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.

Fucking Claptrap......

Naaaaw, I love him! He's just a misunderstood ADHD robot without friends. Cut him some slack!

Did you play his sidequest with getting people to come to his birthday party in Borderlands 2?

I actually named my home server claptrap. My desktop is chappie (from the movie of the same name, with another anthro robot).

I did, I played all the borderlands until the third (which I just couldn't put up with) multiple times and he just annoyed the piss out of me constantly xD

Wdym "another"? Claptrap isn't an anthro robot lol. He's a trash can with feet for hands (and I love him)

I agree, but I do think that is kind of the point with him.

I do not get every other character's willingness to overlook it and treat him like just another quirky member of the gang. I mean, Tanisha has no social skills but she's at least clever and has some clear utility to the Raiders.

I realise that is the point, doesn't make it any less annoying though!
