Greatest Game Character Ever

For me I think it has to be the Nameless One

 

Dalshim from Streetfighter2. Yoga, yoga, yoga!

 

Number 47 from the Hitman series, no competition for me. Silent death walking.

 

Also Tifa from FF7. Put her as the bottom character and stick her in the back row (with a Long Range materia, of course), and during one of the after-battle pans you'd get a half a screen closeup of her sticking her chest out.

 

It's a toss-up between TNO and Kreia. Ditto everything you said about her Ofelix, also, she's right up there with Irenicus in the voice acting.

 

Garrett in Thief. Stephen Russel did a very good job voiceacting him.

 

Can't believe I actually forgot him , he is the main reason that I like to play as thief.

 

I think the best designed game character is Lara Croft.

 

I think Niemroth deserves a cookie.

Fel, you're a were-tiggy after my own heart...

 

Inga Wagner (from no one lives forever)
Jan Jansen (he's so damn silly)
Irenicus (DAMN good acting, great villain)
Deer Avenger (from...um...deer avenger)
Alice & Chesire Cat (from alice)
Minuteman (from freedom force)

+ @Incarnate: who's kerrigan?

Sarah Kerrigan from the StarCraft series. She was a Terran "Hero" who was betrayed and left for dead after which she became the "Brood Queen" of the Zerg iirc.

 

And eventually whupped both the Terrans and the Zerg and became Queen of the Galaxy, I think.

 

I've never played Starcraft.

 

NOOOOOOO00000ooooo , the horror ,the horror
Go play the game ,OR ELSE...!!!
You will not regret.

 

As you wish

 

I like Morte from PST the best. Such an amazing mix of tragedy and comedy, in one character.

 

Well, some good ones have been thrown out already; Duke, Larry, Guybrush, Irenicus, Garrett...

A few I'd tack on to the list would be:

SHODAN, for an impressive delivery of creepiness "What are you doing, hacker?"

Sly Boots (of the sleeper 'RPG' Anachronox) for the 'antihero tries to be the goody-goody with amusing results'.

Some of Planet Moon's protagonists also slip into this, as well - Baz the Meccarin of Giant:Citizen Kabuto and...well, ALL of the Lionhearts outta Armed and Dangerous.

HK-47, for the utterly...unique characterization - utterly evil and yet quite compelling and fascinating. "Yes meatbag- er, master"

Heck even Duncan Fisher - announcer of the Solaris matches outta Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries: "My wife said to me the other day - 'Duncan, there's more to life than just the arena.' Honestly, folks some days it's like she's speaking a different language: the individual words make sense on their own, but put them together and it's just gibberish."


But one of my faves has to be Kyle Katarn; a character that's been lucky to have the time to evolve over a series of games from a simple 'run-and-gun silent marine' type of Dark Forces to a wisecracking anti-hero ("Huh - I wonder what that did" upon flipping a switch...or was that Mara Jade?)

 

Kyle Katarn IS a good character at that. He's a BIG reason I love the series so much. Actually, in jedi academy, your friend (yash? vash? oshkibosh?) who turns bad on you is a great character too.

 

I have thought and thought. I have to say Minsc. I laugh at his lines all the time. I quote them so much it makes my wife nuts. Minsc is the man for me!

 

Guybrush Threepwood!!
