RPG class

What class do you usually play in western style games like Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age, Icewind Dale etc.? Why do choose this class and what party setup do you go for? I myself usually play a mage damage dealer and go with one healer and two warriors one of which can be a bard. I find playing a mage more interesting, and I like all this mystic magic stuff.

I usually pick a long range character, like a Hunter or a related class.

I change it all the time, otherwise I get bored.

I usually play a hybrid if the option exists.  Some melee, some magic.  If not, I fall back to mages.  I've been playing magic-users since my old D&D 2nd Edition days in the 80s.

I tend to be rather flexible when it comes to that sort of thing. I do not enjoy challenge when I play games so while I of course prefer to play something that appeals to me I can occasionally end up playing a type of character that makes the game as easy as possible.  
 
But in general I guess I go for rogue/assassin type characters a lot. I also tend to go for those types of characters when playing pen and paper RPGs.

Whatever feels like it takes the most skill to play usually. Rangers/tanks/and healers in general, but I usually give each class a go, unless it's an MMO.

I usually pick a mage. This is mainly based around my belief that being able to shoot fireballs from your hands is cooler than wielding swords or bows.

I choose the warrior/melee class cause I'm boring like that.

I usually play the warrior class first time through. Because I just want to relax and enjoy the story. I'll then go for a rogue or mage in my second playthrough.

I hate being squishy so I usually go with the melee dps or tank type classes. If I want magic I'll get a party member to do it... Playing a mage is fun for a second playthrough though.
