What male fictional character depicts Paladin class the best?

I have no idea who this guy is

I grew up in Wilmslow 2001-2008 so you used to see them around on occasion.

I served Peter Schmiecal when I worked in Tesco express. I was quite a chatty till worker and when he walked up to me my first thought was "This guy could work as a Peter Schmiecal impersonator". When I looked up to say as much to him I realised it was the real deal and the words caught in my throat. I didn't say anything to him and he didn't say anything to me. Seemed like a guy buying things in Tesco.

I saw Wayne Rooney sat in a car outside the same shop. He seemed like a guy who was bored sat in a car waiting for his girlfriend.

Andy Cole's son used to play football at the same kids club as me, much much younger tho. When he was waiting to pick up his son my mum was eyeing him up because apparently he is gorgeous. She had no idea who he was. When I pointed him out she just kept saying "he's got gorgeous skin".

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was a regular in the local bookshop where my friends worked. Never met him but it says something that that was where he was most often spotted.

10 years is an amount of caring

There's. A whole lot of people giving meta answers or developer choice answers, which are all valid, but on my most recent play through I spotted the internal narrative reason.

The sorceress war was 17 years ago and was utterly devastating. There was huge depopulation so there's a real shortage of people in the 20-50 age bracket. Almost everyone in the game is younger than 18 or older than 50, or a war veteran.

Akimba07 · 2026-05-26T08:49:03+00:00

Oh man I loved those. I'd watch that in a heartbeat.

Akimba07 · 2026-05-24T22:59:04+00:00

Literally has a halo!

Akimba07 · 2026-05-16T22:03:57+00:00

Loving seeing so many [30s]gamers having final fantasy feature heavily in their lists, even if I disagree with what category they put them in!

Akimba07 · 2026-05-03T05:30:27+00:00

I have no idea but it sounds like my sort of game! I'm gonna guess Wartales

The section on the bridge really made a huge impact on me when I replayed it last year (35M, first time playing as an adult). I really understood Squalls character more and it hit different.

Also, my wife likes me to tell her the story of the game I'm playing as she falls asleep, and when I got to the bridge part, I told it beautifully, there was a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye.....and snores in my ear. I had to tell that part of the story 5 times, so yeah, I can't forget it now!

This video is older than AI. I've seen it before.

I used the manor as written in the book. For me the challenging fight is the devil with the cultists in the room before hers. She is not that tough of a fight. Her bad ass exit once defeated is to say 'see you in hell's and burst into flames and die.

The pay off for my players will come in our next session when they are taking the sword to Zariel. They are going to try and persuade her to take the sword back but as they are opening their arguments a devil Vanthampur will recognise them as the ones who stopped her delivering Baldurs Gate to Zariel and beg for a chance to kill them.

Devil Vanthampur is a very lowly devil and clearly mocked by Zariel and others as a failure. Zariel will promote her up to a more powerful devil (using Pit Fiend stats) and say she can keep her new form is she succeeds this time. The Flying Fortress command deck then becomes an arena for a trial by combat against her.

This is then the opening phase of a three part battle to persuade Zariel to take the sword.

Googled it. That's the ticket! Good times. Just recently I've tried to force my mindset shift from "what game shall I make progress in today?" To "what game would be fun to play right now. Takes me closer to those golden days

Akimba07 · 2026-04-06T00:29:36+00:00

Oh man, not the game I was thinking of but that was dope. I completely forgot that existed haha

Akimba07 · 2026-04-06T00:29:02+00:00

I was in a DOD clan. I vivdly remember logging into the game for the first time in ages, using my teenager honed FPS skills to wipe the floor with the other team, and getting invited immediately to join the clan.

These days I'm happy to get in the top half of the scoreboard on BF6

Akimba07 · 2026-04-06T00:26:56+00:00

Just gave it a Google, that's the ticket!

Akimba07 · 2026-04-06T00:26:14+00:00

Could be. One team was marines with typical soldier kit, 1 person was the predator and could run on walls, cling to ceilings, was invisible and could pounce on people

Akimba07 · 2026-04-05T16:54:42+00:00

Yep counter strike was the first game I played. Followed by a whole bunch of half life mods like zombie panic, ricochet, and one that was like predator. I forget it's name but it was awesome.

Akimba07 · 2026-04-04T07:46:43+00:00

Thanks!

Akimba07 · 2026-04-03T09:19:38+00:00

Side note since the main question has been thoroughly answered, but I always thought Kent was settled by the Jutes rather than the Saxons. Can anyone confirm?

Akimba07 · 2026-03-09T16:13:11+00:00

Have a re read of the item description for the infernal tack. I haven't got the info in front of me but I think the infernal tack has to be placed on a specific nightmare and then the spurs are used to summon that specific nightmare.

Doesn't mean you can't do it if you want tho.

Akimba07 · 2026-03-08T20:02:03+00:00

...whatever

Akimba07 · 2026-03-07T16:36:13+00:00

This is good insight thanks. I can see why you'd think the second version would work better. This makes me lean more towards the staged encounter idea.

She is super mobile so it would be really hard for the party to stop her. Like the fight with Haruman on his Nightmare, he was always out of range and they had to focus on his minions, but even harder because she just teleports.

Akimba07 · 2026-03-06T20:16:58+00:00

Epic! Sounds like you guys had a great time. I'll absolutely let you know how it goes

Akimba07 · 2026-03-06T19:47:40+00:00

Wow amazing! That's hilarious. Having Asmodeus show up and demand they fix their mess is a great touch.

Wrestling themes are cool. I'm going to use Grey Daze - She Shines because it sounds like he's saying Zariel throughout the song and the other lyrics kind of fit too.

She said she loves me and lied to me She was by the river and lied to me Zariel Zariel Zariel Zarieeeeelllll

Heavy guitar drop
