Playing with Elves has always been my favorite. wielding a two-hander if possible, and otherwise an axe. bows can be used too. when the oppertunity comes, I shall become a wizard, and continue with that path. growing stronger I will learn thief skills and will kill enemies from behind. using 2 pieces of clothes. one is the Wizard robe, the other is a thief suit.

that will be my favorite playing.

Most games i'm an evil necromancer/mage, but in rare cases where I don't like the magic system (Most notably Arx Fatalis, great game BTW) I'm usually a noble thief type. Race doesn't matter but i'm usually human or half-elf.

I like to play a mage and use overlooked spells, or a thief type character.
Race priorities go something like:
1. What I think would be good for the story.
2. The best bonuses for my class.
3. Anyone who is an outcast.
4. Never a short person (e.g. Halfling, Dwarve, Gnome)

ever since i read the Lord Of the Rings 8 years ago (i was 10 years old back then i have loved rough and tough dwarven barbarians. The only problem is that they are often quite boring to play with, no spells only a few powers in most games. But i always play my games twice or more (yes i only play GOOD games) and so there are enough opportunities for the arrogant clean-washed elven mage or something else with nice gameplay but stupid roleplaying

I prefer archer/thieves with some knife fighting skills....I like filching everything that isn't nailed down. Race? Well I love tiefling but any race besides elf would be good.

my opinion since last time has changed a bit.

still my favo class are Elves, and -- ofcourse -- Dark Elves. but now the stealth time is over. I like big, heavy armors, large swords or spears and if possible, one or two spells...

I like the barbarian type or an other savage fighter class there is
as for the class I would love to go for the dwarf or other small tuff skull bashers or the just the oppiste the giagantic skull bashers(.
And otherwhise I always have a kind of affection with the necromancers

i like the highly offensive (but very fragile most of the times ) wizards.
hmm, i do like other classes too, but they're all involving witchcraft
race...i guess the most appropriate every time. and that is usually human(ish).

The filthy, stinky humans. Yeah right, I'll pick an elf any day of the week.
As well as a mage, not a sorcerer. Ahh...the memories. Defeating an army with a wave of my hand. Morrowind is the only exception, I play as a Imperial paladin in that because the magic system stinks to high heaven. Although I played a Dark Elf bard like character once and that was fun.

Race / Class
   

Well for me, it would be as follows:-

Race = Monaco Grand Prix
Class= 5B at Bristol Atrs College (the one with the girls in)


But seriously folks, I tend to side with eleves or half elves and play as Magic users or thief / rogue.

I find the human element too bland. Warriors and fighters etc, well, you can usually just charge and kill, whereas I think with a MU more thought and skill / strategy is required.

Regards,

Hexmaster

This is a hard question for me since I like to switch around alot.

A couple of rules apply though: I usually avoid arcane spell casters ... to much like work in the early stages of a game, and for D&D settings the choice of spells is not always obvious (how the heck was I to know the fearsome slurpy bone breaker was imune to fire and cold?).

So favorite class/race combos (using NWN as basis):

Elven ranger,
Dwarven defender,
Human Cleric,
Human/Elven pally/fighter
Any Barbarian
Elven Thief

Not crazy about monks though ... not all campaigns really support them.

On my 'must try' list is an elven druid.

Most of the time, I will play a dwarf cleric.

If its party based (like Wizardry) I usually try and model one character after me and one after my wife. Usually as two human - warriors types in the group.

For games with parties I have quite often based them on my cats:

Mike the big (not all the bright) good natured, fast fighter
Natalie - the quick sure footed, intellegent rogue type
Madeline - This black cat is a spell caster ... with a concience
CJ - The good natured Cleric
