What kind of NPC would you be?

[Asymptote Angel]

I'd be that completely badass NPC that you see wipe out entire platoons of enemies with virtually no effort, and you think "Wow, I bet he joins my party eventually," BUT I NEVER DO. Instead, I decide to go my own way and kick ass away from your lameness. However, at the end of the game when the super-baddy is about to destroy the world, and the party is on its knees, I'll show up and sacrifice myself to give them the strength to save the world. People will cry hysterically in that final scene.

It's a total cliché, and I want to be it.

 

[ThaBenMan]

I'd just live in a house and not care when the hero strolls in and loots everything.

Or I'd be a skull and pile of bones in the lair of a boss monster.

 

[Erana]

I'd be the Inn keeper/ potion vendor/ frequently-visited healer NPC...
*looks at what she usually does in Fiesta*
Well, I've already kinda got that covered...

 

[meatloaf231]

The dumbass AI escortee/partner you get in those escort missions where the escortee has a weapon and is really aggressive but very frail, and has terrible pathing.

I am the bane of FPS

 

[zacaron]

id be an epic boss in world of warcraft the kind that takes 50 people to kill.

 

[Nugoo]

Two possibilities:

1) One of the guys in the biggest city who doesn't do anything and who nothing happens to.

2) Basically Eli Vance.

 

[josh797]

id be the NPC who fights with you in a FPS. your standing over there behind cover? ok ill go stand in front of you so i can shoot the other guys. BANG! "ow, why do you keep shooting me?" well screw you for killing me when i wanted to see the inside of your gun barrel, restart the mission, now!

FUCK YOU!!!!!!! goes the player

 

[SobanKarso]

I'd be the avatar asking why are you playing this game and question your rationality or the one slaps you for playing WoW.

 

[Seth2448]

easy. if you come 3 feet near me i would stab you with a 12 foot blade and make you watch me eat you

 

[nightmare_gorilla]

hahahaha, adoring fan

 

[rougeknife]

Player: 'Hey'
Me: 'Welcome to (insert city name here)'
Player: 'So, whats sup?'
Me: 'Welcome to (insert city name here)'
Player: 'Urgh...'
Me: 'Welcome to (insert city name here)'

 

[Remag]

Easily the NPC who contains valuable, story boosting information, but you dread talking to because the act of clicking on my name results in 10+ dialogue boxes of random nonsense inbetwix the relevant information you're seeking.

 

[L4Y Duke]

I'd be one of those Rainbow guys from R6:LV.

'cept for the fact that I'd heal the team leader should he ever get shot, instead of leaving him to reload from checkpoint.

 

[BlackWatch]

Murray The Mighty Demonic Skull from monkey islands, quick witted, talented, and enormously able ... but at the end of the day just a useless bloody talking skull!

 

[Anarchemitis]

I'd be an alligator in Red Alert 2.

 

[Muphin_Mann]

I would be Random Super Mook #2 in a small but unbeatable boss fight early on. The PC will eventualy kill the boss that i was accompanying but he will be much weaker and my and Mook 1 will be nowhere in sight.

 

[defining_mind]

I'd probably one of those NPCs that give you a vehicle of some sort, be it a hovercraft or airship or whatnot.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

I'd be one of the wandering tattooists in Fable, but with the ability to join the main character and kick bandit arse for a price.

 

[Xodion]

Ah, so many choices, so difficult...

I'd probably be Xan from Baldur's Gate, I think I could pull off that level of utter hopelessness if I try hard enough .

Or if he doesn't count, since you can kind of play him as a party member, then Noober, also from BG, in Nashkel:

"The people in town say I'm annoying"

"They throw rocks at me. Are you going to throw rocks at me?"

I can't remember how many times I killed him, but it was worth it.

 

[Daved Lodfa]

I'd be one of those no-name guards that appear in various games. Walk in a looped path all day, never-ever bother to look behind me, stop now and then to look at the sky... and always have that Instant Kill move I can use on the "hero" if he ticks me off, even if he's already maxed his lvl and beat the hell-spawn boss who's been holding my countrymen in terror for years. Yeah, that'd be the life.
