Ashley from Mass Effect.
I liked her a lot because she was a strong opinionated yet likeable character. She had a great sense of humor, real believable personality, a determined sense of duty and a surprisingly sensitive side as well. Sure she had some faults like her distrust of aliens but she never reaches the level of racism and if encouraged the right way she learns to see things in a different light and becomes more trusting of aliens.
Sure she gets a lot of hate but let me tell you, having played the game twenty times and romanced her every single time I can safely say that the 'crazy redneck religious fanatic who can't stop slurring about aliens' simply put, does not exist.
I see her as a strong, independant woman who has very real flaws but also likeable qualities thrown in. I liked her for that because she felt believable, like an actual human being, not merely a one note damsel in distress who was in awe of Shepard's greatness or some oversexualised femme fatale designed to make me get horny. She was just a believable human character.
Honestly, meaning no offence to any fans of any other ladies in Mass Effect, from where I stand none of them even came close to the level of characterisation I saw in Ashley which is why in both my current playthroughs on Mass Effect 2, Shepard merely contently stared at her picture, awaiting the day he could be reuinited with the woman he loves.
Wow, that was pretty cheesy wasn't it? Okay, time for something manly:
I also love the Arbiter because he's just awesome, a deluded protagonist seeking redemption who ends up leading a revolution once he realises the truth.

Handmaiden in KotOR.
Yuna and Tidus from FFX.
Garnet, Beatrix, Freya, Vivi, from FF9.
Midna from Twilight Princess.
Morganna from Dragon Age. Once you got past that frosty exterior, there was a heart of... well, ice, but she's my kinda women. =P
Fin. I think...

Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. He was my favorite character and he kept on getting screwed. First he was used by Organization 13 and forced to kill his friends Xion *spoiler Alert*. Secondly he was forced to become part of Sora despite the fact that all he wanted was to obtain a heart of his own and live as Roxas...
damn straight he was!!!ultrachicken said:
...where on earth do I begin? Or end, for that matter? Most of the games I love most are very character-driven, and I get attached quite easily. I was very attached to, say...Colette from Tales of Symphonia, Saber from Fate/Stay Night, Nayuki from Kanon...
Since I could genuinely go on all day, so I'll just go with one example.
Caring about her was incredibly painful.

For me (and for all of us in general), the more believable and human they seem, the more I can believe they are human. Valve does a good job with there characters in this regard as you have pointed out. I also like Nathan Drake from uncharted because the voice acting is so good.
Most people that play MMORPGs or RPGs in general will tell you that they have felt a deep connection with their Avatar/Character when in-fact there character says very little if at all. This is mainly because they act out the human side through their Avatars.

I guess the TF2 characters, because if they were replaced, it would be a sad day.
Also, hilarious OP is hilarious.

I'm an absolute bastard, so the only person I have ever cared about was Drake. And even then, I didn't really "care" about him, I just felt I could relate to him.
Ramza and Delita in Final Fantasy Tactics
Gabranth from Final Fantasy XII
Roxas and Xion in Kingdom Hearts 358/2
Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed

I am probably one of the few that actually like Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5, mostly because she was a wasted oppurtunity. I want to see more of her personality and skill shine through in future RE games.
On a more widely accepted note, I have a place in my heart for Alyx (I think that's how it's spelt) and Zoey from Half-life 2 and Left 4 Dead.
