Yes. I'm all for the new-age antagonists that have complex backstories and strangely good intentions, but I can't really consider them 'villains'. They're just characters to me. For a character to be a villain they have to be completely unloveable. You have to genuinely hate them...and that's something that few videogame antagonists get done right.Dorian Cornelius Jasper said:
Finally fighting Luca was a great experience simply because he was a bastard. He was a murderous egomaniac with no empathy and no regard for common human decency. Even better than that, the game is only about halfway over by the time you beat him! The rest of the game is spent cleaning up the mess he made. That's how much of an impact he had. Thinking about it now, it was strange to see a completely evil character in a game that stresses moral ambiguity like Suikoden...but it made such a huge impact that it doesn't even matter.
Sephiroth, as he is badass, cool, got some really cool hair and a 7-foot katana.
Arthas, as he is the end boss of WOTLK (hes not gonna be beatable for a real long time, but he is the main villain. and if u have seen him, or just his weapon, u know why hes my favorite. also, if he didnt use his power controlling millions of undead, he could destroy the planet. probably twice.

sorry but cold day in dis (2nd level of hell) before WoW gets best story or Darth Vader gets a inch of originality to his back story.darkcow55 said:
but since have to go with published villains not home brewed villains and not including few PC's seen and played over the years have to be... Mephistopheles from neverwinter nights hou sure no where near as fiendish seen him played in dnd and plot was in laughable but he had style and best endings ever. As either ruled the entire forgotten realms setting with him (slave or partner) a few other or make him a chamber maid for a tavern you set up.
Yuri and Kane are big bad guys i love from C&C.
Fontaine (bioshock) i had forogt about until i saw this thread, so he is on the list to. I'm not sure if i count Andrew Ryan as a villain, he is an antagonist, but he wasn't the main evil force at work. not good, definitely bad, but he was just running his city and trying to prevent its total collapse.

I know it's typical and the entire population of fanboyland says this but Sephiroth is my choice. his sword is longer than Chuck norris penis, he has super powers that could outrival Superman's, his goal is to save stuff by killing everything he sees and he is the only villain (that I know of) who has a theme song that makes you afraid even (or should I say especially) when you haven't even seen the guy yet. (oh and also he has a wing and appears in KH1+2)
