It's funny, I've never gotten into multiplayer games myself. All the best gaming moments I've ever had have been single player, either by necessity (my beloved Planescape: Torment is single player only) or because I'm an unsociable wench. :)
Actually, I think part of the reason I've never played much cooperative multiplayer is because I've never really had any friends who wanted to play with me; most of my friends haven't really been the sort who'd be into LAN parties or playing online (although I would like to say that strip Neverwinter Nights PvP is very entertaining, hehe, even if I always end up being the person with all my clothes still on). It's only since I've gotten into Guild Wars that I've been enjoying playing cooperatively with someone else. I bought it for my best friend last week for his birthday so that I could have another person to go questing with and to enjoy the thrill of merciless slaughter of hostile creatures with.
I like to play mages. My current favourite GW character is an elementalist/mesmer, my Nameless One is almost always a mage, and I can't remember the last time I played NWN/BGII/whatever with anything other than a sorcerer or wizard. There's something about the thrill of Fireballing something that makes my girlparts tingle. I almost never play rogues or healer-types. But in PnP D&D, as I think I mentioned before, I much prefer to play fighters/rangers/paladins (yay for two-handed swords!).
And I totally want a Hammer of Not Bickering. It would be very useful for our Wednesday game, which sometimes feel like an issue of Order of the Stick. :)
