I'd be the guy pulling the cart. "Bring out your dead." :-)
But honestly I'd like to own a shop in town where I could hire some NPCs to do sales in the front room, and I could sit in back smoking my pipe, cutting leather and pounding rivets to make gear.
Sell decent stuff cheap, but the good stuff is going to cost you.
A politician type class.
Focused on shifting individual reputations that accumulate faction reputations gained through political debates using certain factions ideologies, money in the right places aka bribes or "gifting", spreading your primary factions influence, passing game laws like taxation on certain products or regions. Things like that, mostly as a mini-game or alt character when I get tired of my primary combat character in this world.
Plus, if there is a political character class that implies the world should have a robust political system for players to develop the world and make changes to the games social systems and affect the "physical" world like city building, health, and status in the greater world.
Knowing a wee bit about game development though I know this is asking alot but hey if you never ask for bigger and better things you pretty much end up with the same ol same ol.

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."

This isn't a signature, you just think it is.
You've just described shoppe management in Puzzle Pirates.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Oh my, now you've done it. Looks fantastic. Installed and learning my way around.
Small download, easy on the system, lots of depth, lots of charm. Impressive!
I generally don't like twists on the classes. I've tried a lot of games recently that have gone away from the traditional classes to unique and different ideas. I didn't really enjoy any of the new ones so far.
In terms of characters I like DrizzT, Elminster, Tannis Half Elven, Gandalf, Indiana Jones, Geralt of Rivia, and many others.
I think the best way to approach this is to have a bunch of skills related to each class and let the players create something from them. The original classes/abilites are fairly solid and cover a wide range.
Personally I can't think of much. I guess I have a bad imagination when it comes to creating new classes or I just enjoy the ones that exist already that much.
Honorable mentions to Jonathan Strange who I think is very interesting on the new BBC TV series.
The ability to borrow skill/experience from equipment that was previously used by someone.
Basically be able to use psychic memory of objects.
Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent.
"At one point technology meant making tech that could get to the moon, now it means making tech that could get you a taxi."
For some reason I pictured Harbinger from ME2 making an entrance.
And I'd like to have a Mastermind like the ones from City of Heroes, or some other kind of summoner (possibly a Necromancer).
My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

I would be the tavern owner where tall tales would be told over whiskey and brews. So since no game I know utilizes taverns I'm unemployed.
DMKano hit a home run IMO with his/her suggestion.
Probably a Hannibal Lecter type of character.
"A mage once tried to test me... I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.... FFFFFFFF!"
I am trying to decide what type of character I will play in Revival when it launches 2-3 years from now. I want to try to pursue at least some of the paths described below.
1. Archeologist - going into dungeons with groups to decipher ancient glyphs and discover how to open old mechanisms, identify items.
2. Fortune-Reader - learning how to read the fortune-telling cards to learn about an area, character or item.
3. Astrologist - studying the sky during the nights and learning how the stars move and what significance their position has to other things in the world.
4. Arcanist - being able to read arcane symbols, acquiring knowledge about the world before the Dark Ages.
5. Farmer/Innkeeper - cooperating with a few other players on farming outside the city and running our own tavern inside the city.
6. Whaler - joining a ship crew to hunt for whales.
7. Beastmaster - taming and training wild animals to sell them to the Fighting Pits.
