Realisticaly: who would you be?

[Iwata]

So, as much as we might like to imagine ourselves as the hero or badass villain in a particular game, it's pretty much a fact that the vast majority of us would fall way too short of that ambition.

So, in realistic terms, who would you be in any given video game? From a nameless background dude getting stabbed by a demon, to some merchant or sidekick, or even Kratos if you happen to be Chuck Norris in real-life, who would you be?

 

[BloatedGuppy]

I would be the nameless background dude being stabbed by a demon.

Actually, it's debatable whether or not the demon would even bother.

 

[krazykidd]

Dammit . I'm thinking of cool characters i would be and i find non . Not many awsome black characters that i look/act like in video games . Hmm the closest i can think of is Sahz from Final Fantasy 13 , when i have my Afro . Now that i think about it , we are quite alike ...

 

[Instant K4rma]

I'd end up being like Joker from Mass Effect. Extremely helpful in one particular area, but aside from that, is mainly useless and only looked to for sarcastic comic relief.

 

[Catfood220]

I would be one of the background characters in the Mass Effect series that never moves or speaks. Maybe working aboard the Normandy.

A hellish existance maybe, but I would probably get a lot of satisfaction knowing that I helped save the Galaxy without actually doing anything.

 

[Hal10k]

I'd be the guy who follows the hero down a dark alley, conks him on the head with an anachronistic lead pipe, and flees the scene. I'm probably going to die anyway, so I'm at least going to take the rest of the world down with me.

 

[Doitpow]

Gordon Freeman, I'm a physicist, and I'm handy with a crowbar.

 

[Tony2077]

random citizen what ever that found cowering in a corner somewhere who then dies shortly after being discovered by the heroes

 

[cennsor]

i've always been pretty sure about this, and for a number of reasons: monkey island 2's wally b. feed. without a doubt.

 

[AceofStaves]

Realistically, I'd be one of those NPCs you see at academies in RPGs, talking about how tough classes are right now. Engineering is awesome.

 

[yuval152]

That random zombie that is trying to eat you.

Or a bartender in fallout.

 

[Popadoo]

The guy who makes a promise to the main character and then pussies out, and runs away.
What? No one lives longer thanks to running into a battle or something.

 

[Rawne1980]

Probably a merc in the fallout world.

Or a town guard.

Whichever had the best pension.

 

[DustyDrB]

I'd be a medic. Kind of obvious, since I'm going into the medical field (physician's assistant). I'd pretty much be a Follower of the Apocalypse.

 

[Broady Brio]

A newbie member in the NCR. I mean, I'd be shit, but at least I'm trying to do good dammit.

 

[Erttheking]

I'm a decent writer, I could pull off a male Emily Wong.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

Probably one of the nameless faceless NPCs that gets run over or bludgeoned to death by a gigantic dildo just for the lolz

 

[Swyftstar]

I'd be the person the hero talks to on the headset, giving them info and screaming their name when I think they died. Snake?! Snake?! Snaaaaaake!!!!
