Who are your most hateable video game characters? (lemmy.world)

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.

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.
