What is your style of game play? : Othor Games

Are we talking multiplayer or singleplayer here?

In Bad Company 2 I swing between sniper and engineer. In RPGs that give me a choice I go stealthy (unless it's KotOR. Stealth svcks in KotOR).

Sneak all the way, I try to avoid combat which usually fails as both Ob and fo were designed in such a way you couldn't get past anyone without invisibility/chameleon/stealth boy..

Suicide... I run in and take as many people down with me as I can. Maybe not the most elegant playstyle, but it gets the job done while covering my teammate's objectives.

In RPG's I'm usually a tank. If the game supports magic I usually play as a mage. That said, I still enjoy stealth quite a bit.

Immersive roleplay.

Other than that, I'll see what the game offers, and how I feel that day.

Probably start with something close to my namesake though...

edit: ... with Skyrim, I mean. Heh.

Wander around reacting to input. I am more of an explorer which is sometimes bad for scripted quests

Sneaky. Than once caught rambo.

Easily surprised overtly sneaky ninja would best describe my playstyle. I tend to sneak about, hide in dumpsters, etc; however, when an enemy sneaks up on me/surprises me, which they frequently do, I shriek like a little girl and run away.

Glass Cannon! I've always enjoyed playing Mages in the majority of video games that allow the option. Only two real exceptions: Neverwinter Nights I played a Monk(but I also played Wizard as well, along with several other classes) and FFXI, where I played a Monk primarily(but again, I had a Black Mage leveled up near the end of my career).

Reminds me of an ancient 2d pure pvp asteroids-like game I used to play. People tended to try for the biggest win/loss ratios, I initially did but it was too easy and got boring. Your ship had a number next to it which determined how powered up your ship was and thus how many points someone got for killing you, and since players tended to care about the average kills they would purposely ignore people with weak ships to try and get higher average kills. So I would do one of two things on a regular basis. First is I'd suicide myself into the ships of those with perfect ratios so it would kill myself and them, ruining both their ratio and average and pissed them off. Second, if they fired at or missed dropping a mine on an opponent they were trying to kill I would purposely keep myself at minimum power-up and purposely run my ships energy down to zero then hit their fire or mines so they killed me and it ruined their average. That was fun for like 5 years until they finally banned suiciding. :lol:

Before that I'd get spammed with nasty pm's and even on their forum people whined up a storm especially when I had a few friends group suicide in the same two ways. Epic as hell.

:P That is pure win. I love messing with people who take games way too serious, it's great.

I like playing...well let's see...I like playing strange things.

Like in Morrowind my favorite character was a Khajiit Thief, who carried so many stolen enchanted trinkets that he could easily pass himself off as a Mage. Ended up using every cheap little fireball ring and trinket in combat all the time, and it was great fun. I liked seeing a locked door and going "let me look in my bag of tricks, I'm sure I had an unlock amulet somewhere..."

Then in MMO games I find that I'll play characters who spend far too much time crafting or cooking and not enough time fighting, so that I'll be able to make a level 60 cake while not even being level 40 myself.

I like using secondary weapons in FPS games. Backup pistols, shotguns, that sort of thing. I don't know why, but for some reason it works.

In Diablo II I always tried to find some skill nobody else thought of using and build a character around it. Or Borderlands when I made Brick an explosives expert, which wasn't all that common.

I guess it's the novelty of the thing.
