The two advisors in Black & White 2. You had an unskippable cutscene every two minutes in that game, and in addition to that you had their commentary over everything you did.
Sara Oakheart in Lord of the Rings Online. It was a essentially a required quest. When the game launched you had to escort her as you walked along a quite long path to the exit of a cave. The only problem was her walk speed was about 0.05 your run speed. Oh, and halfway out she says, "Oh young man, I forgot I need to get my cane". Then proceeds to walk down another long passageway to grab her damn walking stick, turn around, and finally head for the exit.
Thankfully, I think she's a bit faster now.

I don't know if any of you played the very first fable game. (Back when it was just another fantasy RPG, and funnily enough, included a story) But there was one quest where you had to rescue a little kid from a cave of Hobbes.
My God it was bad, the whole way he absolutely insists on standing right where the enemies are, and has a health bar shorter than a critter's. On top of that, he has without a doubt, THE WORST voice acting ever to be cruelly inflicted on a players ears. His tone of voice his so bloody annoying and constantly whiny that it would make anyone pro-choice.

Moria from Fallout 3, she had an annoying voice, her quests were difficult (at the low level you first encountered her) and she didn't even give you any good rewards
Tiny Tiger after the new Crash Bandicoot games raped his character.
It's literally the worst character design change you'll ever see. It's horrifying and depressing.

I feel your pain. That quest was my most hatted in the game. I always dreaded it.Korovashya said:
OT: Gonna have to go with any NPC who I have to do a mission with who constantly complains that I'm doing stuff wrong while he sits in the middle of a battle field getting a face full of bullets/arrows/magic/Cthulhu. So I pretty much explained every support character ever.
This probably doesn't count, but I was reminded by the guildmaster - the narrator from Crackdown - his comments were about 4 minutes late!
Any NPC in any game who tells you to "hurry up!" while you're being throttled by your own entrails. Especially if they then go on to repeatedly tell me to hurry up while I'm still fighting. Escort missions can be especially bad for this.
*****, if you want me to hurry up, do it your goddamn self, I'm busy over here.

Glarthir (the paranoid dude in Skingrad) in Oblivion. I just hated his face and how 'enthusiastic' and overacting the voice actor was. I hated him so much in fact I didn't kill him myself or sic the guards on him. Instead I let him kill someone (and then let the guards kill him), so that not only was he dead, but everyone hated him.
that kid that was in charge of Little lamplight caverns in fallout 3, mayor Mcreedy I think it was
I don't care if he was a Kid I wanted to strangle the little basterd and this is coming from somone who usually has chronic hero/do-gooder sydrome in games
funnyly enough in Bioware games I tend to not mind the bitchy charachters that everyone else hates like Miranda from ME2 or Morrigan from dragon age

Hey! Hey listen! Hey! Hey listen!
You all know what I'm talking about. Thought I was going to stab that damn fairy.

I've never played Fable, but mine is similar. Near the end of Psychonauts you have to escort this kid (who is actually part of the villain's subconscious) around a nightmarish (literally) merger of his and the main character's childhoods. And besides keeping him alive, you have to help him rescue his pet bunny. And when he gets the bunny he uses his propeller beanie to fly to another platform where he immediately loses the bunny and gets attacked again. And some of the obstacles the player has to pass between platforms would be keyboard-smashingly frustrating on their own. It does this several times; if the kid dies you have to start the whole level over.Korovashya said:
