Whom do you think the coolest, best, most interesting, or favourite, etc., etc., video game character and why?
My choice is to be Solid Snake. The reason..... Must I even explain?

Yeah, long live Solid Snake!
Guybrush Threepwood... obviously... :2thumbsup:
The Nameless One. No contest.
I think I can agree with that.Quote:

Jon Irenicus (BG 2).
Fantastic voice acting, perfectly scripted and powered up, and makes for a plausible and fascinating villain.
Although I have to admit that the Nameless One, Guybrush Threepwood and Minsc are pretty close.
Yes, this rather absent-minded jack-of-all-tattoos is definitely way up in the running for me.Quote:

I enjoyed the unnamed main character in Diablo. I'm also a bit partial to Mephisto from Diablo II. Marius was interesting.
Snake was cool, but a bit too Snake Pliskin-derived for me.
The best Video Game Characters are Minsc and his minature giant space hamster, Boo, from BG2
Sephrioth
It may just be cause he is from my first video game...
My top ten:
1. The King of All Cosmos
2. Naked Snake
3. The Nameless One
4. Frank West - He's covered wars, yanno?
5. Aerith Gainsborough - Because she's the only character in the game that didn't make me want me to choke them.
6. Anonymous Wei Soldier #562
7. Lady Deirdra of the Gaians
8. Gordon Freeman - Because there's something about a guy in glasses with an MIT degree and a crowbar.
9. Solid Snake
10. Anonymous Svartalf Thrall #23 - Because they drop good loot.
If you can name all the games, I'll love you forever :loveg:
Garrett is a little too mysterious to be very interesting. Would be nice if he had some sort of personality other than "STFU n00b! My money!", as is the case on mission 1 of Thief 2: The Metal Age, when he says that love gets in the way of his money.
Be that as it may but I am a rabid Thief-fanboy so I never miss a chance to praise it to heaven. What makes Garret so interesting is his place in that lovely creepy sinister world of his. He is sly, cynical and sexy but can't help being a good person, he is more or less a spectator of events yet he unwillingly shapes them. And common! How can a pupil-keeper of the ancient texts that became a Thief not be interesting??
A short google search revealed that you people indeed mean another nameless guy than I do because I actually mean the nameless hero, not the nameless one. That's probably because I never played the nameless one, the game concept doesn't look as nice to me.
So erm, yeah, the Nameless Hero it is.
As much as I love Thief (in my top three games), Garrett isn't all that interesting to me. I much prefer Zaya, an Egyptian princess turned Thief (Thief2x).Quote:

Sigh......why can't all games be as good as Thief :shame:
Did I mention I like Thief?
When I'm bored, I sometimes visit the Circle of Stone and Shadow to find some fanmade missions.Quote:

Please excuse me while I throw up.
Owww Purah. Visit another forum you probably know, ttlg (full of arrogant pricks really), and he is quite fond of himselve no? But you have admit that Calendra's Legacy is great, the city is 3 times the size of the entire deadly shadow game, and guards carrying light-sources was a great twist and a pretty neat technical achievement. If you mean that Garret having a lovelife is getting out of character, well thieves have needs to. I love the effort, if there is anything I cannot stand it's (too obvious) recycling of sounds and voices, the whole mission feels like a real commercial project. But Purah.... send him a 'I love it' mail, got a 'you should' back :laugh4:
Can't forget about good ol' Mudcrab.

EDIT: Language, please. Froggy.
25 replies, and no-one's mentioned Lara Croft, Tanya, the cast of that beach volley-ball game &c. yet...
I'm mildly impressed.
Corporal Adrian - Half Life: Opposing Force
I keep on waiting for him to make an appearance in HL2.
Garrett is one of my favorites.
Dark, mysterious and smart.
Also let's not forget the guy(who's name escapes me at the moment) that you play in Mafia.
Chief of Police Beirut?Quote:
