Your Favorite Character

Look at the avatar.

He's one crazy son-of-a-*****, though he is great fun at parties.

Shadow from the same game was fun too.

 

[ChildofGallifrey]

Luke fon Fabre from Tales of the Abyss. Overall an excellent game with a great story, and memorable characters. I still hold Luke up as having the single greatest character arc of any that I've ever seen in a video game.

 

[Von Dean]

Grit from Advance Wars DS because i love that game and his easy going attitude although tbh he isin't much in the way of a developed character.
Vyse from Skies of Arcadia,and if you don't know him well enough to know why I picked him I implore you to get and play the game!

 

[zombiestrangler]

In no particular order:
Victor Reznov (CoD:WaW)
Urdnot Wrex (Mass Effect)
General Knoxx (Borderlands)
Edgar Teglee (Psychonauts)
Dizzy Wallin (GoW 2)

 

[ChickenZombie]

Ezio Auditore da Firenze...

for sure.

 

[The Pinray]

I'll have to say Garrus. I love him. Followed closely by Legion.

 

[Granny Smith 07]

Noober from Baldur's Gate, you could kill him and no one cared it was great

and also Tali, she has such cute mannerisms I can't wait to romance her more in ME3

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Alistair - Dragon Age: Origins
Ezio Auditore da Firenze - Assassin's Creed II
Everyone - Tales of Symphonia
Balthier/Fran - Final Fantasy FFXII
Jade Curtiss - Tales of the Abyss

Yoshi, it's a shoe wearing dinosaur that can shoot fireballs, watermelon seeds, and ice. Occasionally, (frequently) it'll eat enemies and turn them into eggs. He also has a flutter kick. Adorable and weird.

Yeah, seconded, or thirded.

So I'll pick another, since mine's been taken. Magus from Chrono Trigger, when I found out he was playable, my joy reached its peak.

 

[FilipJPhry]

Garrus(Mass Effect), Bill(L4D), Merrill(Dragon Age 2), Kratos(God of War), and if Pokemon count, it's Blastoise.

 

[Spookimitsu]

Wow, what a list. I'll try to narrow it down...
Mario & Bowser, Rikimaru, Ryu Hayabusa, Hanzo Hattori(SamShodown) mainly i like the silent types

honorable mention - Chun Li, Ezio

damn I almost forgot about this guy

 

[Raika]

My favorite video game character is Yuna from Final Fantasy X-2. She's charming, kind, perky(but not too perky), and the game handles her development as a person so well that by the end of it, I felt like I watched her grow from a timid, submissive girl into an intelligent, confident young woman. I was so proud of her once the game ended that I may or may not have cried a little.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Joker from Mass Effect

or Liara T'Soni

 

[Mont.Hansen]

Falco from Morrowind: Bloodmoon.

 

[B4DD]

Alyx Vance - Half Life 2

When you first see her as you come back to consciousness she looks positively angelic. She also has a solid character.

 

[crudus]

I am going to have to go with Johnny from RPG Shooter: Starwish. It is a flash game oddly enough. There are a lot of close 2nd places, but Johnny takes first.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

Sonic the Hedgehog. Big fan since '93.

Honorable mentions: Nathan Drake (Uncharted francise), Scott Pilgrim (SP vs. The World), Lugia & Charizard (Pokemon franchise), Snake (MGS franchise), Jak (Jak franchise), Yoshi (Mario franchise), Gwendolyn & Oswald (Odin Sphere), Rikku & Auron (FF X), and Balthier (FF XII).

 

[ZehMadScientist]

I'd say Andrew Ryan from Bioshock for obvious reasons.


And Legion from Mass Effect 2 gets special mention. Speaking of Legion, I think it was in a thread here on the Escapist forum but somebody gave the speculation that when you handed him to Cerberus instead of activating him yourself, he might return in ME3 as a Cerberus modified Over 9000 Shepard decimator machine. Boy am I glad he's on my side (I hope).
