I guess I lean more towards powergaming, but I try to role-play as much as I can. It's all from the Diablo background

I use all the tools that I'm given (no sense in wasting time and effort to get Crom Faeyr if you are'nt going to use it), but I don't do things like say.. create a fighter with a max prof in Warhammers and dual wielding just to Dual Wield Crom Faeyr and Celestial Fury or something. I tailor my group to the circumstances. I might spend an hour rolling up stats, but that's just to get the best out of my character

Playing an Evil-Party really gets the role-playing aspect going I think. The first time around everyone wants to get the powertools and the best parties with the good guys. The second time around, playing an evil assassin really gets you "in-character". Like that quest for Edwin where he tells you to aquire papers for him. Being the evil guy that I was, I had an option to say "ooh look there's a fly on you're neck (quickly and silently break his neck)"
Needless to say, I took it, even though my orders were to do it without bloodshed.
Nifty!
