Captain Qwark from the Ratchet & Clank universe. I love this Flashman-style character, the galactic superhero who makes himself scarce at the first sign of trouble but is always there to take the credit afterwards.
Sicamon's choice too. HK-47 was the only NPC in
Knights of the Old Republic whose voice dialogue I didn't want to skip passed after 5 seconds. Brilliantly envisaged character.
The Vault Dweller meets many colourful NPCs on his adventures in the Fallout games, but the fact that you can make him a colourful character himself makes him stand out amongst player characters.
Gorgutz. War Boss and Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka fan boy, Gorgutz has none of the Ork hero's qualities but he's irrepressible. Every time Gorgutz's greenskins get stomped, he blames the nearest nob, kills him and flees to another planet and will be there, leading another horde of Orks to destruction in the next Dawn of War title. Whoever said Orkiness was about winning anyway?
There are two big reasons that any male gamer should adore Taki. They are illustrated here, but not animated, and it's their animation that places them high in my affections. I still remember seeing the
Soul Blade intro on the PS1 for the first time...
