Alma Wade and her children Paxton Fettel and Point Man(real name never said). F.E.A.R franchise.

[Myss_tree]

A Space Invader.

[Spreadie]

Not really my thing but, if I had to choose... probably Corvo Attano or Alan Wake.

[The Hand]

I think it's got to be Doom Marine!

[hb904460]

Magnus Armstrong - NOLF
Max - Streets of Rage 2

[Friesiansam]

all my other favourites are from RPG games, where you make your own character. so they are only favourites because I made them that way.

I'm an RPG/MMORPG player so, my favourite characters were all made by me. Probably number one was my dwarf hunter I made in WoW in 2007.

Narrowing down an ultimate favourite is difficult, and something that I've had to think hard about. I can think of characters I liked alot in various games, but none that I'd say would win overall.

Examples would be (in no particular order):

JC Denton in Deus Ex
Shepard and Garrus in Mass Effect series
GLaDOS and Wheatley in Portal/Portal2
Leliana in Dragon Age: Origins
Smiling Jack and Jeanette Voerman in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Bastila and HK-47 in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
April Ryan, Crow, and Zoe in The Longest Journey/Dreamfall
Geralt in the Witcher series
Elizabeth In Bioshock: Infinite
Joe and Vito in Mafia 2


I could name other characters in other games, but those ones are probably the most memorable and favoured of the characters I've encountered (or played as).

[bergamot]

Lara Croft for me- since Tomb Raider 2 was the first 'proper' PC game I ever played.

Still go back to play the early TR games from time to time- think they have really stood the test of time.

[Eric F]

He was never a favourite of mine, but I know James Pond had a quite a following in his time; don't think he's had a mention yet.

[Shane74]

Lo Wang - Shadow Warrior(original) "You are tiny grasshopper", "mmm tastes like chicken"
Duke Nukem -Duke Nukem 3d
Trevor - GTA V

Any character that can give me a laugh be it from good or bad behaviour in game.

[siu99spj]

No Commander Keen? For shame...

Probably one of the first (PC) computer games I played.

Sure there were a few C64 games before that but don't remember much of them, except maybe Dizzy, but can't say I ever loved that egg...

[bledd]

Handsome Jack or Duke Nukem

[Kanoe]

For me has to be Kurt Hectic from MDK as my favourite.

But Gordon Freeman runs it pretty close.

[Racksmirh]

Abe from Abe's exodus. Toxic farts, what more do you need from a character.
