I've just started playing TSM and I'm a little obsessed! It's so good! Who is your favorite hero to play? I love playing the Spy and the Bard. They're so different but I really dig their living quarters and their individual traits. But I've gotta say, whenever I have to play the Merchant I get a little annoyed. I don't find that Hero nearly as enjoyable to play.
Thoughts?

I think I like the sword-wielding classes, just for that extra bit of action available. Of those three, I probably enjoy my Spy the most. The crafting end of the profession isn't too demanding, and some of the interactions are fun. And, as my kingdom has developed, in any case, my Spy is definitely the power behind the throne - and, conveniently, my King's current Favorite.
I definitely enjoy the various structures, too, and decorating them in a way that not only serves the needs of the profession, but makes sense in the setting. On the books, I imagine my Spy as a Secretary of State, so the bottom floor of his tower is the Kingdom Archives. I make this room public, and it is where he transacts his official, on-the-record duties.
His actual living quarters are upstairs. I cleared out all the cages and dungeon-y decor and gave him fine, but slightly shabby, furnishings instead. It's a big enough room to include about everything I could want, and nice enough to receive the king for those... private conferences.
Ask me on a different day, and I may have a different Hero I most enjoy. I certainly enjoy the variety, and like different ones in different moods.
After the spy, the blacksmith is definitely my favorite. Something fulfilling about working a forge with a gruff blacksmith... I always give him a sweet wife and he always has TONS of kids that are off at various trade schools. I always end up giving him the wise legendary trait, too.
Honestly, though, all the heroes are a good bit of fun, and I really enjoy how they are set up.
P.S. @Sindocat Awesome remodel of the spy rooms! That's a darn fine idea to stick the business end downstairs and use the upstairs for pleasure. I like it!

And Abbot Jevon, the jovial, if frequently drunk, leader of Kingland's Peteran community:
I, too, have a soft spot for the spy, knight, and bard. I really enjoy all of them, and depending on how I'm feeling is who I choose to play; also factoring in who's in a relationship with who. I'm also quite fond of the healer and the wizard, because both are usually outdoorsy, and I like going around collecting plants and fishing; cause while I'm out, might as well catch some fish, right? Not a big fan of the merchant, just because of that one daily activity where they have to acquire specific things and use the ship to sail places. The bard is usually a drunk floozy, and that's always fun to play.

I think my favorites were always the wizard and the bard. It's just awesome to play as a wizard in just about any fantasy game, and this one's no exception. As for the bard, I love going around and getting inspiration, writing poems and plays with silly names, and performing for other sims. And some of the songs that they play on the lute are just gorgeous.
Ok, I've got a real stupid question
What is TSM?
From what you're all saying, it sounds really cool!

TSM = The Sims Medieval
After the Physician, I think it's a toss up between the Bard, Merchant and Blacksmith. I love gathering inspiration as the bard, writing poems and plays but most of all, watching the bard perform the plays. I really wish this was an option in Sims 3 because I really love it. The merchant is an excellent way of trading with other cities to get some really rare items to sell in the market. I really love that aspect. The blacksmith is also a lot of fun, gathering the rocks and metals, making the armour, swords, staffs etc and selling them. Really engaging and a lot of fun.
I really do enjoy all the heroes. Like others have said, they've all got something going for them that sets them apart from the others. Lovely game
