It's difficult to recommend a class because everyone has their favourites. (I had a monk in honour mode) But I do want to point out that HM is not the best mode to also embark on roleplaying (IMO) . Since you can't "savescum" you will have conversations with Gale during the runup to romance, and during the intimate hours, where you will be stuck to 1 option each time. Sometimes you'll be curious to know what would happen with another line, but you won't be able to find out.
