You should have included melee/magic melee/archery and archery/magic.
I had to pick the last option because I will be a hybrid melee/magic. The way the game is set up I would expect more combos of cross skills then purists (just melee/archery/magic).

From what I've heard, you would be stupid not to use archery. Since everyone is said to be able to use everything I really boggle my mind over that exactly EVERYONE will run around with bows... Or everyone choosing "fireball".

I like it old school, so you will see me running in on my horse with a sword in hand... I like to get dirty, so I dont mind it. Occasionally, I might archer it up; but I think that sitting back and just continuously shooting arrows is boring as hell and takes the fun out of games...
hmm, we can add that you have to be good at using the weapon to (player skill). So im gonna need alot of practice, i suck at FPS.
Honestly, I think everyone will have to learn a thing or two. This game does not appear to be the standard FPS fair. Storing spells before releasing them, powering up arrow shots, and stamina control will be something new for many of the FPS crowd as well.
Worse case scenario... Just surround yourself with very skilled and incredibly dumb people. Thugs need a leader to be effective. Why get your hands dirty when someone else can die to further your own cause.

I think everyone will have to have some fundamental knowledge of magic + melee / bow. Anyone remember what it was like to play Asheron's Call 1 without a basic grasp on magic?

I plan on using all three. I want to make an assassin character so melee and archery are obivously needed. I dont know what spells there are for magic but there will hopefully be something for stealthy characters. If not then...I still want magic
Going magic all the way. Planning on using a mix of Greater Magic and Spell Chanting for the healing/buffing that I can give to my team/clan. It's gunna be sweet!

Melee!
But the weapon of choice is just as the "right tool for the job". Without classes you swith to the right weapon : )

This poll is bad. Should include hybrid pvp. Many will use bow untill the enemy come close, switch till melee and fight.

I'm going archer/healer type, if it works out, which I suppose is archery/magic. Whatever the game allows, but I always lean toward support classes.

You can die gloriously and with great honor... I will remove any items of value off your corpse, eat your food, and keep your women warm at night.

I'm probably going to try dwarven craft then switch to heavy armor meele to have some combat fun as well :-) Hunt some orc heads with warhammer?
Probably just all melee. I'll try to get bows for when the target is out of reach but, melee is for glory.

Mainly magic and then some Melee.
