THIS JUST THIS.
Psychonauts has the best cast of great/amazing/weird characters. They are all well designed.
Oh and GLaDOS from portal.

Atlas - so well made, you can't help but to truly believe that your his one hope for his kids, and he's the first real friend you get in rapture.

Or the Dog from fable; nothing too complex but so loyal and loving you have to revive him instead of millions of innocent lives/a million gold

The Arbiter is a nice pick for this. He has motivation that is well characterized and I actually liked playing as him better because well I felt bad when killing my allies as the Arbiter but as the Master Chief I found all the death cries of the marines most amusing.

Another nice pick is the entire monster catalogue from Silent Hill 2. You don't have to grasp the fact that they symbolize James' torment to get that they're fucking terrifying. But once you grasp the concept the clarity and they're fucking spookiness coincides with their symbolism so well that it gives you shivers.

But my particular favorite pick is CJ from San Andreas. He's got a troubled past and no interest in fixing up his future whatsoever. He spends most of his game sticking it to the man, whom you are destined to hate the moment you first hear Samuel L. Jackson's voice, and does so (to quote Yahtzee) "with admirable gusto." But with all this wrong doing the wackiness of situations and explosions to rival a Michael Bay movie you can't help but agree and grow on CJ.

Alyx Vance, Gordom Freeman, Dog from HL2, The Boomer from Left 4 Dead (I'm a Valve fanboy) Big Daddies, and, of course, the Elcor from Mass Effect. Here's a picture of it: http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/File:Elcor-mass-effect.jpg
