Villains/antagonists or otherwise.
I’ve been watching some Fable 3 lets plays and was reminded of how much I absolutely hated Reaver. You can tell Lionhead was really going for someone that you would “love to hate,” but every scene with him in it is miserable. Absolutely ridiculous that you can’t kill him.
For a character from an actually well written video game, Eric in Tony Hawk’s Underground. Hitting the last line in the game and watching your character punch him out in a cutscene afterwards is extremely cathartic.

Fucking Navi. If I ever hear “Hey, Listen” again in my life it will cause me to go postal. Its was probably part of a CIA mind control experiment that will issue a kill order to all millenials. Fuck that stupid fairy.
Delphine from Skyrim. Mostly because I wanted to like her. I get why she is a paranoid mess, and if I held a grudge for every NPC that sent me on a stupid pointless quest this list would be miles long. It hurts because she was supposed to be on my side. One of the few people that was with me from the beginning, who actually wanted to find out what the heck was going on with the dragons.
Her ultimatum made me FUS RO DAH her off the top of Sky Haven Temple.
The ultimatum was so stupid fr, like the only reason y’all exist at all is because he turned against his own kind. Just blatant blind racism.
Parthuunax was a mass murderer and loyal soldier of alduin before he had his “come to Jesus” moment. If you knew about a former concentration camp commandant living in Argentina, and he was dedicating his life to feeding orphans the last few years, would it be racist to turn him in to the authorities?
If its clear they’re making amends and have completely changed their worldview and it had been thousands of years and the punishment is death… No I don’t think I would.
If they haven’t taken responsibility for their actions they haven’t made amends. Also, I suspect paarthunax is biding his time until the LDB dies and there’s nobody who can stop him. Thousands of years is nothing to an immortal, what’s a few decades more?
What do you call the way of the voice and leading the greybeards?
His actions and words clearly indicate to me he has changed, literally the only reason Alduin was defeated both times, this argument is silly. Why didnt he take over the entire time after Alduins banishment if he was just biding his time.
Edit: to use your comparison, if said Nazi turned on the Regime, literally taught the allies everything they needed to know to defeat Hitler, was instrumental in their defeat, and then proceeded to spend the rest of their life dedicated to undoing the damage… Yeah I’d say that’s clearly a change of heart and at the very least they shouldn’t be put to death lmao.
Most complex: Jimmy, from Mouthwashing
Simplest: Curly, from MouthwashingThe Monster, and the man that tacitly okayed him because he was scared of confrontation
Hey! Listen!
I am beyond triggered.
Ava from Borderlands 3.
Like, follow and obey
I remember hating any character from the telltale games so much, then I found out it was the bl3 writer’s fault because they didn’t know how to write anyone from Telltale’s borderlands games.
I tend not to hate characters that the writers want me to hate. The qualities that they try to use to do that generally just kind of make me hate the writing.
My dislike generally tends to go to characters who I’m expected to have positive attachments to without any events transpiring that would prompt that.
But Morrigan from Dragon Age got to me. Maybe there’s just something unique about how one autistic nihilist can inspire rage in another nihilistic autist.
@andros_rex Kai Leng is evidence that you shouldn’t let your 13 year old kid design a character in your very popular videogame franchise.
Higgs.
He had every chance to not be a jackass, and he chose the jackass option every time.
A couple from the olden days of yore:
Gratha heavy fighters from Wing Commander.
The beggars from Assassin’s Creed.
Tidus in Final Fantasy X always annoyed the hell out of me.
Loved 10 but damn he got on my nerves
Ballas from Warframe (at least they gave him the ol’ snip)
I suspect Wally is pumping him up for a crossover.
I’m not gonna lie the old peace kinda threw me off in terms of what the lore is, feels like I’ve missed something between the hex quest and the old peace
Adrian Ripburger, hands down.
Bad guys are supposed to be bad, but c’mon - MINIVANS??!?!!
Both husband and wife in It Takes Two.
The elephant scene
I just read this to my daughter and she pissed herself laughing. We beat the game together and said the same thing at the time. Terrible parents, and annoying as shit. They literally tore apart their daughter’s favourite teddy!
So this was the point where i was really perplexed. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the game, it was fun and i liked parts of it, but for me it was just not really challenging enough as a platformer or whatever. So playing it, i at least hoped that the story would be good. But they were just complete dickheads. I thought they learned something from the teddy, but they were just hiding it? They are either horrible parents or the writers are.
I think the writers may have read the feedback afterwards. There’s a nod to it in Split Fiction (much better game), where the same elephant can be found on one of the early levels. If you destroy it, you get an achievement called Rose’s Best Friend with the caption “You made her cry”.
Handsome Jack. Most people find him funny-hateable, but I just found him gratingly annoying. I got two hours into BL2 and quit, then never came back. Which was a pity, because I was playing it with my wife and we had a blast with BL1.
Kaden from the mass effect trilogy.
He is just to bland as a romanceable character. Ashley isn’t much better but at least she has some growth throughout the series.
Bioware writers: “What if we took Carth Onasi, removed all of his personality, and replaced his tragic backstory with ‘sometimes I get headaches’?”
So she’s no longer a space racist?
Never said that.
Ohhhhhhhhhh…whelp:
