Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - What kind of char do you play in RPGs? (mage or fighter, good or evil...)

Greetings,

I love Baldur's Gate, KOTOR II, and NWN2. These are PC games based on D&D, hence they allow you to play a character with an "alignment":

lawful, neutral, or chaotic

and

good, neutral, or evil

Before discovering Steve & Erin, I was always a neutral good mage. Now, though, I find myself playing more evil, chaotic, warrior-based chars. (This is my own form of personal development)

I've also admitted to myself that it's possible for intelligent people to play a non-magic user class. I used to think that only real-life barbarians played barbarians.

My question is, what kind of char do you play? Has it changed after finding Steve's blog?

Is your character similar to yourself? I always thought math/programming ~= magic, hence my choice to be a wizard. And I would be a terrible bard.
