What are yours out of all games you ever played? Which NPC companion made you actually care and enrich the game world?

For me it is "Biorr of the Twin Fangs" from Demon's Souls far above all others. In a dark, gloomy and depressing world he was (also above the lovely souls inside the Nexus like Thomas) the one that gave a glimpse of life, hope and battle moral.

I also liked Alyx from Hl2. Somehow I care about the NPCs in Dragon's Dogma (which I started a week ago) even though they are so easy to replace.

 

[dripdripsplash]

I liked those two guys in HL2 Episode 2 that you stood with killing waves of aliens while waiting for the vortigaunt to fix Alyx.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[lazer_bean]

he is funny and I'd like to know more about him,, his story

 

[Horp]

I like Morte from Planescape: Torment

"I'm Morte. Like Latin... for Death."

 

[Cheeky]

If only i could be so grossly incandescent.

Siegmeyer to, even though they break down eventually. You feel relieved when you find them, like you are not alone or something.

DaS2 has Vengarl, which doesn't appear everywhere but he is fun to talk to. And considering where he is, its quite a relief.

 

[Bessy67]

A lot of Bioware characters for me. Minsc and Boo, Bastilla, Jolee Bindo, Kreia (I know, not Bioware, but I was thinking of KoTOR), Tali, Wrex, Mordin, Shale and Varric being some of my favorites.

I also loved the pawns from Dragon's Dogma. I think it's got something to do with the way your main pawn grows as the game goes on that got me. It was cool seeing it get "smarter".

Can't actually think of any companions I noticeably liked more actually. I remember liking the girl in PoP Sands of Time but I'm not sure I would say she's my favorite.

Also, Sunbro obviously

 

[DryvBy]

Barney from Half-Life.

Nothing better than "Got another one!" when you just killed a flood of enemies and he missed 4 of his 4 shots.

 

[AntiFacebook]

I like Morte from Planescape: Torment

"I'm Morte. Like Latin... for Death."

Yeah,definitely him.

 

[Tizoc]

Dogi from the Ys series is a bro, I also like Aisha from Ys Seven

That's it off the top of my head....
Oh and there's also Farida Malik:

 

[dark_inferno]

The small robot guy from Space Crash Saga (Flash game). I like how he makes a smilie after every bad news he says to you.

 

[kingkaiser]

 

[AlucardGV]

Grimoire Weiss from Nier

 

[bigbaldwolf86]

Grimoire Weiss from Nier

Just came in to post this. His dialogue is fantastic throughout the game.

Minsc (and Boo)

"Hamsters and rangers everywhere, rejoice!"

 

[tensuke]

"By all that is holy! Do you see that enemy over there?"
"What a monstrous creature!"
"That was a worthy foe. Glorious!"
"Could we find more like that?"

Came to post this. The Templar from diablo 3. "The will of the Templar is stronger!"

 

[tringworldso]

Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins and Garrus from Mass Effect. Both were great bros.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins and Garrus from Mass Effect. Both were great bros.

Why is Brock Lesnar wearing Alistair's armor?

 

[MavFan619]

Navi in Ocarina of Time is first one that came to mind for me.

 

[Tony Redgrave]

Best.

 

[Darklord]

Alistair from Dragon Age: Origins and Garrus from Mass Effect. Both were great bros.

Agreed on both. But god I hope they aren't official figures.

 

[zebaz08]

Ellie from TLOU counts?

 

[Shaanyboi]

The Mass Effect trilogy party members (plus Joker)
Dragon Age: Origins party members
Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite
Ellie from TLoU

 

[Maintenance]

Made me feel like I had my own R2-D2.

 

[Log4Girlz]

She was with me the whole time

 

[FlutterPuffs]

This swag motherfucker right here.

 

[OverturePT]

It was already mentioned a couple of times but still... Garrus for sure. I also enjoyed Reyn but it was already mentioned as well.

 

[Bluth54]

Go for the eyes Boo!

 

[Tempy]

Dunno about best, but the Darkling from The Darkness II is pretty memorable.

 

[tringworldso]

Agreed on both. But god I hope they aren't official figures.

Haha, I got the image from this DA member: http://blackmottledhamster.deviantart.com/art/Alistair-and-Garrus-Action-Figures-334709962 Taken from the description:

The Garrus figure is from Big Fish Toys, I repainted the head and a bit of the armour.

Alistair is a repaint of Loghain from DC Unlimited, and the head is from the John Crichton (farscape) figure from Toy Vault. I sculpted the hair.

 

[Flayer]

The demon Uzume from SMT:Nocturne. Her speciality is healing. I kept her in my party into the level 40s, which is kinda insane considering she is a lower level demon. Buffed her up at every opportunity. She was the core to getting me through that amazing game.

 

[SJRB]

Old Salty Crab in Sleeping Dogs. Hilarious guy, the burglary mission with him is amazing.

 

[Nervous Sausage]

All good answers. I'll also chuck in these.

 

[Tempy]

Oh man Midna. She should be in the next Smash Bros.

 

[Lucumo]

Agro from Shadow of the Colossus.

 

[peace]

I find it very important to try and keep as many soldiers alive as possible on Legendary in the Halo games.

 

[Renekton]

Wrex from Mass Effect
Glottis from Grim Fandango

I wonder if there's a pattern...

 

[Tiduz]

 

[thunder_snail]

I'm a proud Talimancer.

Can't forget Crow from TLJ.

 

[Fbh]

Does this guy count?

Grimoire Weiss from Nier

This.

I think half my enjoyment of that game simply came from the random (and mostly hilarious) talks between Nier and Weiss

 

[Krafter]

Agro from Shadow of the Colossus.

Came here to post this. Such a loyal friend, just a horse and his boy riding to face the next colossus together.

 

[SmartBase]

Zaeed and Javik were pretty memorable. Such a shame they were DLC, especially Javik.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Irene in Link Between World, she's the only interesting NPC in the game, other than Hilda.

 

[Mozendo]

Dragon Age: Morrigan
Dragon Quest V: Deborah
Fallout New Vegas: Raul
KotOR 2: Visa Marr
Mass Effect: Garrus
Torchlight 2: Deer - I would go on a rampage when it'd retreat ;-;

 

[The Amusing Ciderman]

Johnson from Shadows of the Damned. Mostly for his reading of the Stinky Crow and of course all the other double entendres he comes out with.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Palutena in ki uprising
