Warrior, Mage or Archer?

[Chaosolous]

Which archetype are you drawn to when you play games?

I find myself almost always going mage and when I try other classes as a first choice, I just can't get into it.

I think this stems from my idea that games and movies should be for things you can't actually do. Magic is something that's fake.

Swords and bows are real and I can actually use them if I want so they don't excite me in a game.

Anyway, what about you?

Tie between mage and warrior for me, it just depends. Magic if done well mechanically, is usually the most fun playstyle for me. If it's not that good, then I just go for a warrior.

Battlewizard, spellsword or paladin is usually what I go for.

But I usually lean more towards magic.

Sorcerer. Or Mage. I enjoy spells - and the idea behind mages. But warriors and archers can have plenty of spell-like abilities as well so it's not like one class is superior.

Mage.

Depends on the game, honestly. Games with more direct action focused combat, I usually like to go for warriors/fighters. Whenever I play a Souls-like, i usually prefer to wear a cool looking armor and hack enemies apart with a cool looking sword. Preferably a katana so I tend to learn more on the Dex side than the Strength side... though a blend between warrior/mage is also fun to play in a Souls-like.

With other games... it depends.

Mage and Archers are better choice for turn based games, I feel.

With regular RPG's, i usually tend to favor magic a little bit more. I tend to play mages in Dragon Age, primarily for lore reasons though.

Games like Skyrim, I tend to go for a fighter with some magic or archery skills for ranged combat.

Druid! If there's no druid class then probably something magical...

Mage. The warrior usually has to kill everything one at a time. Too tedious.
