Do you prefer might over magic or the other way around?

I'd have to say magic, if only because there is none of the fantasy magic kind in our world for as far as I know, and I woulnd't mind trying something new.
That said, after the novelty wears off I'd probably go for might again. I'm a ranger at heart

I usually play a fighter or ranger kit, so Might I suppose. Only because I tend to forego magic spells in favor of my dual wielding spells.

And Minsc approves.

well, i am usually a fighter/mage, so i say both. however, spells run out, the blade doesnt have a maximum amount of hits it can do per level, so i would say that might wins out in that field. if i were going one on one, i would say magic though.

For some reason I always end up taking a fighter class, so I guess it's strength for me. Maybe it's because I'm magic in real life, so fighting is like a fantasy!

I would have to say that they are both useful, but magic wins out, if only because of healing... then of course there are some really offencive spells that brute strength cant beat... having said that... if a wizard gets a sword though his gut... hes no good either...

I prefer the third way : charm, agility, sleight of hand. Let the others do the hard work, and get the loot !
