Usually a hybrid. I'll get the useful sneaky talents like lockpicking and computer usage and such, everything else gets put into rifles and melee weaponry. Rifle to preferably drop them at a range, the melee for if things get....personal.

He likes being quick on the draw, such as incinerating Mr. Burke two seconds before Sheriff Lucas can be shot.
Wait? you can do that?
Yes. Yes you can. Then Sherrif Lucas says something like: "Thanks for saving my hide back there fella. I thought Burke had the drop on me, serves me right for turning my back on him. I must be gettin' slow in my old age."

One of two options:

1. A character who, while not necessarily stealthy, is good at taking out enemies from a distance and can get wherever he needs to go, open the doors he needs to open, and hack the computers he needs to hack.

2. Combat specialist/tank. Heavy weapons.

What if I use a combo of both? Am I just a bit of a pussy/man?
No, that just makes you a pussy in denial.
Hey, I'm not in denial. If I'm a pussy, I'll admit it.

Hell, I know I'm a pussy! XD
Why am I getting turned on by this argument?
Why is my curiosity suddenly piqued?
Because the thought of a woman masturbating to thoughts of (what seems to be leading towards) hot man-on-bishie action is pique-ish?

I like magic. And stealth. So usually a magical thief :p

However, a lot of RPG's you'll see me with about 50 different characters because I can never make up my mind about which dude I wanna play :p

Definitely a Tank. I'm always the melee combat kind of guy. I just like being able to take on droves of enemies myself. Although I do also like it when I can be a tank with a twist, kind of like a Paladin in WoW.

Same here, plus not taking damage from them and being able to eavesdrop on their silly little randomized conversations. I've never been able to level my pickpocket skill, thankfully it's never necessary.

Depends on the game. In your fantasy types like eldercrolls, fable, mmo's ect I usually pick a warrior. It's straight forward and big health pools and heavy armor are reliable. Usually learning to cast or sneak means having to be familiar with a game's mechanics. The front line combatant is an excellent choice for learning the ropes and elderscroll and fable games are nice enough to let you master all the magic or archery you want afterwards. Plus I usually like the look of the heavier armor and melee tends to be more satisfying for me.

In any game with advanced speech options I try to talk my way out of any and all situations. Otherwise what's the point of picking dialogue skills? Usually you get bigger rewards, more satisfying results and occasionally get work from people who'd otherwise be dead.

In fallout 3 I played in heavy armor with accurate weapons and when I could afford it I started sneaking. I'd prefer to pick everyone off from a distance if I could but if heavy combat started I was still able to take some punishment.

You'll find the thought of a woman masturbating is pique-ish to all guys no matter the context lol.

...Quick, I neeeeeeed that gun, hair, and clothing mod.
Gun is the normal Sniper Rifle.

Hair is "Soya Style 2", found in this mod [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=6843], as well as a few others.

Clothing is the "Wasteland Legend Outfit" found in the normal game. The backpack that you don't see very well in that picture is the Blackwolf Backpack [http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2553] mod.

There you go. :)

Rugged survivalist. I try to take a cluster of skills that will help me stay in top condition while isolated for as long as possible - specializing in light, low-maintenance armor, self-healing abilities, equipment repair, and things like Alchemy or Crafting that let me create my own items. Combat-wise this usually translates to a tank-stealth mix, so as not to draw unwanted attention, but hold my own in a straight fight when necessary.

Nice. In the original fallouts the combat armor came with a backpack. It only seems right to restore it as the armor looked incomplete somehow.

Indeed.

Also, here's another picture of the same character, but in daytime instead and wearing some sunglasses. :eek:

Fair point. I believe there are limits to what some guys would do just to see some pantsu. For example, I'm sure some guys aren't as willing to make out with another guy in front of a yaoi-crazed fan girl. And the corollary is also true: guys who do make out with other guys are uncomfortable/annoyed at yaoi-crazed fan girls who try to watch them.

I'll play them all, but generally prefer huge tanky character that aggros everything in a five mile radius, at least in fantasy RPGs or action RPGs or whatever. Fallout is a little different because you aren't supposed to be a "hero", per se. So I've preferred high science, lockpicking, and repair. I just can't let a locked door, chest, safe, computer program, etc go to waste, and I hate having to pay so much to repair armor.

Oh, and sneaking in the shadows up behind someone, waiting for his buddies to turn the other way, and stabbing him isn't more clever. It's just the ability to stare at a screen while nothing happens for minutes at a time and not get bored. Walking in that room and having every enemy focus on you and live through it? That takes timing, positioning, moving, swinging, blocking, jumping, room awareness, potion chugging, and dodging all in the heat of battle with your lifebar dropping - that takes thought. Of course the mage is almost always the most intellectually challenging in these types of games. But yeah, stealth is for people that specialize in patience and a little platforming skill (hopping over three rocks quickly to get to the next shadow).

In mmorpgs I always played tanks. Fighting that boss in a dungeon always felt so unheroic when I'm just standing behind it plinking arrows into it the entire fight.

I'm usually a sneaky character with some magic/misc training as well to make what attacks I get in better, or to add survivability after my initial sneak attack.

Battlemage type. I'll swing my sword at you until you pussy out and run only to be burned by a fireball in the back. :p

Plus Restoration Magic is so useful in combat.

For Fallout, I went Heavy armor and Rifles as a preference. I like clips over batteries and energy based weapons. Call me old fashioned.
