If so then...

Final Fantasy XII - Vaan
Oblivion - Runs-In-Circles

3.Walkman (it's this simple, yet addictive Flash game I made, featuring deliberately bad English, and a character called walkman)
2.Morrowind: Talking Mudcrab Merchant. (Met him yesterday... I love him!)
1.King Dedede... because villains NEVER look like that... trust Nintendo to make the villain really funny to look at, and possibly "cute"

The Tourist · Post by **The Tourist** » Sun Aug 03, 2008 10:34 pm

Keeping with the highly irrational choice of ONLY THREE(!) choices (why not five? or ten? or thirty?!):

* Jolee Bindo: KOTOR - cranky, brilliantly intelligent ex-Jedi "Just think of me as any other non-Jedi member of this party. Except with force powers. And a lightsabre". I love FF's, but I doubt there's a single line in the entire series that could compare to Bindo's dry wit and rambling brilliance. BioWare really know how to write characters.

* Alyx Vance: Half-Life 2 - from the minute you first saw her, to the last terrible moments of Episode 2, she's a character you genuinely care about. Funny, intelligent, empathetic, and just a little bit gorgeous (in a non-'sexy', non-busty way though)

* Lara: Tomb Raider TRII,, TR: Legend etc - iconic. Nuff sed. Did you know that Core intended her name to be Laura Croft? But they found out people with American accents - Americans, mostly - couldn't actually say 'Lah-ra'/Lara, and garbled 'Lor-a'/Laura. So they thankfully changed it. Thankyou Americans! ( ...for not actually being able to speak our language properly)

Funny that you say Raynor, Zetal, Sarah Kerrigan's a favorite tragic story of mine. Ahm, if I mention the Pokémon Dragonair, will you all not laugh at me? As for the last, I feel like I'd be a traitor not to name an ES character, so how about Tarhiel? He amuses the heck out of me, like a modern Icarus.

I can't stand the little pest. His voice is as irritating as hell. He's easily my most hated Final Fantasy character.

Now, my favorites:

Edea Kramer/Ultimecia - FF8
Vincent Valentine - FF7
Tira - Soul Calibur series
Lulu - FFX

The Dog Whisperer · Post by **The Dog Whisperer** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 4:46 pm

Well his voice is annoying.... but he's a thief!

The whole ragamuffin street orphan thing is what makes me like him, I don't think there's another FF character like him.

Oh, I say, that's a jolly good choice, but I must admit, I prefer Peter.

Ok... I just had to.

Only III and IV though and they don't count

KOTOR I-II: HK-50, By far my favorite character from any game.

KOTOR I: Jolee Bindo, His story about his friend and (thrash compactor?) was fricken awesome.

Halo 2: The Marines, Cmon anyone who says "Are you made of leprechauns? Cause that was awesome!!" Deserves to be up here.

ironmaiden83 · Post by **ironmaiden83** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 9:12 pm

I'm having trouble narrowing it down to just three, so I'll just list the first three that come to mind.

Master Chief - Halo 3
Skarin - Viking: Battle for Asgard (Yes, I'm a little bit obsessed with Vikings.)

Lego Darth Vader

Edit: Lunar, do you play BFME II on PC or Xbox 360?

The Magic Bum · Post by **The Magic Bum** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 9:54 pm

Yoshimitsu from tekken and soul calibur.
he funny.

Ironmaiden, I play on the 360. Wish I had it for the pc though...

xenolion · Post by **xenolion** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 12:32 am

Well there is one VG character that makes me turn into feral fanwoman - Jin Uzuki from the Xenosaga series. But my all time favorite character is still Lance from Voltron - Yes I know it is not a VG character and I am going off topic, but you are not a fan of a character for over 20 years without mentioning him. (hence my name xenolion)

My favorite female is a tie between Quistis from FF8, and Grace Nakamura from the Gabriel Knight series. There are points in the game(s) where I want to strangle them and others where I applaud them.

Dark Spark · Post by **Dark Spark** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 6:03 am

Beckett from Bloodlines is a kindred spirit in impenetrably dry humor.

Deckard Cain from Diablo. Because when you take on the Prime Evils of Hell itself, rest assured that a dottering old man has got your back— watching your luggage chest safely in town. Pretty good rapper, I must admit.

And Evil Otto from Beserk. Because he reminds us that our time here in Life is fleeting. But take heart, because Death is nothing more than a big bouncing rubber ball with a smiley face painted on it. Relentlessly hunted by an emoticon. Who'd thunk it?
