Roleplaying, no doubt. Though it is fun with the occasional powergaming. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like a bit of a mixture of roleplaying and powergaming. I would never use cheats or anything like that and I do roleplay my characters but I always like to role my stats alot until I have an uber character. So what does that make me?

Roleplaying! It takes a bit of effort to start with, but after a while you get into the spirit of things and it gets a lot easier. I glow with happiness as my good character does good things; I smnarl with embittered hate as my Evil character is hounded out of yet another village. Damn good fun.

A bit of both. Like, I powergame when I know I should, like before I whack somebody's ass

I prefer roleplaying 'cause that is the genre of those games, isn't it? It really isn't fun powerplaying too much. The first time I played each of the games (TotSC, SoA, ToB, IWD, IWD2...) I was powergaming. Just to meet the game and see everything there is. Although I surely missed something.
Now I'm sorry I did it. Roleplaying is much better way to play if you're playing a game for the first time.

Oooops... I'm afraid I'm a powergamer all the way.
I don't play thinking "what would my PC do in this situation?", I think "What Would I do if I Were Him/Her?". And since I'm not in the brave side of the scale, I buff a lot before entering a new area. In 'real life'  , I'd never enter a graveyard littered with nasty beings that can suck your kidneys out of a neckbite without protections, so I make sure I cast spells like Rem. Fear and Chaotic Commands on me before entering. StoneSkin/IronSkins on 100% of the time. Always hidden in shadows or fully invisible. I even launch fireballs to dark corners, juuuuust in case.... (yes, more than a mourner got fried this way, but it's a tough life). I don't engage a fight I can't win, and my motto is "Live Today, Fight Tomorrow". In some quests, for, instance, the "Unseeing Eye", I just sneak past some monsters without engaging. Hey, those things could kill me in a blink!!! Let the strong ones fight, I'll just get the job done the best I can.I play this way because I don't like to reload if my char gets killed fair and square. If it's what I consider an "unfair death" (i.e., soloing and getting charmed, dire charmed, mazed, etc.) I'll reload and fight again... I have never played a Paladin, for instance, because I can't imagine myself as one. I wouldn't feel comfty as one... I never use the word 'cheese' when soloing on Insane -it's called "Advanced Tactics". And I like powerful items that give a lot of protections and/or deal a lot of damage with a minimun effort & risk. It's what I'd do in 'real life'. Just my $0.02, tho...

But roleplaying is why I come back to this game. Otherwise I would have stayed with Neverwinter Nights or Diablo.
