I'd like to give mention to MGS 2. Hate escort missions? try an escort mission ­Underwater
Ooooh, I almost forgot about that one. Although that wasn't too bad to me, since there were those air pockets you could use.

Cho from Dead Island.
That stupid son of a *****.
DEAD JUANS! *runs at with a freaking stick*
The Russian dude wasn't much better, but Cho was in a higher level area and actually was the reason I stopped playing the game, well that and the fact that it wasn't good but Cho was the last bit I played.

Any escort mission in Morrowind. Cliffracers + slow NPCs = brain aneurysm.
I accepted an escort mission in some unrelated town that I soon found out took my escort right into the middle of the Foyada Medea (or whatever it was called, the first word that came to mind was Foccacia. And now I want Foccacia). It was foolish, as I was under-leveled, lacking in good equipment, playing a mage (a pretty shitty mage), and my fatigue ran out in all of ten seconds of running. But I was committed, I tried for a while, but eventually I just left her to fend for herself against the zombies and cliff racers.

Oddly satisfying just to go 'A FUCKA YOU!'
Ah yes, Morrowind escort missions. Terribly slow and unarmed NPC's, horrible AI, and let's not forget the NPC's constantly yelling "Wait for me!" and "Where are you going!?" Also, the rewards were terrible. 10 bloody septims. Seriously?
Also, it's Foyada Mamaca. It's the name of a river and the region around it, if I'm not mistaken.

Lets see here...

I could say Dragon's Dogma, because the npc that you have to shuttle to a certain location more often than not will always try to stand next to you, and there are only about 1 or 2 that will help in a fight. And often times they will want to go somewhere that is either on the other side of the map, or at a place filled with powerful baddies. Even then, things can just happen, for instance I was taking Aldero -I think- to the Shadowed Fort, and long story short he got pounded into the dirt by a perturbed griffin.

However, the worst escort that I had to complete was in Skyrim for the Companions. It was one of those missions were you go into one of Skyrims many holes, kill some blokes, and rescue someone and bring them somewhere. The hole we crawled out of was rather close to Whiterun, and I had to take him to Rorrickstead. The only problem was I had not been there to fast travel there, so we had to walk. And yes walk, because other wise he would get lost. As we walked through the country side, I had to make sure to avoid anything larger than a wolf, because they were just drawn to him. When we finally get to town, without being jumped by one of Alduin's little friends, I hit a bug that wouldn't let me finish the quest, all because I didn't enter town at the correct place. I only figured this after saving and killing him quite a few times out of frustration.

It has to be Eileen in Silent Hill 4 for me.
Maybe I just got lucky on this one, but Eileen took next to no damage in my game. Though it's true escorting her is a big pain in the ass when you know you're gambling your good endings on her health. Still you can easily tilt the odds by just not giving her a weapon to go gung-ho with (against unkillable enemies to begin with) and using those candles to heal her every now and then.

Resident Evil 5 in its fucking entirety!
On the plus side RE5 makes a decent co-op.

I would actually say RE4 for one specific part.
Yeah, the "water room" is hairy enough without her NPC ass out in the open. Whenever I'm considering playing RE4 again I need only remember this part to ditch the idea. I hate how the zealots keep spawning and surrounding you and you're doing the protecting for two people. Usually you get a dumpster or a decent blind spot where to funnel in enemy hordes but this is Leon at his most vulnerable.

Ah the escort mission. Would you believe there is an entire game based around this concept?
Well, yeah, I just mentioned one. And a good one, too!
