I will never play a character of any type without first knowing what kind of campaign it is going to be. I'm not saying that I will plan and cater my character to a specific campaign. I just won't play that guy who has no business being in a particular style of game.
My current character started off as a Barbarian. And a half-orc at that. But it soon became apparent that the campaign was one involving a lot of role-playing, and "talky bits." Nothing wrong with that kind of game. It's actually pretty cool most nights. But my character was completely useless unless we were in a fight. Eventually I was able to modify his concept through the addition of other classes. But even then, he's still kind of a "fish out of water" to an extent where it takes away some of the fun.
