Who was your favorite character to role play?

[Nortar]

Dwarf cleric in the heaviest armor wielding the largest hammer.

 

[NecroLord]

Paladins can be tricky,depending on your DM.
But I always like playing them. The constant struggle to maintain virtue and honor in the face of evil and brutality. Finding a balance between redeeming evil and those who are worthy or just destroying evil,before it spreads like a cancer and infects others.

I also like the Jedi Exile from Kotor 2(with the very fitting,I think,"Space Jesus" portrait).

My choice of build is Consular/Weaponmaster. Stats are:
Str - 14
Dex - 8(Dump,you will have enormous HP later in the game)
Con - 14
Int - 14
Wis - 14
Cha - 14

 

[Falksi]

Not necessarily my fave, but one of my more memorable crews was the one which I created for Baldur's Gate using various characters from action-based S&S games of the early 90's...

Tank Fighter - Gillius Thunderhead of Golden Axe
Ranger - Tyris Flare of Golden Axe
Thief - The Ninja from Cadash (I named him Ginger)
Cleric - The Cleric from Cadash (I named her Tarty)
Sorcerer - Joe Yomato from Mystic Defender
Mage - The Wizard from The Immortal (I named him Jareth)

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

Here's what I'm playing now

It's not as fun as the Thought controller mecantilist build. But it's pretty good.

 

[Sykar]

Murd E Rhobo was my favorite!

 

[Denim Destroyer]

I always play as a LG Paladin or whatever the games equivalent is. Never could do evil characters and I enjoy the wish fulfillment of putting my life on the line for a righteous cause. With that said I wish more game took the Ultima route and incorporated humility into the Paladin role, e.g. Ultima 4.

 

[Vic]

I'm playing a native american called Walks with Wind in BG:EE right now, just saw that avatar in the custom pack and decided to go for it. Ranger wielding an axe and longsword, nothing special really, but I'm having fun actually role playing the campaign and not powerplaying it for once. I skipped a lot of stuff and missed out on a lot of xp, but Walks with Wind doesn't really have a reason to talk to all the city folk, he's sworn a blood pact to avenge his dead foster father.

 

[Vic]

Zed Duke of Banville not sure why you're giving me a WTF rating regarding a CRT shader, but these old games were never meant to show these ugly uninterrupted color blocks. CRT Royale was ported to Reshade, and it has other CRT presets too, but I don't have a good one that I'm comfortable showing off, so I'm just gonna show my SNES CRT shader:

removed because I use a better preset now but too lazy to upload a screenshot, it's crt-geom-deluxe.

My potentially most fun character to role play was a Skooma addicted Khajit in Oblivion, who financed his or her (I can't remember now) addiction by looting Ayelid ruins. I say "potential", since being Oblivion it was never a bug free or stable experience. I guess I used too many mods in addition to the mod that introduced to Skooma addiction sickness.

 

[buffalo bill]

Neutral Chaotic Evil character as they get the most loot pussy

 

[NecroLord]

Neutral Chaotic Evil character as they get the most loot pussy

It depends on your CE character.
Is he a murder-rape-pillage machine? Or perhaps he is more subtle and calculating ?

 

[Hag]

My over-confident motion-addicted savage in Underrail was really a blast. Was good to dispatch armored futuristic soldier with a dirty lance-wearing girl wearing a rat pelt. Was one of the only time I decided to miss content because of RP.

Age of Decadence is a godsend for RP, since each play can have multiple twists depending on your actions. My nihilistic merchant who let the world burn and poured oil on it while collecting ancient artifacts was a good one.

That does sound fun and a good RP experience. It reminds me of a Vampirism mod I used in FO4 which was lore friendly with Vampirism being like a virus. Your character can become infected in battle with NPC that are infected but its random but the result was I became infected but when I realized what the lifestyle meant in the game I felt guilty and restored a previous game and removed the mod. I didnt like the idea of having to kill people for blood in the hellhole that was the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout

I normally play a CG wizard\battlemage with a Conan type personality meaning honorable but always seeking wealth and adventure and never saying no to a women in distress or a hot barmaid

 

[Kabas]

Class doesn't matter, as long as it's lawful good.
Preferably the type that means a good person who honours his/her word rather than whatever these pathfinder games think lawful good is.

I think all my favorite ones are from kingmaker. In the roguelike mode I had an Ecclesitheurge cleric called Algernon. He was a furious looking old man with long grey hair and a long grey beard. He was a human cleric of Gorum (war god) and his deity's favored weapon was a greatsword. He only had 12 or 14 STR but thanks to a modded feat he could use his wisdom instead of his STR modifier for his attack rolls. He had no AC so I kept him enlarged at all times, attacking from the second row.

Whenever he'd smite an enemy with his Greatsword I'd yell out Al..ger...NON! as the blade connected, or often as not didn't connect. There was something fucked up with the dice rolls in kingmaker meaning that a 19/20 chance to hit only equated to hitting about 70% of the time. So often my battlecry fell flat.

Also in the roguelike mode I had an all halfling party. Drogo the halfling barbarian, Ethyl the halfling paladin, Bradley the bard (or sometimes Inquisitor, I made this party more than once), heather the Druid. They got really deep but I liked them too much so I didn't want to retire them or run them until death because my save would get deleted. So I stopped playing them. I still have the save.

There was Corpse Shitter the orc fighter who had a party of babes. Bertha Bustberth the human cleric, Clarissa Honeybust the human bard and Celestine Chastefanny the Aasimar paladin. The were for a LP I was doing of the DLC and they all died to a fucking dragon right after the tutorial. Ironaman mode so their save got deleted. Don't Ironman if you haven't played something before. Or do, whatever. But you're going to die.

My current favorite is from what I've been playing lately, Elden Ring. Mustache Man, a tractor mechanic from Timaru (a small NZ town). He died and woke up in hell (Elden Ring) as a naked wretch. He doesn't remember his name or much about our world. He knows he was a tractor mechanic, but he doesn't really remember what a tractor is, or a mechanic. It's just words to him. He has a mustache and a penis so he just calls himself Mustache Man.

There's no roleplaying in Elden Ring, but I like to joke to myself that mustache man is all man, the manliest man who ever did man. He's also a noble paladin. He turned into a pure faith banished knight greatsword build. Why did such a noble (and manly) sort go to hell? For being gay.

He was my first character in Elden Ring so I'm kind of attached to him. I've remade him many times as different builds.

Gotta fix that crop.

Multi-class as Druid to become The Beast Master

Fuck, now I want to do this in a game.

I would love to have it in a game where you could be a Druid-type character and "call the wild," but instead of invoking them and them suddenly appearing, animals would appear from the corners of the map and come to your aid, like in a 40s Tarzan movie or something. (Amusingly, PFK had something like that with the charming "feed critters" fluff.)

Reminds me of my ER playthrough.

I found the Perfumer's Hat early on and the bullwhip shortly after. Given that no one's gonna talk to me, my whole shtick is to utterly undo the Shattering and that all apparently involves plundering tombs, I concluded this was all a glorified Indiana Jones flick.

So I made a Faith Caster who used fire on the off-hand and a whip in his main. Dressed in the snazzy Perfumer's Hat and whatever looked closest to a brown leather jacket and went to town as Elden Ring Indie.

It was genuinely fun! My favorite part was playing the Indiana Jones theme while fighting the Godskin Priest in that lighthouse village on the Altus Plateau.

That's a pretty cool RP. What was the damage output like on the Flame Art whip? I've only tried whips a couple of times and while I thought the moveset was great I couldn't stand the low damage. Never tried one on a faith build though, they're mostly used for stat procs.

 

[Laz Sundays]

Since I greatly admire the works of Robert E.Howard,I always like to RP a Barbarian character with a strong sense of tribal honor,but also a distinct bloodlust and frenzy in battle. Not exactly similar to Conan,though,who was a man who possessed many talents and was not prone to mindless rage.
I also like Paladins.

Barbarian

Berserk manga exist. Just a friendly reminder, no further context. If you haven't = have, and all that

The whip was mostly used for procing and stagfering (whips are very good for stagger)


Late game I was more caster than fighter though. I stuck with fire and blood fire for a long time to in the spirit of Indiana Jones (the fire acting as his revolver and guns) but by Mountain Top of the Giants I was using lightning and Order spells too.


I really like whips, they're a great caster side arm, but they're not gonna win battles later on.

 

[Starwars]

I can't remember what class I was playing but one that stands out to me was a goodie two-shoes character that I took through the NWN2 main campaign, but then took into a completely evil direction for Mask of the Betrayer. The ending of NWN2 and the opening of MotB just seems to be such an incredibly shitty situation that I figured it made sense for the character to break and "fall".

All the more enjoyable because it's a lot of fun to play an evil character in MotB.

That's WAY cooler than summoning animals from the ether.

Could even make it so that different areas of the gameworld call up different animals.

That's how it works in PnP 2e. Druid summon animals is restricted to what's actually around. It's also possible, in a Saharan Deser, to have nothing.

 

[laclongquan]

It depend on which game, this roleplay~

My greatest character to roleplay would be a female Courier named Maria. As you can see, getting shot in the face by Benny with his Maria is big hilarity and make it a PERSONAL vendetta to get even. Thus this explain why my Maria act like a mental girl trying to get into Benny's pant, just so he bring her up to his suite and get a Maria bullet to the face. Why on Earth would he think a girl who was shot by him before would be crazy to get into his pant later? Who does he think he is? God's Gift On Earth?

F1, F2, F3 doesnt have more chance on this line of thinking though, since the existing histories for MC in each game is pretty full.

Icewind Dale 1/2 also are bad games to roleplay in the exactly opposite direction: the histories need to fill is huge, 6 plus general party. It take days to fill them properly~
