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.

Tatsu from Xenoblade Chronicles X is a really annoying little dude. I watched my buddy play through and every time he said anything he’d tell the tv “shut up Tatsu.” It’s arguably more aggravating because the game seems aware of his annoyance since one of the main characters is constantly suggesting she cook him into a dish to eat. I’d say that would be the best outcome.

Screwball in Spider-man for ps4/ps5. Everything about the character and challenges was just.... not fun, and felt like such a waste of time

The challenges in the DLC was straight bullshit most of the time.

And I always hated what Spidey said whenever he didn't get gold on any of them. Like why do you actually give a shit? She's an actual insane person.

Idr the little shits' name but the guide kid in Blade and Soul.

No one mentioned Noober from Baldur's Gate yet...

Since we're on the topic of Far Cry, pretty much every single character from Far Cry 6. The gameplay was fun but the story and writing was so incredibly bad that I had to force myself to complete story missions.

Unpopular opinion but Wheatley from Portal 2 can go breathe vacuum.

Not a fan of Steven Merchant and felt his voice acting was of placeholder-quality. Made the game considerably less enjoyable to play through with him desperately trying to be funny.

I should look for a mod, because even Gilbert Gottfried would be less irritating.

For me it’s Jessica Chobot replacing the journalist in Mass Effect 2.

Claire Redfield in darkside chronicles. I saw that ASS and that was the last I saw of it. Before Stellar Blade, there was Claire Redfield. Claire Redfield is awesome.

Hrm, tricky.

If I had to pick one, Zenos from FFXIV. Incredibly overdone - even in a japanese-game context - hero foil, always used at moments where his presence doesn't fit the tone and interrupts an otherwise consistent tonal progression.

He among other things wastes much of the catarsis of the story's ultimate ending in Endwalker by adding a 6-10 minute incredibly boring battle with a ton of exposition for no reason right in the middle of it.

Zenos. Zenos. Zenos.

I cannot update this enough. Just completed the Endbringer MSQ, and holy hell. His entire character, premise, every stupid monologue, every cutscene, his entire arc. Banal and awful. Felt like some 6yo on DBZ crack wrote his entire plotline.

I just searched for any reference of Zenos and I'm glad you posted this. His existence serves zero purpose in the story. Zero.

That is all, thank you!

Mel from MGS. The flirting and hero worship of a guy she'd only read about, too much

Kim Kitsuragi.

Taion from XC3. He’s just… Edgy McEdgelord

That girl in monster hunter world is SO BASIC.

John Bradford from X-Com 2, he stopped me playing to tell me something he told me 100 times already.
