im having trouble on picking which one for my next playthrough in Origins i was stupid enough to delete my file before i played awakening so im playing again so i can carry the same file :D

my last playthrough which was my first one i was a Assassin Rogue using double daggers but i feel like being a warrior  and im having trouble on picking which style i should play as

Two Handed- running in with nothing but a giant sword and slashes enemies with powerful strikes now that sounds fun but i hear there slow

Shield Warrior- now this one sounds annoying but so much fun as well bashing your enemies with your shield and hack and slash at them but it sorta seems bland to me like i already have Alistair thats already a good Shield warrior

Archer Warrior- now this one i wouldn't mind trying but i want to ask how well is a warrior class archer? the reason why im thinking of warrior archer is cause well i was already a rogue in my last playthrough and i don't feel like being another one but i still want to become a Archer

Two handed warrior does strike slow, that is true - and I don't think any warrior is as effective in quickly taking out single enemies than a two-dagger wielding rogue asassin. But I found a 2H warrior fun to play - though haven't played it since my first playthrough with a 2H commoner dwarf.

Archers in general are a bit on the weak side in this game, in my opinion, though not having played a complete game with an archer, I can't really say from experience.

What you might want to do is get the mod class and Spezialization Pack - it adds specialiazation options that add new flavor to the classes. The specializations it adds are automatically activated as you gain their atribute / skill / spell requirements, and those requirements (as well as descriptions of class skills) are listed in the readme files that come along with the mod.

Well worth trying. It's compatible with Awakenings, and the DLCs I've played too.

If you're on PC, there are respec mods out there. Start as one class and if you don't like it, respec.

I got bored with a 2H and switched to S&S that way. My only archer was a rogue, so I can't speak to how a warrior archer works.

It's hard playing as an archer in Origins. If you get to Awakening, archer is easy mode there.

I think I've seen a thread like this from you before. You seem to want people to tell you which build is fun or which you'll like best, but, to be honest, none of us can really answer that for you. We can only tell you our personal preferences, not what you would like. What's fun for us might not be fun for you, and what's tedious for us might be a blast for you. 

I would honestly play each build at least up to Ostagar (though preferably through the Kocari Wilds) to get an idea of which build works for you before committing to it. Again, I assumed the 2H Warrior would be fun and S&S ungodly boring until I actually played them both and discovered that it was the exact opposite for me. It might be different for you.

However, you seem to be leaning toward an archer character, so I would honestly try that with an open mind. There are a lot of archer builds online that explain the difference between warrior and rogue (I'll post them in a second) so I would do a little research on that and try it out before letting other people talk you out of it.

Warrior Archer is fine, you do only combat and not lockpick and disarm trap. Your skill progression is also slower than rogue, but like i said, you only focus on combat, so those skills are less important

If you pursue skills, potion making for making bombs is significant, focus on that. Poison don't effect arrow. Survival is for you to detect what level the enemy are for Arrow of Slaying, other than this, Survival is nothing important., you may use Arrow of slaying without it though. And you don't even need skills actually, so just focus on Coercion if you are lazy enough

You may use heavy armor, but i don't recommend it, because it is no use for you, as an archer you are not in the front line, unless you are tanking, but better to give that role to Alistair or someone else.

Mind you most of the specializations for warrior are melee based. So you don't have any choice other than Champion and Templar. Righteous Strike is melee though, but others are utility wise.

Warrior perk also useful, Precise striking although didn't give the critical but it help with +10 attack, it help in early and middle game where your Dexterity is not high, Disengage if enemy attack you, pefect Striking give +100 attack, Bravery is passive, i can say Warrior skill perk is useful for an archer.

But mind you precise striking don't stack with Aim. But for me, Precise Striking is more useful than Aim, and this just personal. Aim is too slow for little bonus. Use Precise Striking with Rapid Shot in early game abandon Rapid shot at all when you get Rapid Shot bow

Other than these, Warrior-Archer is the most easiest class to play in the game, you no need to worry of many things, not like Rogue Archer in which you must decide becoming Cunning or Dexterity and all those min maxing stuffs....just max out Strength and Dexterity, put some Cunning and Willpower, then there you go....

I never heard of using Precise striking but then most people don't use a warrior Archer. I agree with Niazris1 only use rapid shot until you get a rapid aim bow and Aim is too slow.

Precise Striking is good for Warrior-Archer. Keep in mind that Warrior-Archer actually don't need too high Dexterity, because have many warrior skills that help improve attack rating. Perfect Striking give +100 attack. So missing attack is not a problem for Warrior Archer.

Although Warrior-Archer lack critical hit/damage, faster attack cover it all

Furthermore, long bow have direct damage from both Dexterity and Strength, so Warrior-Archer have no problem early on just focus on both then start investing some in Cunning and some Willpower accordingly later on

Unlike Rogue-Archer that have to wait for certain level to switch from Strength to Cunning or 100% Dexterity or such thing, Rogue-Archer must spread attributes or focus attribute making it fragile, make a mistake then the character broken,  complicated to set up, also fragile early on.

Believe me, Rogue-Archer is too bad in early and middle game, low dexterity and no improving attack skill making attack miss too much it is frustrating

Of course if properly set up Rogue Archer is more powerful in the end game due to armor penetration and critical, but to reach there is really painful. While Warrior Archer is more versatile from beginning to the end, and also can switch from range to melee, melee to range, with no problem because of the attributes. Warrior-Archer is more relax than rogue-Archer.
