get in the thick of it and take one for the team. I like to think of myself as 'heroic' and the warriors tends to suit that image perfectly.

 

[snowman6251]

Rogue. I always play rogues in RPG's. Thief in Oblivion because that's totally something different.

Stealth is always the best approach to a conflict.

EDIT:

Spoiler: Oblivion Quest-line Spoiler

Remember the Dark Brotherhood quest where you have to plant the poison apple on the guy and he eats it and dies. Now that was a badass stealth quest. The one where you drop the moose head on that guy from his attic crawlspace was pretty badass too.

 

[Xyliss]

I'd like to say warrior as that's usually what I play as. But I think I would be far better suited as a rougue as I am fast, agile and can be quite sneaky.

 

[LordOmnit]

So long as magic didn't become ineffective in the end game (I'm looking at you Final Fantasy and glancing at you Nippon Ichi) mage. I would continue to practice my magic and stretch my limits until I could lay waste to all matter within 50 km and then destroy the threat Nippon Ichi style.
