Classes or races you don't play as in RPGs

[kickassfrog]

Warrior. In fact, in Oblivion, I just put chameleon on all my stuff till I had >100% chameleon.
Then I just walked around butchering people who just stood there clueless.

I prefer to be far away enough to have the enemy mostly dead by the time he actually reaches me, so I lose as little health as possible.

 

[tomservo4prezident]

I don't play mages (unless it's a mixed class like paladin). The play style is too slow and I find that you often end up being farmed out to healing duty.

I also don't play dwarves because I find them ridiculous.

 

[pvaglueman123]

Mages, never do i play a mage. i'll use magic to complement my fighting style but never as a main means of attack. I don't think Paralyzing an enemy for 2.5 seconds or whatever quite as effective as shooting it in the head or smashing it's face in.

 

[Shirokurou]

Little people. I can't play as little people.

Hobbits, halflings, gnomes, none of that is bearable to me. Dwarves are borderline at best. I can play any other form of elf, demon, tentacle monster and whatnot, but I can't play a short person. And I'm not quite sure why. I don't have anything against short people, a lot of my friends are short and I find petite girls quite hot. I just can't play a character under 170cm in height.

Same thing...

 

[SoopaSte123]

Healers. Perhaps it's because I mainly play single-player action games so I like to be up close taking and dishing out damage, or perhaps (in MMOs) it's because I don't want to be under-appreciated and blamed for failure, but regardless I never play a healer.

I also don't play pure stealth characters. Characters that can be stealthy (like Rogues in WoW or Infiltrators in Mass Effect) are fine, I mean the characters that can ONLY be stealthy and suck in combat (like rogues I've seen my friends play in Elder Scrolls games). I'd much rather walk around in plain sight with a big weapon and crush anything that tries to attack me.

 

[kommando367]

Races: Warrior based races because I make characters almost exclusively mages in fantasy games.

Class: warriors, stealth rouges, and healers

 

[Dr. wonderful]

Mages.

Because I don't have time to set up a goshdamn spell for the people around me. I prefer Rogue, that way I can save us from traps and backstab me some bitches.

 

[honestdiscussioner]

Never been much into bows and arrows. Straight up warriors I've never liked. Warrior\mage combo is another story. That'd have to be my favorite actually, which is why I freakin' loved being an arcane warrior in DA:O.

I was never really a rouge either until DA2. They really made being a rouge awesome in that game.

 

[honestdiscussioner]

Straight up mages, because I find they get really repetitive in combat.

Wait wait wait . . . a plethora of different spells with wide-ranging styles from damage dealing, to healing, to buffs\debuffs, paralyzing, AoE vs. direct attacks, and creature summoning is more repetitive than stab, slash, stab?

 

[Deathninja19]

Paladin for me, Lawful Good is way too restrictive.

 

[vashthblackseed]

I've played every WoTC 3.5 class and race at least once, but I've never touched a 'GOOD' Drow.
To tired of seeing Drizzt "clones". Thankfully the DMs i run with allow party conflict so whenever I'm ?N or ?E and a 'good' drow joins up, I murder them in their sleep.

 

[masticina]

Oh I like the sneak the using your brain to fix things. So you don't see me play Barbarian or Fighter, really that doesn't attracts me. Sure they have mighty strong attacks.. I rather take targets out using sneaking, guile. Would I be found out, sure .. I have some training in fighting but again I cheat Poison is my way.

And pure mages... boring. Oh wow a huge fireball do it again do it again what you mean you can't do it again and have to rest?

 

[MoeTheMonk]

I almost never play a warrior, fighter, barbarian, etc. If all you do is hit things and unlock talents and feats to help you hit things better, I'm not interested. I pretty much go for spellcasters, and if I want to play melee I'll make a paladin or cleric.

 

[Headsprouter]

never play as a human or a spellcaster. Humans bore me, and mages bore me.

 

[haloman13]

like I said aronians and kajiths people who pick those have isues.

 

[Terminal Blue]

Regardless of game universe and specifics, I generally refuse to play elves. To me, they are always and always will be Tolkien's guilty-racist-wank race. I suppose the one exception to this would be Exalted, but then 'elves' in Exalted are unrecognizable (and are not in fact called elves, ever).

Class-wise. I'm not a warrior type. I can do hybrid classes like paladin or ranger, but even then I have to struggle to take them as far as possible from the hacky-slashy end of the spectrum. Hitting enemies in the face with swords just isn't my thing. I've never done it, and I can't see myself doing so in the near future.

Generally speaking, I like cleric characters (I'm a religious studies graduate, religious characters interest me) and rogues (I played Thief: The Dark Project too much whilst growing up). I've been roleplaying long enough to have concepts for just abut every class and race combo for most games hovering in my mind, but fighter types.. not really.

 

[Azaraxzealot]

I don't play mages. Too not-hitting-shit-with-a-sword for me. Also I can never keep track of all my spells.

also, they don't get kick-ass armor and require too much management that gets in between me and murdering the next ton of dudes who are trying to turn me into a hero-sandwhich

 

[SSX-BlueFlames]

I stopped playing anything elf-related many years ago. At the time, at least, the elves/half-elves were really overplayed and they consequentally started to become uninteresting. Of course, when I DM, you'd think the whole race had gone extinct, since I now have a well-entrenched habit of skipping right past elves, when making characters, whether they be PC or NPC.

Among classes, I tend to play warrior classes least often, though I don't habitually avoid them, like I do elves. Warriors are often one-trick ponies, as they have to specialize or suck, so even if they start out interesting, it can be quite a slog getting through a whole campaign with one. Rogues and casters can be more versatile, without getting beaten into a pulp, so as a player, I'll more often choose a skill-based or casting class. As a DM, I don't mind building loads of warrior NPCs, since they're quick to build, simple to run, and I don't need worry about being stuck with them for the duration of a campaign.

 

[Zaeseled]

I never play warlocks or necromancers (atleast not after Diablo 2) and never ever a dwarf.

 

[Xaio30]

Straight up mages, because I find they get really repetitive in combat.

And how is having a crapload of spells to choose from repetitive?

OT: Cleric. For some reason I don't like to play healer. And i wouldn't be good at the religious roleplaying perspective either.
