I like melee combat, but generally i go for paladins/warriors.Barbarians have an aura of limited intelligence floating around them

I'd have to choose either mage or archer.
(my favourite player from Heroes of M&M3 is Sandro. )

im an archer/hunter/rogue player.

always agile, always accurate, good powers over plants and beasts.

Archer perhaps, or a Rogue with solid close combat and sneaking skills. I don't like just standing around beating on someone. I much prefer to either put a shot in their eye from a distance or slit their throat when they don't know I'm there.

Also, Rogues get the most fun out of anyone, since they always get to investigate first, sneak around people's homes, steal from everyone (sometimes their own party too) and of course, are the first ones to the treasure because they can disarm traps and pick open locks. Since they usually can't resolve conflict with straight out combat, it usually means there is alot more thought out role playing involved for the rogue then say, a Barbarian who can just smash things if he gets in trouble.

Add the thief to the poll man, I think that type if character gives you the most freedom(at least in p&p RPG's),and maybe not so much in computer ones, still it's fun too steal an object way before the time you actually should've acquired it...

Paladdin is also a good add coz half barbarian/half cleric.

But i would definitly go with necromancer.(conjurer)

I'd have to say that my favorite is the paladin/cleric figure. I guess I like being the good guy and a tough good guy at that!

Who the *meep* ever chooses the light side of mages....

i love range and obscurity. If theres ever a theif (doesnt even hav to be assassin) il usually choose that. i dont like choosing full blown mage or barbarian cause i dont wanna risk it being a shitty cliche class, which some games make it to be.

Not to mention mages tend to be made so physically weak that, the entire game through, you run chances of being killed by a low-level enemy. For barbarians, the same goes, but against magicians. Not to mention their stealth's not what it should be. Any mission that requires tact or stealth to get the fullest out of it (and almost every RPG has at least one of those) will make you feel handicapped with a barbarian. Not to mention you'll miss out on the magic, which's usually a big part of the game, too. That still leaves out the factor that in most games, either a full-fledged fighter or a full-fledged mage will leave you with a crapload of items you won't be able to use, along with missing out on alot of items due to being unable to open this or that door or get past this or that guy unseen. Only cliché class that's actually balanced out, is a rogue. It's different for Baldur's Gate, though. There're way too many classes there. Last time I played that (several years ago), I remember carefully reading each class's description. I tend to make characters as close to myself as possible, in order to see how I'd do in the game as myself. Ended up having to choose between Jester, Bard, Shepperd and a few others. And the choice became terribly hard. In such cases, a few cliché-types can make the game alot faster
