But anon, you can only choose one of those things.

if you can't roleplay in fallout 3 then stop playing games

I always like to make Rogue characters because of the freedom and voyerism of it. Stealth usually lets me get into places I'm not supposed to be like higher-leveled areas and the like, or it lets me get closer to other critters and took a good look at them before agroing.

Best part is playing pranks when the game allows it, like tossing objects or leaving dead bodies around for someone to find them. You can stab a guy in the heart but fucking with his head is far harder and far funnier. Mark of the Ninja was amazing for that.

Sadly, most games relegate the Rogue to the crit-build evasion-based DPS that's just a fighter with less health but more damage anyway.

Failing that, the closest thing to a very, very violent Berserker but with a good heart is really fun. You get to bathe in the blood of your enemies, slay demons, slay pussy and feel morally justified!

Another corporate researcher trying to get ideas for free.

And a numale soyboy (or even a talking dog/woman) that "hates daddy because daddy is a superior being to him/her".

Fuck off, mentally ill abomination.

I think of a fun build in terms of gameplay first then come up with a character that suits them, here's some examples:

>Morrowind - Apex feminist

Bosmer vampire witch with 0 strength, no clothes/items, 100% chameleon when still. No spells that summon minions or directly damage health, instead she used stuff like command humanoid spells to get NPCs to kill each other or reflect to get mages to kill themselves. Inventory management needed for quests was done exclusively through slaves who were either bought or made into thralls. The character was a normal Bosmer who was raped and murdered by a vampire and became an angry naked ghost (which is why she's naked, sometimes invisible, and a vampire). She joined the Morag Tong because it was convenient (since she could become invisible and was otherwise an outcast) but developed a taste for killing men as a continuation of her revenge on her rapist, causing her to become an apex feminist so she began her quest to enslave or murder all men. To this end, she joined the Telvanni to become powerful, became their leader, and murdered every councilor except Dratha whom she sympathized with.

>Fallout 2 - God

Dumped every skill point I could into unarmed and got the perk that increases dodge chance by unarmed skill as well as any other perks related to dodging. Then I got the robe from the le epic bridge meme encounter since it had 20 defense and was lightweight. By the end of the game I could almost never be hit by anything and could kill anyone with mere punches and kicks. I pretended the shitty opening sequence didn't happen and I was god intervening in the events of man in order to keep the enclave in check.

>Fallout New Vegas - The Man with the Gun

Got the maximum base critical chance possible to the point where if I used a certain laser pistol that has a really high critical mult I would crit 100% of the time. It had a cowboy hat of some kind and a duster so he became a lone sheriff: judge, jury, and executioner. He would go around judging NPCs for their crimes and vaporizing anyone who he found guilty. His name was The Man and I renamed the laser pistol in fnvedit to The Gun. I pretended a lot of the player dialogue didn't exist in favor of my own, which was just dumb one liners with judicial terminology: *finishes off last raider in a camp* "This court is adjourned"

>decided to wreck havoc on the Capital Wasteland

Did you get a mod that let you kill people, or did you only wreak the corporate-sanctioned havoc?

>female

FUCK OFF

What is fucking wrong with you cucks and why are there so many of you on /v/?

>why would I play anything other than human since I'm human

ahah

If there's anything I learned in RPGs is that playing good is so fucking hard.

Playing good rewards you with probably twice the fetch quests compared to playing evil.

And man, playing evil actually seem to encourage players into thinking laterally and doing quests creatively.

In Fallout 3, my character started out as lawful good. He just wanted to help people out and make the world a better place. Naive and easily taken advantage of, but with the ability and resources to make it through everything the world threw at him.

Over time, I came to hate basically every character in the game. Alignment started moving diagonally down. From lawful good to neutral good to true neutral to chaotic neutral. Eventually it dipped down far enough that I said "Fuck it." and, with hunting rifle in tow, tried to get the whole world to come take me down.

>roleplaying

Nothing gayer. It's a video game, faggot.

I made a murder hobo as my character.

His backstory is that he's a homeless murderer who would murder for money.

If the game mechanics include raping and pillaging he would be happy to go fuck everything up.

I only self insert. That said, I had the most fun doing it in Divinity:OS2. Did a thirsty solider. Went raw two handed and flirted with every girl that I could chat up. My favorite highlight was trying to romance a hot witch, then kissing her, only to have her vomit bees into my mouth.

Also another fun strategy was using the teleporter pyramid offensively. I would split the group apart and leave one pyramid somewhere far away, then send the demon to some enemies and when they aggro immediately go invisible. She would place the 2nd teleporter pyramid down and everyone but her would use it, then she would wait until the end of her invisibility. The enemies wouldn't know what to do so they'd just stand there, meanwhile everyone gets full stamina. When everyone is ready she moves the pyramid to the most dangerous enemy and the group teleports right on top of them, drops an attack, and teleports back in the same turn. It made it impossible for enemies to counterattack regardless of strength or numbers.

The thing that sucks about Shadowrun is you really have to make your character the JOA considering how specialised every other party member is.

>>14827931

This.

I'm enjoying that game in webm. shame it doesn't have online co-op

I tend to have a few character frameworks that work for RPing in most real RPGs. There's the quintessential moralfag goody two shoes, that takes the benevolent path where ever possible. Then a neutral evil power hungry mage/sorcerer/magick user that will do anything in the pursuit of power. Then myself.

I made a rich guy in GURPS near future setting who was the CEO of a self defense wheelchair company. I had to sacrifice most of my character generation points and cripple his legs to be able to make the character. He was also super old so I got more points. His chair was armed with heavy weaponry and could hover but if he ever falls off his chair he's totally useless.

did you finally manage to find someone to hunt with?

>>14829048

Tell me about your character, why does he wear the mask?
