General Gaming Talk / Re: Who do you play as?

For me it depends on how they fit my playstyle. Most RPGs with character creation (DA, Fallout, ME, etc) my first playthrough I make myself for the most immersion I can get, then on subsequent playthroughs I try things that are as different as possible. So for example, my first playthrough of Skyrim was as a male Nord, but my second was a female Khajiit. I try to only play as human ONCE as there are usually races that are way more interesting, and outside the first playthrough for immersion, who wants to play a boring human? I'm stuck as one of those every day. xD
That's only RPGs with character creation though, in other genres of games where there are only teams or factions to choose from, it all comes down to how they augment my playing and compliment my strategy. I try and play all options a bit to get their feel, then decide from there who to focus on.
TF2 I love Scout and suck at it (so I still do it occasionally for fun) but I tend to gravitate to Pyro for their ambush style (probably because of my style from years of ZPS being the lead zombie) or Engineer cause I love building things.
If we're talking about Starcraft, (the original classic) I played Terran because they just suited my style, I wasn't twitchy enough for the Zerg and the Protoss just didn't feel right. They were way cooler than the Terrans in regards to style and lore, but the playstyle just didn't fit.
