Sword and Shield, Knight Enchanter, or DW Rogue?

Have planned specializations for the non-Mages? Party members you'd like to keep around? Preferred race/gender? All else being equal, there's ways to make all three fun (and ways to make them tedious, too!).

Probably Reaver for S+S, and either Tempest or Artificer for DW Rogue.

Hmmm, well Reaver works better with zweihanders and Artificer works better with archers. Not that either is implausible, but if you're looking to maximize your potential, that might narrow you down to DW/Tempest or the Knight-Enchanter. The former will pack a lot of offensive oomph while the latter will be more defensive, but also more versatile. It's still hard to say, without knowing more about what you want from the character and the playthrough, but take that for what it's worth.

DW Rogue and Knight Enchanter way more fun that S&S, imo. Leave the tanking to Cass or Blackwall.

I like Knight Enchanter, but it did change how I played the game completely. No need to worry about your companions when you can't die. A double edged sword, perhaps.

There were people here who swore by it, but I'm a 2H warrior fanatic, so never tried it. Depends on what you like, I guess. KE is a lot less fun than it used to be, since you can't spam Spirit Blade any more, but it's still a fun mage to play. Just substitute the Blade of Tidarion or forget about the Knight part altogether and turn your KE into an infinite barrier powered Chaotic Focus pyromancer. DW Rogue is probably the most OP of the three. Either Assassin or Tempest will let you solo any dragon, and when you're up to about level 16 or so, you can speedkill dragons. Of the two, I think Tempest is more fun, but the training quest is a pain in the ass.

I've done 3 complete PTs. My first was a female Qunari 2-handed Reaver, romanced Blackwall. Second was a Human Male Rift Mage, romanced Cassandra. Current is a Female Elf Archer Assassin, romancing IB. So I wanna go back mainly to a melee for the next, hence S+S or DW.

(Archer Artificer is even more fun, but you wouldn't want to double up on arching).
