Haven't played that many deep games. Don't remember much of Baulder's Gate, was like 12 when I played it, though I do remember Minsc (and Boo!) he was kind of cool, Edwin and Viconia (spelling?) too. I remember KotoR2 being mildly confusing, maybe I missed something in Revan everyone else seem to have gotten. And I never got around finishing Jedi Knight, Kyle was awesome in Jedi Academy and what little I played of Jedi Outcast though.
I'll just go with GLaDOS, she was pretty awesome after all ^^

althouhg ive mentioned Jaunty from ShadowMan but Graustein's post 'interesting doesn't mean likable' got me thinking and i instantly thought of the antagonists from the ShadowMan game who call themselves The Five. each of them have back stories that you can read up about but rather than being files you skip through and carry on without giving a second glance to, the files about them actually make interesting reading and gives the characters more depth than just 'another person to fight'.
MAgus from CT. first he's revealed to be a violent psychopath, some monster with the ultimate destruction of humans on it's mind, with no concern for anyone or anything. Then it's only further shown by him summoning a destroyer off worlds tot he planet. What excelence. It's only later revealed, that he's a child, that was living a peacful, life in a super advanced utopia, where he was royalty. By the way this is some 13 thousand years earlier.
Then his mom goes batshit insane trying to harness the power of the same world destroyer, except, wit no that world destroyer crashed there millions of years ago. and it's an aliean just eating the planet. When it wakes up because of his mother previously mentioned bat shit insanity, it sucks everyone in to these creepy dark holes, and bang they are just gone. The last one aside form him self to go was his sister, that he loved with his entire heart.
When he watches his sister apparently die, he gets sucked into a hole, and bang he's suddenly in the future, which sucks, cause he's alone. And wait, now there are creepy monsters, and whats this, shit now I'm being kidnapped by some ugly talking toad. Then he's just screwed up enough to summon this world eater to his castle, to try and kill it himself which, is the same event which represented him as a mindless psychopath. Wait, thats not odd enough?
No when he summons that thing he's sent back 13,000 ears back to when he's a child, except now he's disguised as a prophet, so he as his older more powerful self can try and kill the world eater, before he's sucked into the crappy future, where his sister is dead. And he's a evil general. After he fails and he's still sucked into the future again (his older self flees), and bang now he joins his good guy enemies, and goes to eventually kill this world eater.
Excellent character, favorite character in my opinion ever. I just wish they had continued him into chrono cross like they innitially planned, as guile. I would never not take guile when I started. Anyway, Magus = win = best character ever

Albert Welsker, easily because we don't know anything about him!!!!!
And G-Man for the same reasons.
NIKOOOO BELLIC!!!! FW he has the most awesomly horrible past ever, he's funny sarcastic, and broken all at the same time, no charecter has ever made the gamer want to win more than he, except possibly Max Payne, what the hells with the new Max Payne movie, looks stupid!

This'll sound retarded, but I think Haggard from Battlefield Bad Company is awesome. His accent combined with his pyromaniacal attitude just makes me laugh every time.
April Ryan from the longest journey. One of the few game characters that even resembles a real human being.
Not in Dreamfall though.

Also, your main character in Vampires: the Masquerade - Bloodlines when you are a Malkavian, because you're certifiably insane. However, your insanity gives you insight into the future, which comes out in veiled references in your insane ramblings. And in conversations you can make other people insane with your crazy vampire powers, which leads to awesomeness. Plus the man in the TV talks to you. And you can get into an argument with a stop sign.
I actually liked John (the master chief for those who don't know). call me a fanboy, but from reading the books you get to see more of a side of the chief that you just don't get in the games (which I find dissapointing, e.g. he's actually called master chief because his rank in the UNSC is Master Chief Petty Officer, and is the UNSC's highest NCO rank)TaborMallory post=9.72468.764846 said:
I aslo liked Murmur from Hellgate: London. It's nor really revealed what he is, whether he's just taking advantage of a good situation or whether he's a demon in disguise, but the fact that he could keep up the masquerade up for so long, and that there could be others in the resistance like him, to me (in game proportions) was shocking.
