Probably going to have to go with Vivi from Final Fantasy 9. His death actually had some meaning other than being sad. The game was about death, and Vivi's arc was about accepting his own. It didn't hurt that he was an adorable 10-year-old wizard boy. Zidane's death in that game is pretty good...

Good writing as well as enjoyable and/or deep combat.

I still buy every Bioware game. Even though they haven't been remotely good in years.

No offence to the writer personally, but I can't remember the last time a Bioware game had a plot that felt like it had thought put into it. People have a right to complain about a sub-par product.

I don't see the problem with this. Link really isn't characterized much. He's heroic, constantly resolute and a bit naive (especially in Windwaker). None of these traits are really male-specific. It would be a little interesting, and I haven't really said that about a Zelda game in years.

I would love something like that, personally, just because it's very different. I honestly can't think of a single mainstream game with a strong female protagonist who doesn't look like a supermodel.

I guess I'm going to be killed by a Kobold in a demon-infested iron mine; all the while with my friends continuing to fight without the slightest acknowledgement of my demise. This death courtesy of Baldur's Gate.
