I tend to have archetypes that I play. They are:

1. Human wizard.
2. Tiefling rogue.
3. Minotaur barbarian. (This was for a very atypical campaign. )
4. Human Half-Celestial paladin.

I don't tend to play clerics very well. Apparently I lack the kind of piety needed to properly portray a servant of the cloth.

Me I prefer Tiefling Warlocks that are Chaotic good;do a 10 lvls of lock and then hellfire.Makes even dragons whimper.Talkin about Dragons I would like to see some Half-Dragons or Dragonborns in some future installment.

Cool -- I have a Chaotic Good Tiefling Warlock as well -- one caveat though, I am also a Bard.  

Tieflings don't seem to be well received throughout the realm though .. but oh well, I still enjoy it.  

I usually play an Elf in my other games (Dragon Age & DDO) .. so I am enjoying playing a different race in NwN.
(Side note, I miss being able to be an elf in Dragon Age 2!!)

Half-dragons or Dragonborns would be great -- but poor Deekin might freak out!!

Tieflings are demon/devil half-breed or actually humans that made pacts with demons/devils during Nethril Empire rule for power,prestige or simply pleasure.So yea other "pure" races wil twist the nose when they see you.That's why I like to put screws into people when i play,one time i am mister nice guy and at other times i am sarcastic bastard.Favorite targets : Bishop,Shandra,Nevalle,Celyn(especially when u meet Myrkul),and I love twisting Torio during court time.That woman makes perfect target for ridicule.

I love playing as a Tiefling. Why? I like the horns and their demonic roots. :-)

I use to love playing them on TT cause you could have a very crazy looking char.  Imagine that hooded robed warrior that just saved the rest of the parties butt by helping out in some fight (party member intro point).  Than imagine when he pulls back that hood to reviel blue skin, snake like eyes, forked tonge, and yes...goat legs.  Than imagine when he drops that fireball in the room so you can all escape....welcome to my Fighter/Mage and the first time my TT friends meet a Tiefling....he can hack them and blow them up just as good.


Though NW2 wise I noticed I tend to make female humans more than anything cause well the avators for most elves just suck and most males are just sad looking or plan ugly.   Wish we had more tattooed and variety faces for the races out there than we do even with community support.   Though secoundly I tend to play elves after humans.  Halflings actualy have pretty decent male and female models...I just haven't found a game yet that I want to play one of the lil folks.  Maybe a good rogue one I hear that is comeing out soon would be fun to play one.

Cool thanks, will have to try some of those ... in all honesty I kinda got forced into the bard part of my character, because I figured out too late why I wasn't advancing in Warlock was because of an alignment shift ... bard was all it would let me take when it blocked warlock ... but it hasn't been that bad though ...

Really do miss how NwN1 was though .. run around in my skivvies & scare the townfolk ... could kill anything & anyone I wanted (course with the understanding that there would be consequences), but ya know sometimes ya just got to let off a little steam (& I could always revert back to previous save after my slaughtering rampage was done!)

Ahh, all this talk is making me want to restart NwN1 now ... where are those disks?!

I will have to try the other races once I finish with my Tiefling, just to see how they look & play out ... by the way, here is a screenshot of my Tiefling:

I had the same problem with my first OC play through.  Didn't even notice the alignment slip until it was to late and I think I went Rogue or something a few levels and just started over with a new Palidin char and played it through.  I realy hate some of the alignment choiises they have.  Like my NE Warlock Tief saved the idiot brothers cause in his mind the more he can get to fight means more time he could loot and steal while every one is distracted, it wasn't a good act, it was something for the better of his own goal.  You know to save his own butt and better his own pockets.   Now if I killed them than I can see getting the evil points....but hay why kill perfectly good cannon fobber?

I been tempted to make a new Tiefling Warlock kinda in the line of some of those options he posted, haven't realy did a good Tiefling play through of any of the models yet.....(good as in good fun play, not alignment as I tend to play NE most the time).


I realy think NE is the bastard child of alignment choises as it's realy the free for all choise, cause what ever you do to better yourself is all good.  Even if your a Rogue in a party of good chars (like one TT game the DM wouldn't allowed evil, but allowed me in)...what is good for the party was allso most the time good for me.  Just had to put up with that pesky Goodie tooshoe Dwarf that allways made me give account exactly what I was doing when I snuck off a few rounds ago and came back with pockets full, a grin on my face, and the head bad guy laying dead in his cavern.....Now that is my fav Half-Elf to ever play, Zaris The Hand (he even clipped his ears so he looked more human to throw people off.)

Hope combos work for and let me know how u like them.Bard wise I sometimes play them but I take Red Dragon Disciple instead of anything else.Turn puny litle bard into wrecking ball especially if u do dual wield

[Centra28]

Dark Elves, always.

If I could imagine myself as anything other than human, it's a Dark Elf. There is something about Dark Elves that I connect with. I think it's the solitude of them. In most games, the Dark Elves are usually outcasts, or shunned by main stream society. There is also somethign mystic about them that draws me in. I don't care about the drawbacks of what profession I am choosing, Dark Elve is my race of Choice. If Dark Elf is not an option, then just Elf will do. I usually can't imagine myself as a human in these fantasy scenerios, and never an orc or anything similar.

I do like the Plane Touched choices in this game. In fact I did start a game as one of them. The Air Genosi (spelling?) I believe it is.

[nino1979]

Played Drow before ;squishy but still more dangerous then regular elf.In Soz for instance I play race based groups so here is drow combo; if evil: Pristess of Lolth,2 Dread fangs,one wizard;if good: Cleric of Elistaree,2 Bladedancers and sorceror/ress.Right now messin wiht Gray dwarfs with Laudegar as Patron.

[Sarielle]

Half drow. I don't play it often, but my favorite character to play is still a half drow bard with a chip on her shoulder. I always felt like being distrusted was sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy with her, and coupled with an impulsive, self-centered personality made for a completely amoral character -- but a damn charming one when she wanted to be.

The trial was SO much fun with her. She WAS guilty of a lot of shady doings, and fared better than some of my goodies because she was such a smooth talker.

...gah. Playing Baldur's Gate already, I have to fight the urge to replay her in something...


EDIT: Fun seeing everyone's choices/reasons

Gray Gnome curiously enough...can't explain why, I often feel myself dragged onto them or Gray Orcs, which I tend to like the same I liked Half Orcs before them.

Loved Shrek 1 XD

[nino1979]

Instead of Gray Orc I would like Orogs tho

[Bayz]

They would have made and excellent race choice indeed. At least if the LA doesn't screw them over

[nino1979]

LA screws,Gray Orcs,Gray Dwarf and drow as well.I think Orog would be fine,except everyone one would freak out if they saw you

Humans. I used to love playing elves and half-elves years back. On rarer occasions I would try halflings too. I still like planetouched but haven't played one in ages. I find humans are my preference because I like their bonus feat and skill points. More importantly I dislike playing characters that are exotic by birth. Often it ends up as a focal point for the character's background, and that can be troublesome for someone who prefers humbler beginnings such as I. A tiefling, for example, has a family history of guaranteed weirdness. While that is fun to play at times, I prefer the flexibility and normalcy of humans.

As well, most classes I enjoy playing are fantastic enough without the racial aspect pitching in too.

this. i also used to love playing exotic races when i was younger to the the "specialess" feeling but not anymore. i'd rather work and earn my respect than have it handed to me.

Generally favor elves (Wood elves in particular because of their melee strengths).
