If you could be the protagonist from any game...

[AssassinFisH]

Agent 47. Calm, silent and deadly.

 

[El Doosh]

I would like to be anyone of the following:

1. Ezio Auditore/Altair
2. Cole MacGrath
3. Dante Sparda

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

The Rookie from Ghostbusters with all four Proton Pack modes and all items fully upgraded.

 

[hctib_elttil]

magic the gathering is now a video game
so me as a planeswalker
basicly just me only with god like powers and the ability to summon a horde of monster to do my bidding

 

[scarecrow350]

Gordan Freeman
...i like crowbars

 

[Minjoltr]

My level 85 Troll Rogue from WoW. What's not to love about being 8 ft tall and blue with an orange mohawk, no shoes and a passing resemblance to David Bowie? I could fall tremendous distances, hold my breath underwater for a good five minutes and turn invisible.

 

[Rhope]

Hmm, Nathan Zachary from the Crimson Skies series.

 

[Zorak the Mantis]

Maarek Stele, from Tie Fighter

 

[Evil Top Hat]

I was going to say the prince from The prince of persia, but I know I'd become obsessed with constantly rewinding time every moment to perfect every single thing I said or choice I'd made, probably wouldn't be a good idea.

Does Harry Potter count? Accio girlfriend!

 

[Arnoxthe1]

I'd go for Edison Trent, from Freelancer, seriously, what's there to not love?

You played Freelancer? Brofist!!

Hm, I would probably have to go with...

Ryu Hayabusa. Seriously, that guy slaughters gods for something to do. And I don't want to hear anything about Kratos. He's so SLOW compared to Ryu.

 

[Mandalore_15]

Probably that douchebag from [Prototype] once he's all powered up. He's pretty damn hardcore...

 

[ResonanceSD]

the lone wanderer. I wouldn't need to eat, sleep, or drink. I would never put on or lose weight. If I had a broken bone or got shot in the head I could just take a nap.

Yeah but...apocalyptic environment

 

[Racecar1994]

Alice from Madness Returns. Saving Wonderland? Sign me up.

I'd probably be a terrible Alice; when I took a second trip through wonderland, all I could think about was whether I was still in that burning building in London 0_o. I could never sleep. Love the Yukiko avatar by the way : )

OT: Faith from Mirror's Edge. One huge city, awesome parkour skills, and a whole police squad trying to kill you... life'd be short, but it would never get boring : D

 

[DarkenedWolfEye]

Alex Mercer.
Just ...

[The87Italians]

"Hello I'm Commander Shepard. I died this one time but this terrorist group which I have been fighting against brought me back to life. I also enjoy all the stores in the Citadel."

It's only obvious.

"Hi, I'm Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite post on the Escapist."

Pretty much sums it up, I've had so much fun with those games.

 

[ResonanceSD]

Also, Freelancer isn't that obscure, is it?

 

[Dchao]

I don't know game wise but I would love to be Spike from Cowboy Bebop, chill in space, smoke ciggs and kick ass.

 

[ThePurpleStuff]

Well, I'm not the protagonist, but I'd love to be beside Vyse from Skies of Arcadia with Aika and Fina, become a sky pirate, gets tons of treasure and help people! That'd be so much fun.

Sky pirate? sounds cool. except for the murder, pillage and rape, of course. But *aside* from all of that.

 

[Electric Alpaca]

Noctis Lucis Caelum of Versus XIII.

Of the information I've managed to glean of the limited data supplied by Square Enix so far; he's a prince, host to all manner of ridiculous powers, entwined in a bitter feud with what seems to be a glorious woman (in presence, appearance and power) and is a veritable badass to boot.
