Honestly the entire cast of Control could qualify, love those characters
How absolutely bizarre. It's not like the game isn't feminist and progressive as fuck just because it has a white male protagonist. Having a flawed, well-developed male protagonist doesn't change that or the fact that the game is loaded with phenomenal female characters who put the majority of characters in the majority of games to shame. Tons of the key plot characters are women, now I think of it. They're incredibly well written.
I too have seen/played/read tons of male detective characters, that doesn't change that this game has some bleeding edge narrative design, worldbuilding and character development. IIRC several of the game's writers were women.
It's also £35, not £50 or anything. It's an indie game.
Gonna have to go with Pavarti. She's just so damn wholesome. I love her interactions with the other companions in the game.
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.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.
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.
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.
Deacon lives in a post apocalyptic world, though. He has lost everything. And he grows a lot as a person in the game.We'll have to agree to disagree since moments such as tackling Renegade camps and the like have Deacon sitting pretty closely to Aiden (Talking to himself about how he's going to murder certain people definitely doesn't help). I will say he at least does a better job of keeping his two personalities separate from those he cares about though. Aiden was definitely more chaotic all-around.
The Boar King gets my vote too. Love this guy to bits.
Och samma på svenska!
Well one of those is a character from this year :)The Crystal Exarch from FFXIV
Emet-Selch is a very close second, but there's something deeply sad and earnest about our robed mineral boy.
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.
