Dr Casper Darling (from Control) is my favourite character of the year - who's yours?
- Thread starter Strings

Thats how I feel. Comtrol was just an incredible game all around
It is simply a personal preference, that's all. I have a soft spot for games with female protagonists. And tend to look down games with males protagonists.
In my defense, this doesn't get in the way of how much I like the game, but it does make me more or less likely to throw money at it. Or how soon I do it.
Gonna have to go with Pavarti. She's just so damn wholesome. I love her interactions with the other companions in the game.
Couldn't stand Pavarti or really most of the cast. I really only cared about Vicar. He didn't make me cringe or make me want to punch them.
My favorite character of the year is Regis from Blood and Wine, I know I am pretty late to the party.
For the actual year 2019, maybe Mr. X? that dude is really scary.
Sekiro's Isshin, maybe?

Blasphemy. LOL. I agree with you on Vicar Max, he was also excellent. The rest were just Ok. I did kind of dig SAM though.
Which... must be like 80+% of games, in this twisted patriarchy? You look down on 80+% of all games? Like, if we're talking generic '00s bald male gruff guy then yeah... fuck that. But this (and many characters) aren't that. So you look down on ANY and ALL games with a male protagonists?
I'm as borderline misandrist as the next self-proclaimed feminist, but this is far out.
Anyways, you do you.
Control actually has a really great cast, very memorable and 'real' characters.
Also let me give a shoutout to the Days Gone characters. Pretty much every single one has way more depth than it initially appears.
For my favorite character of the year...haven't finished the game yet but I'll go with The Cop from Disco Elysium. (Or can I pick the Inland Empire skill, specifically?)

I believe "look down" might be a bit strong. I just look with less enthusiasm. And you're looking at it the wrong way. It has nothing to do with feminism, simply a personal preference. Just as someone might prefer a FPS over a TPS. Although the huge imbalance between male and female protagonists certainly don't do it any favors.
Deacon lives in a post apocalyptic world, though. He has lost everything. And he grows a lot as a person in the game.
Casper Darling was a great character I agree and I liked many of the characters in Control, even if they felt a bit familiar to me in general.
I'm probably forgetting a game/character, but the first that came to mind as a favourite this year is Dedue from Fire Emblem Three Houses.

it's so nice to see so much love for darling on here, thanks OP and everyone else <3
I wish I could contribute but I haven't played either disco elysium or the outer worlds (just started on that one), and I have a feeling my favourite characters will be hiding somewhere in there, hah

The Boar King gets my vote too. Love this guy to bits.
KILL THEM ALL!
Dr. Darling is up there. I also really like Arish; I'm glad nothing happened to him.
Parvati from the Outer Worlds is up there. What an amazing character. I kept her as a companion for almost the entire game; her commentary is great. Felix was good too.

Och samma på svenska!Come on it's Ahti by a Finnish mile, perkele.
I loved Ahti. But yeah, Control's cast is great all around. Parvati from Outer Worlds was pretty fun, as well.
I couldn't justify it. So many characters this year in so many good character driven games I just haven't been in the proper mood to play. I'm missing out on all the AI Somnium characters and Outer Worlds and Disco Elysium. So from what I've played which includes Death Stranding, I'm almost about to say Fragile or SAM but I'm gonna choose Claire from RE2 Remake. She got sort of an overhaul to her characterization but it's a nice coat of paint.
The way the western writer they hired captured that carefree "Wow, this really is a crazy night, huh!" tone with his script for RE2's violent zombie apocalypse was just goooood vibes.

Off the top of my head, these people:
Claude Von Riegan (FE 3 Houses)
Marianne (Fire Emblem 3 Houses also)

The main duo of Disco Elysium definitely takes the cake. I also liked the cast of outerworlds especially Parvati. Also Claude, Dimtri and the cast of fire emblem other than Edlegard
Of the little I have played of new games this year and not counting returning characters
could easily change when I play some better games but she was one of the better elements of that game.

Man I'm playing through it right now and can't stand him personally. Don't like any of the characters really but the game is pretty great.
I've just finished Control. Someone's posted the song right? Watching this in game was amazing.
It's Parvati Holcomb in The Outer Worlds.
What a sweet kid she is. She's just a lovely person.
If you enjoyed Firefly and thought to yourself, "How could they make Kaylee even more likeable?" then Parvati is your answer.
