    Late in posting for this, but for TOEE I play mostly Humans, for the extra feats and skill points. I play a mix of sexes, usually a fighting type who is male and the others female. As others have mentioned, the women have the best voices. I have played all the other races and sexes in previous plays in the game for variety, though come back to humans for reasons I mentioned above.
    .
    In PnP games I play all kinds of classes and races, usually enjoying a multi class cleric/? for the ability to heal myself and still bash away or sneak up on the baddies.

    Think I may try a halfling monk/paladin on a 1 character play through and see how that goes. :)

    In DDO, monk-rogue is okay. Straight cleric is supeior to a combo. Maybe add 1 llevel of monk to paladin or cleric for jump, tumble and fast movement.

    FYI: The reason this old post keeps reappearing is because people are still voting on it. It's not haunted. :yikes:

    For the primary (face) character it is a bard or rogue, pretty evenly split between human or half-elf, male or female. Any combination of the six options is common.

    As for the rest, the wizard is 90% of the time an elf , m or f,

    Quite often like to run a 1/2 Orc brother sister team, one fighter one cleric.

    The balance of party are 90% human m/f even mix.

    In a nutshell, in any given game half are male half are female.

    My main character is usually human male (paladin, fighter or barbarian) called “Routa”. Actually, I never use characters other than humans, I must be a racist. And no, “Frost” is not correct translation, for once google gets it wrong…

    I play a good mix of Male and Female but it hadn't really occurred to me until it was asked- my Primary / face character, is always Human.

    I blame the Games Workshop. Fifteen years of active gaming with my own Space Marine Legion following the teachings of the Adeptus Astartes have made me utterly xenophobic. “Death to the xenos!” “Bring on the cleansing fire of the Exterminatus!” Or my personal favorite, the words of Dark Angel Interrogator Chaplain Asmodai: “I will save your soul, even if you die in the process”. Lovely isn’t it?

    I just finished BG1 for the first time with consistent group for BG2 plot, usually I just let the negroid witch and Khalid to die, but this time I used the group intended. Still I could not keep Mazzy with my group in BG2 just because she was too short. A good archer, but a Halfling, didn’t look good in my team, so I had to replace her with the Samoan ranger, at least he is a human. Bigot, I must be.

    Btw. If I would be able to ask a question, I would call for a poll for player’s alignment? I have never played any other alignment but good, who are those that play evil?

    ToEE allows you to play one of 9 party Alignments yet the one that is easiest to play is Neutral Good. It does seem very heavily biased towards Good.

    Most of the enemies are Chaotic Evil so a Lawful Good Party seems the way to go, but many players prefer taking a chaotic good character along for the ride just so that they can use the answering swords.



    I tried an Evil party once, but I couldn't really play it very well. You can't slaughter Hommlet and you can't really ally with Lareth etc. So what do you do? Playing an Evil party doesn't really work properly.

    Dwarven males, actually. In fact, now that I think of it, all my minis are male.
    Dwarves are fascinating to me, because of their bravery, because of their ability to forge things, and because of their "I-don't-have-to-take-any-sh..- from-anyone" attitude.
