I am drawn to certain playstyles, which is usually a nimble character with a powerful ranged option, that can also deal damage fast in melee range. So I played the blade a lot in BG2 as a dualwielding caster and then switched to Kensai/Mage. The last playthrough was an Inquisitor though. I always wanted to play an archer type character as well, but the restrictions on attributes always put me off a bit.
I do that right now as well, I play a ranged rogue with a heavy melee component at the moment. I would have liked to try arcane trickster to get a ranged spellcasting component into this, but thief is just so much better with the added bonus action. Those characters just are usually a representation of what I wanted to be in a world like this, so I am very set here.
Issue is, BG3 right now is pretty hard for someone who does not know how D&D works, what the character will and can develop into and what certain changes actually mean and how they transfer into gameplay. So I might find myself with a suboptimally skilled and suboptimally played character, a problem that I never really ran into in BG2, although I knew way less back then.
