Seconding (thirding, fourthing, seventhing, whatever) the railing against Oblivion and Morrowind NPCs. But this can also apply to the AI in Fallout 3.
Not only is there their uncanny talent of running into your field of fire or trying to snipe the enemy through your major organs, but there is also Dogmeat's endearing habit of trying to kill a twenty-foot tall mutated titan by gnawing at its ankles. Well, it's endearing until he's ground into the brown dystopian dirt like a cigarette butt.

Some of the named AI buddies in Mount and Blade are pretty usless...
"Ymira has been knocked unconcious by Swabian Recruit"
Then again some of them are awesome...
"Braduk has killed Swadian Knight"
"Rhodok Sharpshooter has killed Swabian Knight"
"Braduk has killed Swadian Knight"

I agree.. when she seems to think its a good idea to unload 80 rounds of handgun ammunition into a boss, that's when i stopped letting her have any ammo thus making her completely just an annoyance to me the rest of the game despite the extra bagspace she gave me.Noogai said:
Hmmm, do you mean apart from Navi? I'd have to say the fellow AI in the first Halo game, in Halo 2 and 3 they were actually pretty good and you could use them well, but the AI in the first one were just appalingly bad. Oh, and half the people you meet and fight alongside on certain quests in Oblivion.
maybe so, but later on he gets really useful. those pesky dragons die by the power of his harp.Bladedshrew said:
OT i would say any the great deku tree from ocarina of time. the first dungeon is basically trying to save him, and then he goes and dies anyway.
The most usless character in a game that really anoyed me was........the cops and civilians of crackdown game, mainly because they always get in the way and when your trying to rank up you lose points cause of them and its anoying sometimes, funny other times but mostly anoying.
He's that useless, he's even got his own separate gameOssum said:
On topic, though... LARA CROFT.
Every time I play a Tomb Raider game, she always gets her nice, juicy jugs caught on some part of the scenery, while a velociraptor is chewing at her shoulders.
Stupid bloody woman.
Rico from Killzone 2.
Don't get me wrong, Rico is awesome, but I got a little tired of reviving him for the millionth time after he wanders out of cover into enemy fire.

Jogurt from Shining Force 2 (Sega Megadrive and Gameboy Advance). Every single stat is 1, and he can't level up.
Teammates in Fallout 3 (PC). Charge in while you sneak, attack three Super Mutants at once and start yelling that they are low on health, then die.
Vaan from FF12 (PS2). Main character, but as useless as a car without tyres.
Imoen from Baldurs Gate 2 (PC). Her chosen profession, thief/mage, leads to nothing, except some rare items which make her decent. Not worth the time to invest.
Teammates in Steel Battalion (Xbox). Unless you can command them, they walk around without telling you what they are up to, and attack enemies at random. Very hard to plan your battles like this.
