gaming Who do you like to play as?

[CastletonSnob 3,074]

When you play a video game, what kind of character do you like to play as? Do you like to play as the kind of character that can take out enemies in 2-3 hits, but moves like a sloth on downers? Do you like to play as the kind who is very fast, but is not good at taking hits? Do you like the kind of character that is well-rounded in all areas?

[Blizzard Wizard 4,928]

I'm multi-class in almost games games with class oriented gameplay which I played.

But my favorite is good armored protector (aka tank) who protects party. Also I'm good as healer.

I like to play more ranged characters but no glass canon plz, I am no good with playing with glass canons.

[Megas 27,618]

As far as crossovers go, I like picking my favorite characters. Anything else, I prefer the quick types

[Big Jack 13]

close combat is allways fun and in games where most people use guns and i get a chance to run around with an axe or sword makes me happy, dont need armor, just alot of speed and agresshion works for me, nouthing is more scary then getting stormed by an angry man with an axe

[Catpone Cerberus 23,594]

My play style is heaviest possible. I like to be one who takes lot of damage and deals lot of damage.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I enjoy characters who have a decent amount of speed and attack.

They don't have to be super fast or super powerful, just fast enough to be able to move around comfortably and strong enough to actually deal some damage to my opponents.  And be able to do that again.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I usually play as a ranged class since they're the least likely to take damage (Snipers, Archers, Mages, ect)

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

I'm a bit of coward, so I like to focus on quick characters who can attack first, fast, from a distance and runaway if needed. Reason why sniper is one of my preferred classes.

Most video games I enjoy playing as a warrior-type class. The Dragon Age series is the only exception where I break this rule and play as a Mage because the writers made mages interesting to me. I enjoy taking part in the controversy that mages have.

[Drunk Not I Am 1,070]

I prefer to go for an all rounder the first play-though i do of whatever game, which usually tends to be my longest of all the runs just because i want to see, do and master everything. Then i branch out and focus on something in particular, like right now in skyrim i'm doing an Illusion/ sneak mage. 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,437]

I try to find a balance but usually I love picking a mixture of ranged combat (archery) and magic, usually dealing in healing spells. If I start Skyrim again, I am gonna go with that sort of class. 

[Hocus Pocus 636]

Any mage-type character.

 

Typically that means I stand in the back-line taking potshots at any enemies and run away the moment anything gets too close.

 

Either that or healers, because I like being the one that decides who lives and who dies.

It depends. On Dark Souls, I change between quick and slow characters. On Dragon Age: Inquisition, my main character is a dual-wield rogue. Sometimes I play as mages. It just depends on what kind of playstyle I feel like going with.

[Celtore 2,770]

I like playing classes with flashy ranged attacks, so usually I end up as some kind of spellcaster. What can I say, warriors and melee combat doesn't appeal to me as much as hurling fireballs.

 

And as for balance, I'm usually a glass cannon. I just have to play more skillfully to substitute for my characters brittleness.

[SugarfootWillie 383]

Stealthy assassin types are my go-to when available. Otherwise I'll be something like a battle-mage.

[Stormlight 1,371]

For gaming, I usually go choose close combat by dual wielding swords, but now I enjoy using ranged weapons like guns for a way to create different tactics. My characters are always quick at attacking, than a slow but powerful tank.

[Scrubbed user 3,416]

I like to be able to take any role I need. Infantry, sniper, run-'n-gun, or blow shit sky-high.

 

In a group, I aim to protect my team-mates at all costs. We got here together, we're gonna leave together.

[Rarity Is Best Pony 634]

I always like to play a support role when in a setting that makes it appropriate. 

[Castle Bleck 19,343]

Either the Mighty Glacier (strong, but slow) or the Lightning Bruiser (well-rounded).

 

The Fragile Speedster (fast, but weak) just doesn't fit my love of good defense.

[Dan. 1,825]

Trickster class or Support. If i'm feeling like it I like being a Tank.

[Radiance64 7,053]

In a fighting game I usually go for a balance between characters I personally like and some of the top characters.

In like an RPG or something I go for power usually.

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

I try diversifying myself. I usually like it when i can combine playstyles like when i can be a tank that can cast defensive and offensive spells or be that character that is smart and lethal by acessing otherwise inacessable areas to unlock powerful equipment to dramatically enhance playstyle effectiveness.

[Odyssey 5,716]

I've always been really good with characters that are either heavy or focus on close combat. Those sort of characters seem to be just easier to use for me compared to lightweight/speedy characters. But on occasion, I also like to play as characters that focus on hit-and-run tactics.

[Discordian 6,015]

When you play a video game, what kind of character do you like to play as? Do you like to play as the kind of character that can take out enemies in 2-3 hits, but moves like a sloth on downers?

I've rarely actually seen this be the case. Usually my heaviest hitters are also some of my fastest characters.
