Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game? (lemmy.world)

Personally, it's Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to "I was bullied once" and that's it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful towards you plus is a character you get to interact with, and Joseph is a lunatic who was right.

What?? Faith might be the only interesting character in the whole FC series. I don't think you understand the character's backstory at all, TBH. The original Faith was the Seeds' sister who died young, so the brothers kidnap young women in the cult, drug them (I forget what the name of the drug is in the game), and convince them that they're Faith Seed. Eventually that woman dies so they replace her with another. It's horribly tragic and, in my opinion, is leagues above the standard character writing of the Far Cry games

Yeah, I was puzzled when OP listed Faith as most annoying; I don't think they paid attention to the story.

I found her more interesting than many other Far Cry antagonists, let alone other video games characters.
