Favorite RPG Character?
« on: February 28, 2008, 02:30:58 AM »
Amidst all the terribly clichéd stock characters and obnoxious NPCs, there are a few hilarious, unique characters in RPGs. Post your favorite(s) here.

I think I will have to go with Minsc from Baldur's Gate. Nothing beats the Miniature Giant Space Hamster.

Minsc is actually my favorite, too!  I loved the way that high-pitched little voice would actually say "squeak" as Boo scuttled away when you tried to move him around in the inventory screen.

Not as funny in BGII, but still good.

He thinks that's an FPS with bazookas.

I think it would be Martin Septim from Oblivion. You don't actually play that character, but his story is wonderfully well done and his voice was done beautifully.

I like the main character I designed for my hobby project (yeah, I'm trying to make a 2D video game) most. He's a lot like me (explains much) but a lot more evil (not clichèe-like evil however).

Damn you indeed, Minsc has been taken, though he is the obvious choice.

At least Jan Jansen has yet to be mentioned.

You know, I haven't played many RPGs (due to a lack of time and patience), and the one's I have played are the big name ones (i.e. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts i.e. Square), so...

For me, probably Squall from FFVIII.
"I believe every single person is extraordinary. The tragedy is that we
have a society where too many people never get to fulfill that
extraordinary potential. My view – the liberal view – is that
government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
