The Tavern

I have a little list of interesting class/race combos that I want to get wins with, but I find myself hemming and hawing over what to play after a win/lose more often than not. I'm curious how other people pick their characters. What are some characters that you'd like to get wins with under your belt?

I have a simple method: I play species in order and pick the next background I haven't played yet with that species. If I have played all backgrounds for a given species, I pick the background I have the lowest score with.

(Back in the old days when backgrounds were limited for most species, I played them all (there were about 360 IIRC), but since the backgrounds opened up I still have many unplayed ones.)

This also means that most of my wins are the only games I've played for that particular combo.

I just pick some combo and if I stop finding it fun I'll suicide or quit it

I like doing random race/background until something appeals to my imagination. Sometimes I'll lurk people on webtiles and think what they're doing looks fun and try it out for myself.

Same here.
* (searching a fitting name for 2-3 minutes, alway ending calling the char Yandel/Stornor or Hrun) *,and let's roll.

When I can't decide (or otherwise), I often just play something- Wanderer.

Sometimes it ends up with unpromising stats, but sometimes you get amazing start skills or just coast on a +2 weapon or neat spellbooks. It makes otherwise slow starts a bit nicer, and may set up some new combos you wouldn't so often play with that species.

Thanks for the replies. I've decided to try and get one win with every race, recently got a Ho win! Too bad there aren't little achievement type of things that flag on your account for things like a win with every race
