Here is the most successful and well known party in gaming history. Three close-quarters warriors, one ranged archer, a wizard who doesnt use magic because God told him to, and four halflings who are also melee but have never seen real combat before.
Here's a really well known one that's also basically all warriors of some sort.
Okay and the video games part of your post?

>>728938093>a wizard who doesnt use magic because God told him toWhere is this discussed?
>>728938813That's like 7 / 10 are "warriors of some type"
>>728938093Aragorn is a ranger and also has bonuses to ranged thoughever.
>>728938093Close! Those characters are from a series of books and movies :)
>>728938385>really well knownI'm almost 40 and have no clue who any of these people are
>>728938093The avengers have equally fitting party roles and are objectively more successful and well known.
>>728938385I mean, this was close to the ideal party comp back in those days of D&D.
>>728938093You may not like it, but this is what optimal build and class distribution looks like. >3 high-level carrys: one healer, a CHR/WIS check passer, and a ranged DPS>2 tanks, one pure, the other multi-classed into damage>4 low lvl rogues, the highest diversity of builds here, and plenty of XP going their way, one with three of the BiS items in the realm although one is unusable, he gains the Vial of Galadriel later to more than make up for it
>>728939506meh, Dragonlance was pretty big in fantasy in the 80s early 90s
>>728938093He used right during balrog fight to one shot it using game physics Gandalf was trve gamer all along.
>>728939610which was 45-30 years ago, so it's no surprise it's not known now.

>>728938908Video essays. You expect him to have read the books?
>>728938093And yet they still have fucking high K/D ratio.
>>728938385>really well known oneYou are so disconnected from realityWho the FUCK are these people
>>728941143Hey there's that Gollum game coming out eventually
>>728938908tolkiens letters, unused tales, war of wrath ending with the sinking of an entire continent due to unrestrained valar dick measuring setting a precedent.

>>728941582>ignorant zoom zoom thinks others are 'disconnected from reality' because he doesn't recognize Dragonlanceretard
>>728941750uhm...
>>728938093yeah they just had a little help from THE GOD himself
>>728938093The most successful in their quest, which was a mission of stealth and subterfuge, yes. It wasn't a party meant to walk up to Sauron and kill him JRPG style.
>>728942550>>728938093Gandalf uses magic. There's a scene when they're heading toward Weathertop and they see lightning in the distance and later find out it was Gandalf fighting the Nazgul.
By what metric are they the 'most successful'? Before the first film's done, one and a half of them die and they're all split up
Dndtrannies should never talk about LOTR or Middle Earth or actual art that has nothing to do with their ERP or escapism fetish crap
