Me. 

 

I play mostly RPGs and if the world is built right and I can interact with it enough then that character sticks with me. I will never forget the trials and tribulations of my Morrowind character.

Revan, Geralt, Garrus, Shepard, Liara, Triss, Vesemir, Ciri, Kreia..... picking one is too difficult.

Indeed, although some of the villains made me want to torture them to death instead of simply killing them. Caleb Menge, Radovid V, etc got off too easily.

Gaunter O'Dimm is my personal favorite and in my opinion one of the best video game villains.

I have to admit that my favorite character in recent times is Sarah Kerrigan. Her personality, character, overall appearance (be it Terran or Zerg), are all well done, which made her an interesting character.

 

Here's the info on my StarCraft original character, which you may have heard of him if you've checked out my profile.

Spoiler

 

One of my OCs I made can be viewed in my DeviantArt and my profile here. His name is James Kerrigan, Sarah's little brother and the antihero of the StarCraft series. So far I've fleshed out his personality to reflect his antihero portrayal as being the opposite of both Sarah Kerrigan and Jim Raynor. He is not very heroic (with very few exceptions), and often goes out of his way to stop anyone from killing the Queen of Blades, while at the same time looking for an answer to de-infest Sarah Kerrigan. One time he was looking for evidence for the destruction of one of his squads, and unknowingly, he was helping out the Terran Dominion, who was also after him at the same time, exchanging gunfire and insults wherever possible.

 

James Kerrigan is also partially infested by the Queen of Blades, albeit indirectly when he removed the Ghost conditioning on board of the Amerigo.

 

To go over some of his villainous traits briefly, these are what I have given him

  • Violent: His behavior and the methods he's used has earned him a reputation of being brutal, maybe even more so than the Queen of Blades in spite of the fact that she killed more than him. It's that his methods he employed before have even intimidated the Queen herself when she launched a raid against a base, only to discover that its occupants were all impaled and left there to serve as a warning not to fight him.
  • Alienated: There are very few people he can trust and talk to, and look for support when he needs it. These people are: Jim Raynor; his best friend. Matt Horner: Has always got him covered while on the ground during missions. And the Protoss Lynalla: The Protoss he saved for moral reasons, which in return, helped counsel him and to give him the courage he's needed to press on even in trying times.
  • Distrustful: He's not very trustful of anyone, up until the events of Wings of Liberty when Raynor's Raiders began the assault on Char to set up an artifact to de-infest Sarah Kerrigan, especially the Protoss, who has tried to kill the Queen of Blades a few times in the past.
  • Manipulative: James knows how to exploit the weaknesses of his enemies, allowing him to get what he wants, even without brandishing any weapons.
  • Depressed: Due to the loss of Sarah Kerrigan, he took the blame and became loathsome to himself, and to those around him.

 

He still has some heroic traits though, aside from the villainous traits he's harbored after Sarah Kerrigan was infested.

  • He is still graceful and courageous even in the face of danger, often risking his own life. Many view him as being reckless for this before.
  • He still shows compassion to Sarah Kerrigan, which is attributed to his bond with her, and also for being the only one left he can truly look up to, even as the Primal Queen of Blades.
  • His brilliant plans have helped save lives before.

 

In short, he's ruthless, brutal, violent, and has been betrayed by the leader Arcturus Mengsk when the Kerrigans were left to die on Tarsonis. Sarah was infested, and James' thirst for revenge festered in him. Still finding compassion towards Sarah, he still pressed on even when the odds are stacked against him.

"So because they didn't give you the results you want, they're biased? You realize that makes you biased, right?" - @App4that

"Brand loyalty/fanboyism is stupid." - Unknown person on these forums

"Assuming kills" - @Moondrelor

"That's not to say that Nvidia is always better, or that AMD isn't worth owning. But the fact remains that this forum is AMD biased." - @App4that

"I'd imagine there's exceptions to this trend - but just going on mine and my acquaintances' purchase history, we've found that budget cards often require you to turn off certain features to get slick performance, even though those technologies are previous gen and should be having a negligible impact" - ace42

On a more serious note: I do find HK-47 to be hilarious. Guybrush Threepwood is great as well. Oh and Murray! The evil demonic skull! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
