How do you usually pick what characters to use in games with a lot of characters to pick from? Do you prioritize how good their stats are, how they affect your team composition, or just go with the ones you like?

>Hadrick just being there and using magic to support, his decades of knowledge renders him immune to fearing the party's main duo

build man tanky, marian is dps, leaf is utility and out of combat looting, sister is healer, ta'un is a boss debilitator.

good comp with all bases covered except magic damage and cute girls.

Try and stop me.

Kari the Witch is literally Megumeme
Where is my Lalatina?

What is the character food triangle?

Seeing Kevin there, there were actually some gay options made by the same artist - one your more subdued gay you only find out if you dig into his character, and one was expensive rainbow DLC demon boi with pecs almost like tiddies.
They're not in that, though. Dunno why.

When I pick a character I play what looks cool. I don't care if he's the shittiest dude in the game if he's got good lore and voice lines that's who I pick.

>The Man
>Sir Radhan for bantz with my MC
>Caeiphae for tomboy
>Sister Jaeda for waifu with Shadowheart on her shadow like a Stand
That's the team

I didn't want to just retread the same characters. Kevin was an exception because it seemed like a funny joke for anyone that had seen the previous thing.

>The awesomeness is overwhelming

I pick the Uncoiled.

Shadowheart, ‘cuz I like being creepy.

The Man
Sir Radhan
Hidan Firehand
Kari the Witch
Shadowheart

The Man and Radhan are constantly at odds and the party splits at the end of the second act only for Radhan to learn the horrible truth and come riding back to The Man's aid in his darkest hour.

Whatever the starting team is. Very rarely do I switch from that.

>Man
>Radhan
>Firehand
>Hadrick
>Kevin

>Man is an old disgruntled knight with a long career of successes which no one remembers because of one big fuckup at the end
>pulled out of retirement to babysit Radhan, a promising up-and-coming knight who the common people love but everyone hates working with
>Hadrick is an ooooold-ass wizard dragged out of retirement to babysit Kevin
>Kevin and Radhan are the chosen ones destined to such and such and so forth and so on
>play as Man, slowly guide Radhan toward not being such an asshole
>Radhan thinks you're useless because of your reputation and your one Big Fuckup, but eventually comes to understand the hardships and inevitable setbacks and compromises of being a real knight
>Man and Hadrick bond over their shared job of wrangling these two destined retards and their mutual desire to fucking retire and not have to put up with this shit anymore
>Firehand is also there, to set things on fire.

Sounds gay as fuck, gayboy.

Obviously, Waifus are equivalent to sugar and should only be used in moderation.

>the kid, most minmax potential
>doruh, no-hassle big dick cleave tank
>skip ranged, no thank you
>hadrick
>shadowheart to help butcher do his job or save the wizard and me if something gets past him

If healing turns out to be our weakpoint then I'll spec into that as I age, else I'll grow up to fulfill the ranger role but not be an untrustworthy party hazard.
We'll take it slow, that's alright.

why is the ancient wizard literally the old guy from overlord

>The Kid
Is too sensitive and naive, grows and mans the fuck up by the third act.
>Sir Radhan
father figure and mentor, dies midway
>Caeiphae
mother of the group, half the people wish the mc ended with her)
>Kari The Witch
starts in bad terms with mc, falls for him, absolutely despised by half of the fanbase
>Shadowheart
Weirdo who acts friendly with the mc, acts suspicious for most of the adventure but turns out to be the best of bros in the end

Would you guys play it?

The Man (because I want a good story)
Marian Haedon (either her or Sir Radhan and I'd prefer someone who isn't a dick)
Caeiphae (the monster girl)
Sister Jaeda (we really need a healer)
Shadowheart (to fix Marian Haedon)

Oh hey, these were cool.
>Only carryover from older thread is Kevin
Fucking damnit Kevin.

Here's an update to add some returning characters. One problem was that Ranged didn't really have good fits.

Attached: capture.png (2000x1350, 133K)

Little of A&B there, I like to use what I want to but I also try to bring out its effectiveness.
It depends though. Some games beat you over the head with their meta, others let you sort of faff about.

There we go.
>Not making a DLC hero out of slime dog and Rainbow Dragonfuck

I ask again, why does Flower Maiden Mari have no negative traits?

>adds only the characters he drew
Fuck off, attentionwhore

Fuck it, I’m maining Mighty Hotan from now on. That shit-eating grin is glorious.

>Radhan hates everyone minus Jaeda
>Only doesn't kill Shadowheart because he can be Jaeda's bodyguard
>Right before the final boss, Jaeda dies and Radhan has to accept the others for the sake of the world.

I didn't want to misuse other people's work. I thought it was being more respectful not to.

So this is someone copying the broquest idea?

This kind of thread happens every so often. Broquest wasn't even the first, it's just the one that built up the most following since Shwig attached himself to it.

>Responding to Marieltard

Usually i pick characters who are manly, confident, muscular and badass, if they have some humour too great

>Kari the witch
2 of her cons are actually pros.

I mean even if you consider tgat a bad trait its not like it affects his combat effectiveness. It even says hes op magicwise. Probably the best pick for a mage unless you want to stick your dick in the mage and even then half you fags don't mind the gender.

The Kid.
Doruh the Butcher.
Leaftreader.
Kari the Witch.
Shadowheart.

The story is about a kid who is horribly lost who stumbles through situations in which misfits who were easily all one really bad day from being villains find themselves invested in trying to help him find his missing family.

Literally people who've lost or where denied their ability to live normal, non-shit lives fighting tooth and nail to let this kid take his back.

What if you put Doruh on Caeiphae's back with Shadowheart?

I too like angry witches.

>Doruh on Caeiphae's back
You get a centaur with a broken back.

Usually just pick the characters who manage to not be annoying or unrealistic. Which means I usually just don't pay attention to most vidya characters. Vidya writers just cannot into writing.

Best character types (for vidya-tier writing):
1) Anyone permanently angry
2) Anyone with no morals except showing favor to their friends/allies
3) Ultra stoic
4) Narcissists
3) Tomboys

What are some RPGs with fun party banter

Be the change you want to see in the world.

If I had room for a detailed downside, I'd make Mari's spending more time on beautification than studying magic. So, high magical skill offset by not having a lot of magical knowledge.

SIR RADHAN, HONORABLE NIGGERS 4EVER

I remember there being some good banter in Dragon Age: Origins, but that was in 2009, so it may not have aged the most gracefully.

The Girl
Sir Radhan
Caeiphae
Sister Jaeda
Kevin

Sir Radhan will take Kevin under his wing and make an honorable young man out of him. Caeiphae and Sister Jaeda will be disagreeable to begin but soon grow very close. The Girl's general likability functions to allow the rest of the party a little extra leeway with anyone they encounter, as none of them are really people persons.

I thought that might have been it.

holy shit all this time

Wasn't one of the ideas that (if the "game" had ever even been close to being made) there'd have been like a couple dozen different NRFS and you'd get assigned a random one when you recruited them, only finding out which one it was once you got to the end?

I generally prefer all male parties. And theres 3 kinds of groups I'll run if possible. The main being nothing but spell casters every single one with a long silvery beard. The second is big ass orc warriors and the third is a group of idiot kids with swords. Only game I've managed all three in was dragon's dogma. If none are possible I make the party as dysfunctional as I can simply to laugh at the idea of a group that hates every member journeying together.

But what happens if you grab the horns?

All the pluses turn to negatives.

The Man
Marian
Leaftreader
Kari
Ta'un

Kari's summons and Ta'un's CC control the fights no matter the scale and create plenty of opportunities for the other three to go ham on the enemy.

The Kid
Sir Radhan
Caeiphae
Sister Jaeda
Shadowheart

Most of the game would be an escort quest for the NPCs as you act like a dick because you are the chosen one and have been corrupted by the attention from it. Much of the time the kid is actively sabotaging the party from saving the world because he does not want the world to be saved because then his story would be over and he would have no purpose left as the chosen. Wholesome story of kid realizing that people can care about him for more than just his destiny, hopefully before he has burned too many bridges.

Theres literally no downsides to Kari

The Man
Sir Radhan
Caeiphae
Kari The Witch
Shadowheart

The man so we have some crazy shit going down and I can look cool in my armor.
Sir Radhan because he's rad and honorable.
Caeiphae because good archer ontop of being a trusty mount later.
Kari since summoners are usually godlike.
Shadowheart because he's cool as hell.
And some reason I imagine Shadowheart to be a smug fucker that sets off Kari for some well needed comedic relief.
