DeadYorick Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Okay. Favorite protagonist in a video game. Pretty simple question no?
Corinthian Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Jack Walters, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.
Bob Lion54 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 In no particular order: Jake Logan - Tachyon: The Fringe Malkavian PC - Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines Link - Legend of Zelda Series Mario I always feel like there's one I have to include but can't think of with these things...
patient_zero Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I'm almost tempted to say "Shepard". Or "The Exile". Or some such. But that'd feel like I was saying "You know what? I am the best protagonist!" I quite like Eliwood and Hector from Fire Emblem (I count them both because they both have their own campaigns. I suppose Lyn counts too, but she's pretty much just Queen of the Tutorial). Oh, and Laharl from Disgaea (He's certainly not a "hero", but he's still the protagonist).
Bee Hoon Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 @patient_zero, I'll go ahead and say it if you won't The Exile! Squall is pretty darned awesome too:)
mur'phon Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Wait, so we can't mention the only ones who get close to my awesomness? In that case Geralt.
DrPhil2501 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I've got many favourite protagonists. Cloud Strife - FF7 Master Chief - HALO Revan - duh, i wanda wat he's from? Jak - the series with his name as the title Thats all I can recall so far...
igyman Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Hmmmmm, well, I have several, just like I have several favorite games... In no particular order: Manny Calavera (Grim Fandango) Kain & Raziel (Legacy of Kain game series) Guybrush Threepwood (Monkey Island series) Mr. 47 (Hitman series) Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell series) Max Payne (well, I guess you know from which game he is ) I'm intentionally avoiding Shepard, Revan/Exile and the Bloodlines PC, because even though they all have some kind of backstory, in those games you are the PC so they don't really have that much of a personality of their own.
SW01 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 The cold and detached Agent 47 would certainly be one of my favourites...and I don't really play many other games with a non-custom character! I mean, I played FF VII and XII, but I couldn't stand Cloud or Vaan. If I was to pick a second, it would have to be Revan. Darth Revan, of course!
JCarter426 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Bee Hoon said: @patient_zero, I'll go ahead and say it if you won't The Exile! Seconded. And I'll add Kyle Katarn to the list.
Miltiades Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Link - Legend of Zelda April - The Longest Journey Altaîr - Assassin's Creed Kyle Katarn - Jedi Knight Commander Keen - Commander Keen I'd say Revan and the Exile, but Revan's personality in KotOR was non-existent, but since I prefer him to the Exile, the Exile's out, too.
SW01 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Miltiades said: Altaîr - Assassin's Creed How did I forget that?? Agreed.
jawathehutt Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 JC and Alex Denton, I think Alex was one of the few things that IW managed to not completely ruin, JC gets on because hes in Deus Ex
Thanatos9t Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Solid Snake: Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. (Need I say more...)
Revan 411 Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Here are my favorite In no particular order: Agent 47 (Hitman) Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell) Altaîr (Assassins Creed) The Exile (KOTOR II) Solid Snake (MGS) Kyle Katarn (Jedi Knight Series) Link (The Legend Of Zelda Series) Max Payne (You know what game ) Master Chief (Halo) Cloud Strife (Final Fantasy 7) Niko Bellic (Grand Theft Auto IV) And that's all folks!

The Padawannabe Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Would Chrono count? Nico was a cool character also. And definitely Snake.
Achilles Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Carl Johnson - GTA: San Andreas It's difficult for me to get too excited about "protagonists" in RPGs. They're just me, after all.
