So, I always have the dilema: Fighter or Mage ? I love collecting all the armor and weapons and the hacking and slashing and bleeding and having my way with the women...but, I also love the 'inconceivable" powers of magic (if done right). I've never had love for the rogue other than the backstabs

I'm not one to play it through multiple times...so, first go is what I stick with...

Choose wisely...

btw: Its Fighter, Mage, Rogue if you don't get the quotes...

I don't create toons, I create characters

Rogue. Always rogue.

Yeah I don't get "toons" as a word for characters. Avatar I get (though it doesn't really apply in this case) but toon just doesn't make sense to me.

I never liked "Avatar" so

I dunno...started back in EverQuest when everyone had multiple accounts and were 2 or 3 boxing. We always had to ask, "what "toons" do you want to play?". It was all about shortcuts in chat...."character" was just too long to type so it became TOON!

Magic, always magic. I like being vulnerable to attack so I have to run away a lot, it keeps me fit.

What's wrong with "char", is that a recognised abbreviation? I've used it and been understood.

If ya wanna pick and choose from Urban Dictionary...

Urban Dictionary wrote:Char
While you are screwing your girlfriend, pullout and jizz in your hand, then in a spiderman like motion fling the cum at her in the same way spiderman would fling his web...arm out hand extended, fingers pointing straight ahead.
"man i was screwing my girlfriend last night, when i pulled out and jizzed in my hand and spidermaned her...at the same time i said CHAR...! Bitch."
The correct sound effect to accompany the spiderman...CHAR!
"i chared that bitch..!"

For Toon:

Urban Dictionary wrote:1. A character that one creates in a video game. The origins of this term are unclear, but may be related to the second definition.

2. In the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), an animated film performer who inhabits the human world but is not human (examples: Roger Rabbit, Jessica Rabbit). A shortened form of "cartoon."

Maybe it started from that. EQ started in '89. I feel your first creation is a character/avatar...but the next 5-20 are just toons...

I think avatar was used as the meaning as the physical representation of a god upon a mortal plane long before vidyagames.

I'm considering a wiggly fingers, but I'll probably end up being a bashy. I like the guy under my direct control to be able to mix it. Mostly I just hurt things.

I quite fancy being a magical type, but I know from experience that no matter what I intend to make, as soon as im actually in the game, I make a sneaky bastard.

Usually a Thiefy type for me, mainly because locked doors trigger a snap in the synapse.

Post by **HereComesPete** » November 2nd, 2009, 20:46

Things that enraged me in older muds and p&p things included the inability for anyone other than a rogue class or a mage with a certain spell to open things.

If I'm running a huge, hulking, foaming at the brain baba then I think I might be able to smash the fuck out the entire wooden box of gold and bottles of stuff, never mind the pissy little lock on it.

I also get enraged by high level chars blocked by stuff like 'this shitty little thing is majic door, you can't smash it!' whilst possessing the ability to punch clean through an oak tree.

If the doors is majic how about I just smash through the wall next to it and hack you to bits. Bet you never thought about that one you dress wearing, pointy hatted tart!

I always liked the idea of playing a magey type thing for the big boomy fire, but in almost all games you end up facing something with big sticks hitting you in the face and my generic magic user seems incapable of wearing anything more useful than a skirt, despite being vaguely humans shaped like everyone else who's wearing anti-stick hurty stuff, so I get pissed off and end up playing a warrior.

Oblivion was actually quite nice in that I could play it how I wanted, and the game worked out what I was based on that rather than the other way round. I ended up wearing armour and wielding a phat sword but with one massive ball of fire in yer faice, so I was happy as larry (it's called Battle Mage apparently).

Thats usually explained away as either:

a) armour gets in the way of your magics

or

b) your years of studying books in a musty library has left you too feeble to wear full plate.

It should also be noted that this game appears to be a party based thing, like Baldurs Gate or Neverwinter Nights, so if you have your character as a "noo, dont hit me im only wearing a dress!" type, you can always just buddy up with some meat shields.

EDIT: Lol, meatshield
