"Planning an optimal course of action, often without the distraction of others."
Engineers are often solo gamers who enjoying accomplishing in game goals and missions through careful, deliberate action and planning.
Engineers are focused on achieving goals and power as defined within the context of the game—e.g., getting new skills, defeating bosses, building up an empire. They are largely uninterested in interacting with other players and gravitate towards more single-player genres.
Engineers are thinkers and planners; they prefer games with clear and sufficiently complex rules where planning and clear-headed decision-making are rewarded.
They are more likely to prefer games in the Platformer, Realtime Strategy, Sports/Racing, and Vehicle/Flight Sim genres. Compared to the other classes, Engineers are more likely to be moderately older, and much more likely to identify as hardcore players.
