Realisticaly: who would you be?

[RJ 17]

Realistically I'd be an old school RPG NPC drinking inside a tavern at the bar that every time you click on me I say the same line: "*sigh* Times are tough..."

 

[Kahunaburger]

I'd be the background character having an inane conversation about the mudcrab I saw the other day. Maybe I'd sell some spells, too.

 

[Realitycrash]

I would be a scholar in the local University of Magic.

 

[Tuesday Night Fever]

Anyone remember the level in the original Deus Ex that took place in China?

Remember the part where you infiltrate the VersaLife building?

Remember the poor bastard stuck in a cubical farm doing data entry well past closing time?

That'd be me. /sigh.

 

[Vern5]

I would probably end up as that member of the supporting cast who explains complex, niche, or basic control concepts to the main character.

"That's a demonic cave spider. Stun it with the charge shot when its eyes glow red and then strike it on the-

What do you mean you 'don't know how to charge your shot'? For fuck's sake..."

 

[Saviordd1]

I'd be the guy on the left.

No not Shepard

Farther left.

 

[Squidbulb]

A corpse, probably.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

Some crazed gunman shooting everything and anything because he has long since decided in the mass chaos that is the world that everyone is his enemy.

Hero promptly kills him as he has turned to evil.

_______________________

Be the random chewed up corpse in dead island thats tied to the bed.

______________________

Be the pilot in that jet fighter scene in BF3.



Never the hero too much self sacrifice and risk involved. But I have flown planes and I am a damn good shot.

 

[Auron225]

The Hero - I do stuff like that IRL

Im not sure, depends on the game. If its RPG-ish, probably a merchant or something? With a gun under the counter though.

 

[Strain42]

There's a video game called Devil Survivor. That game is about a total lockdown of all of Tokyo due to a demon invasion.

Would I be one of the powerful demon tamers who took up being a summoner for peace and good? Nope.

Would I be one of the ne'er-do-wells who use their summoning powers to try and get money and food? Nope.

...Honestly, I'd probably be the guy who already had enough food in his apartment to last the week and would just stay in my apartment with the doors locked. You never hear about those people in that game.

 

[theheroofaction]

I would be the guy who randomly pops up to give the hero worthless hints.

 

[skywolfblue]

I'd be one of the resistance fighters following Gordon Freeman and promptly get killed in about 5 seconds.

 

[I-Protest-I]

The skull servitor from Space Marine, only useful for the most menial of tasks.

 

[Carbonyl]

I would be one of those scientists that hangs out in the mission hub and produces all the biochemical-related tech that the hero upgrades. I would hide in a cupboard when the bad guys inevitably attack. My extremely well-honed hide-and-seek skills will save me so I can give exposition about the attack. My conversation with my fellow scientists about obscure Sci-fi shows will run on loop when the hero lingers in the hub building. It'll be awesome.

 

[demoman_chaos]

Expendable goon, fighting to help the player character. If he is good enough, I may survive. But since these are video games, my AI is likely terrible so he lets us all die so he doesn't have to bother with having idiots running around.

 

[gigastar]

At best in a normal universe, a support character.

At best in a universe with magic, God-Dictator of the Land of Evil.

At worst in a normal universe, a mook or redshirt.

At worst in a universe with magic, someone with rank but not in charge.

 

[hermes]

I would be this guy:

 

[kommando367]

I'd be mercenary #3 out of 15 (It's a pretty sincere assassination attempt) hired by the main villain to ambush the protagonist midway through the game.
