Meh. You did not get what wanted to say. I did not say make it similiar to the native. It's just that, playing native as a melee or ranged class (doesn't matter which) is truly fun. As an archer, you send your arrows at exactly where you want them to be. And as a melee class, you can block them with your shield. They are both fun, and have no drawbacks. After all we are playing to have fun. That's simple as that.
Playing as a crippled goblin archer (crpg archer) is not fun really. When there are Aragorns (two handers) slashing their targets with ease and be the top on the scoreboard. Ok let's screw scoreboard as well. Playing is a twohander is more rewarding. You figure out what should be done I don't give much of a shit. But it shouldn't be that complex. The principle of a game should be simple; grab your axe, sword, lance or bow and have loads of fun.
