I was speaking with HipMaestro via PM about our different ways of playing.
Since I am player of the P&P version, and since I focus mostly on role-playing, I need a character that I "feel", I know how she thinks and how she can react to different situations. So I tend to use always my favourite character, because I know everything about her. In this way, even if in a videogame, the choices are very limited, I am more able to decide how my character would react.
On the opposite, he likes to try several different characters, classes, abilities, etc, in order to appreciate all the features and the different approaches that the game offers.

I would like to know how do you take side in this battle!

Here's the poll social.bioware.com/2073604/polls/11802/

Usually I play the same character when possible. If I have to roll a new one I usually choose Ranger. However, I have made and played Barbarians and a Cleric. Though I'm a Ranger in heart.

Depends where/what I play.

For online PW play I tend to stick to one character and focus on it for a long time. Like I played a druid on a PW for almost 2 years (playing almost everyday). I also played cleric and bard characters for a very long time(about a year each).

But that was still under NWN1. Nowadays I don't have as much time to devote myself to online play.

For NWN2 single player modules I diversify it a bit, trying out different classes, characters, spells and feats. Sometimes planning what character to play a module with can be almost as much fun as playing the module itself
My favorite classes for these modules include higly-skilled, feinting rogues, Eldiritch Knights, druids and bards.

I've always had a particularly soft spot for druids, but I feel NWN2 doesn't do them justice.

My favorite two characters are Paladin and Ranger. I have played Thief, Cleric, Druid, Barbarian, Assassin (back when it was an AD&D class -- they killed it in AD&D 2.0,) Monk, Mage, Illusionist, Cavalier.

I guess I enjoy sampling from the whole box and not just taking my favorites -- or, how will I really know what my favorites are if I don't at least try out a pretty wide sample. I honestly have no desire to play PrCs. I always felt that, since AD&Ds classes were already running around at: 12 or so, plus what you could get out of Oriental Adventures and Unearthed Arcana, we had plenty to go around.

Back then a Shadow Thief of Amn, a Red Wizard of Thay, a Never Winter Nine, or being a Banite Cleric was playing the NPC roles of secret orders and factions. No big deal. Obviously people like it and options are always nice to have. Me? I'm happy with the base classes and I am not interested really in maxing the dynamics of 'dipping' and multi-classing to get the Uber Build or anything like that.

Voted in your poll.

This. I play mostly single player modules, and I use to play those classes, in addition to Sorcerers and Rangers, usually with some conversation skill. I don't powerbuild to the max, but I like my characters to be effective in the environment I'm playing (i.e. no low strenght Rogues in undead-heavy modules). Depending on the module, I also like Monks, if the starting level isn't very low, or Paladins if I'm feeling goody two-shoes. And I love Frenzied Berserkers in hack and slash modules.

Sometimes I also take anti-annoyance dips in classes like Barbarian, for the faster movement, which makes running around large areas a bit less boring, or in classes with access to Lore, Diplomacy, trap/locks skills, or that kind of things.

So, in short, I like classes that are good in combat, but with some roleplaying options. In the poll I voted Many/all the available classes.

[Quixal]

I confess I do have favorites, in terms of class, personality, background and all the rest but I experiment a lot. I am one of those odd folks who like to create a personality for each character and make decisions based on that rather than what I think is right or metagame based reasoning. Some of these I do fall into more easily than others though.

I suppose those are my pen and paper roots showing.

Just noticed you were talking about RPGs in general, not NWN2. Still, my answer is the same: many/all classes.

As I mentioned in the poll, while I like Wizardy types the best, I try pretty much everthing I can. I have to agree with the following, though:

Yes, I was speaking in general. I am cleric inside and my characters are almost sort of outcast of their own society. In D&D world, I am CG drow that escaped Underdark...

[Olblach]

Well I like both...my main character is a halfling rogue since I was playing P&P but I discovered in NWN1 that people were making characters just for a few days... One of them was playing a murderer and killed his own characters! Another was playing a goblin merchant...



Those special throwable characters aside I am not fond of characters collections..I prefer meet characters with a goal that I can discover and see them evolve instead of permanently discovering new faces...



Two or three is ok though but when it comes to six or more it's too much It makes only problems in PW because of metagaming (people recognise your player name hence change their attitude instead of roleplaying with a brand new character). So...if you make different characters at least make different accounts for them
