Favourite play styles and why?

Post » Tue Dec 23, 2014 10:15 pm

Generally, I tend to play sneaky archers, and when people get too close, I switch over to a dagger/illusion combo. I like to wear like armor and hoods.

But sometimes I like to learn about other classes and such. I don't really play classes much because I'm always focused on my main RP, I've only ever played as a Paladin, Heavy Armored Warrior and a stealthy mage.

Why don't some people write a small description of their own unique play style and maybe everyone could try it out?

Mine's not overly unique. I prefer a ranger-like character, as I enjoy combat as well as stealthy archery. I don't stick exclusively to light armor as I favor heavy armor as well, though I usually mix sets up, and carry a two-handed weapon as well as a one-handed weapon and a shield for melee.

Nothing special about my play style; arrows from a distance, then pull my weapon of choice out for when they get close. The only other thing I like to do is turn into a werewolf frequently, especially when I know I'm away from townspeople and such, and go on a rampage.

It's either arrows followed up with melee, or werewolf form right off.

I guess the closest thing I have to a favorite playstyle is my test character. The first time I play a game I make a test character to get the feel of a game. My test characters always have a few features in common. They always use a two-handed sword and wear light armor. I basically play as myself: a person who is good-looking, intelligent, perceptive, wise, charismatic, philanthropic, delusional, blah, blah, blah. This character does most of the quests in a game in one play-through.

But the more I become familiar with the NPCs, the stories and quest lines, and know my way around the landscape without getting lost every ten seconds, ect, the more I feel able to roleplay. Each character becomes less and less like me as the years roll by and I play more characters.
