ABSTRACT

Mythological stories hold the answer of understanding different archetypes and they are indeed too numerous to list them all, but in video games, there are not as many in which are experienced or played as. There is an inert power that the Orphan archetype has, an ability to overcome anything and appreciate everyone for who they are. From a druid who casts incantations to the most studious wizard who learned their craft in a library, the Spellcaster archetype is one which is quite powerful. The Athlete archetype is one which includes many different forms of competitive video game play. Warrior energy is usually shunned due to the destructiveness of the Warrior archetype and it is also seen as careless and lacking in thought. Unlike the warrior, melee combat usually spells trouble for the ranger whereas staying at ranged combat decisively ensures victory.
