Just a thread about your favourite video game characters and why (if) they mean something to you.

There is no top 5 or ranking system of any kind, if you think of someone just post away, you can come back and post as many as you like at a later date.

Let's see if we get any recurring characters.

I was like 13 at the time when I played this and ******* me I was so engrossed into that game and saving her that I actually got caught up in-between the amazing characterisation and my raging teenage hormones. She was my first love. So many good memories of this game and her character. :joker:

I'm a sucker for servant robots with British accents. Especially if they suddenly turn psychopathic and murder virtual-reality families from the '50s.

I don't rlly remember much about RDR but one of the things that stuck with me was his struggle with his capacity of good and evil. Idk there's something rlly appealing to me about fighting an inner battle against the demons of your past.

Mister Handy from the Fallout series... although IIRC he only had the British accent in F3?

Toad from Mario. I used him since forever on Mario Kart so that definitely makes him a special video game character to me :)

Yep, I like how they made his character ambiguous so you could take a dark or light path in the game and it not look out of character.

Fallout 3 and new Vegas is on my amazon wish list for this Christmas so if I've been good I will be saying hello to this guy soon :laugh:

Take your time with them, it doesn't look like we're getting Fallout 4 any time soon :p

BTW, when it comes to Mario: Team Luigi all the way. Wario if I feel silly.

Um Birdo is obviously the best Mario character.

Shaun

Is Birdo the daft dinosaur bint from Super Mario World 2 that shoots eggs from her mouth at you? Because I can get in on that.

I'm with my man Raph, it's Toad for me, though I'm now taking a liking to Rosalina on Mario Kart 8.

I haven't played a Mario game in ages. Rosalina is the giant space princess right? She looked cool in her smash bros trailer I guess.

Oh and Ike is my main man when it comes to Super Smash Bros, or Fox in the older versions :worship:

Yeh she's from the galaxy series I think. Has that little yellow star thing.

Miranda Lawson (Mass Effect 2 & 3)

http://www.writeups.org/img/inset/Miranda_Lawson_h7.jpg

One of my favourite things to do in Mass Effect 2 is ditching that xenophobic angry racist alien basher Ashley and getting on board the HMS Miranda. I've toyed with the idea of ditching her in ME3 as well multiple times but I just can't do it. I can't bring myself to let her die. My Shepard needs his hole before the important missions anyway and Miranda is always on hand to give it :hehe:

GLaDOS is my all time favourite because I can only dream to one day be able to drag a bitch with the laser sharpness that she has :flutter:

Same! :amazed:

My personal favourite would be Vivi from Final Fantasy IX. His storyline's so powerful and his character arc throughout the game is perfect.
