Favourite Video Game Character?

Just a little curious to see who everybody's favourite video game characters are. Mine would definitely be either Veronica Santangelo or Joshua Graham, both from New Vegas. Loved the both of them.

I'm not sure I have any favorites. I do love Sheogorath from Shivering Isles. From the other games I have played the only ones that really stand out in my mind are Minskl Boo and Vicky from Baldurs Gate SOA and Savorak (sp?) from ToB. Oh how could I forget. Jan Jansen, I think that is his name. The turnip gnome from Baldurds Gate II. I did love the characters in Baldurs Gate.

Sarevok was already present in BG1 Nakia.

If I had to pick I would choose Jeanette and Therese Voerman from Vampire Bloodlines.

My favourite character in the BG series was Xzar. He had all the best lines.

In the Fallout series I would have to choose Myron. Sure the guy is despicable but he is hilarious.

Car, I know Sarevok was in BG I but in was in ToB that I fell in love with him. Bioware really knew how to write dialogue in those days.

You may be hard on Bioware. Some of the dialogue in DAO isn't that bad and I rather like what they did with Kotor (although Obsidian did a better job with NPCs in Kotor 2 IMO).

I'm not a huge fan of Planescape Torment but Morte was a truly memorable character. Planescape Torment really took advantage of the setting to tell a great story.

Forgot about Planescape/Torment and Morte. He was good. Never played Kotor.

Dan Dead from Carmageddon 2. His Riviera is F'N awesome. He has no dialogue or interaction whatsoever, but who needs to talk during a car and pedestrian smash fest?

His Riviera is the only car in C2 I feel HAS to be driven with the internal view.

Good choice, although I'd probably say my favorite character is the stop sign.

I like Smilin' Jack, too. Especially when you figure out what's really going on.

Playing a Malkavian is definitely great!

Is that Elric of Melnibone in your avatar, Carabas?

Yes, i's Elric of Melniboné. I used to be a big fan when I was growing up and I still like reading some of his adventures from time to time.

Kudos for recognizing him Kana.

I read a compilation of some of Moorcock's stores. Elric is an interesting character. Not your typical fantasy hero, by any stretch.

Definitely! The trick is to read the stories in the right order. The problem is that Moorcock started in the middle with Yyrkoon and Cymoril and then moved on to Theleb K'aarna, Zarozinia, Yishana and Moonglum. There are many stories that happen long before Elric met Moonglum and his adventures with Smiorgan Baldhead and Rackhir are pretty good.

Of course Moorcock couldn't help adding stories long after he concluded the original saga. The Revenge of the Rose and the Fortress of the Pearl are both more mature on many aspects and they play on the fact that we already know the end of the story.

Then there is always the Eternal Champion stories. Apart from Elric which one is your favourite? Is it Erekose, Hawkmoon or Corum? Or maybe Ulrich von Bek from The War Hound and the World's Pain?

Elric is the only one I'm familiar with. I've been meaning to check out more, preferably full novels, but I have a fairly long list of books I want to read and not enough time to read them all.

Have to add three new characters to my favourites: Canopus, Ravness and Cistina, all from Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together.
