What are some of your favourite video game side characters, and why?

Idk if it counts but Angus from nitw is awsome cause of his vibe and how relatable he is to me -shaggster

joshua graham from f:nv is the best :D he's such a well-written, complex character... love him sm

I like Carth Onasi from KOTR. He looks and acts badass, and he has an interesting storyline, though I don’t think I ever completed it. But I do know his family got killed and he got separated from his son, Dustil, sometime during the Mandalorian War and Dustil transitioned to the dark side. Plus, he’s a good companion, along with Bastila (female number 1 babyyy).

Father Grigori from Half Life 2 and Lautrec from Dark Souls are two examples that come to mind for me. Grigori is just such a fun and mysterious character to me, not to mention the unforgettable climax in which you fight alongside him. It's one of my favorite moments in the series, and I was sad to leave him. When it comes to characters like these, they add an interesting layer to the gaming experience, almost like a question on the rice purity test, revealing different aspects of the game world and story.

Some of my favorite video game side characters are Ellie from The Last of Us, Garrus from Mass Effect, and Tali from the same series. Ellie's resilience and growth make her compelling; Garrus's loyalty and wit are admirable; Tali's intelligence and loyalty make her endearing. These characters add depth and complexity to their respective games, enriching the overall experience. They're not just sidekicks; they're integral to the narrative, often providing emotional support and valuable insights. Plus, their distinct personalities and story arcs make them unforgettable. Each interaction feels meaningful, enhancing immersion and player engagement. They pass the ricepuritytest score for being genuinely captivating and memorable.
