Great topic! @Kidfried

I’ve got a lot of love for many that have been nominated already ( Aloy, Senua, 2B, etc. ) But I’m going to go off script a little and present a few less popular ones:

> Fetch (Infamous First Light)
Way more interesting than Delsin with a more fascinating’flawed hero’ arc. And Neon powers are more fun to play with

> BT-7274 (Titanfall 2)
The big lug is such a perfect companion and so easy to grow emotionally attached to

> Claude Wallace (Valkyria Chronicles 4)
I like how he grows through the game, and comes to win over the respect of his squad

> Sam Porter Bridges (Death Stranding)
One of my favorite games of the generation, and his weird and epic story makes you empathize with him so deeply

> Khotun Khan (Ghost of Tsushima)
I like him as a character even more than Jin. I’m still playing through the game but so far Khan is one of the best villians of this generation imo — so interesting, well-acted, and steals the scene when he’s in it. Cold and brutal, but intelligent and calculated. Can’t wait to see how his story ends.

I had to actually think for a while!

Ludwig the Accursed - Bloodborne
Lady Maria - Bloodborne
Yuri Watanabe - Spider-Man
Theo - Celste
Lemur - Uncharted 4

This was fun! Nice topic @Kidfried.

@nessisonett If we ever have a 'best decapitated head' contest, I reckon Mimir's got it in the bag.

@RogerRoger Yeah I don't really know why I put Uncharted 4, I think I was just making sure that she definitely debuted this gen. You're right though, The Lost Legacy is very much where she comes into her own.

interesting that no-one has said the K-word yet.........

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Thanks for all the nice words. Hasn't been a nice poll here in some time, and it's kinda fun looking back at the generation like this. This gen definitely didn't have a shortage of cool characters.

@Gremio108 what's the k-word?!

@AdamNovice @themcnoisy Ivy, Goro Majima, Geralt and Kat unfortunately didn't debute this gen. Can't lket them in.

Excellent stuff

Gaunter O'Dimm - The Witcher 3
Veronica - Dragon Quest XI
Trilla Suduri - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

ApostateMage

Octane

Abby - The Last of Us Part II: Brilliant and complex character, and a great addition to the franchise.

Mimir - God of War (2018): Best companion head ever.

Casper Darling - Control: Dr. Darling pretty much made the game for me. I loved his slow descend into madness

Astro Bot - Astro Bot Rescue Mission: Cause no other robot can shake his ass like he can.

Gaunter O'Dimm - The Witcher 3: I was going with someone else, but then I was reminded this character existed. He deserves another mention.

Octane

Kidfried

Good job, everyone. I just counted all of them. And already more than 70 unique characters have been submitted!

@Arugula I love Yennefer so much. I'd vote for her on any poll on any subject, but... she's been around longer. I can't include her. Sorry!

@Octane Darling was brilliant, that dance number towards the end is legendary.

@nessisonett @Octane Fun fact - the actor that plays Darling voiced Alan Wake in that game too. And also in Control.

@Kidfried I'm reluctant to say, as I'd be effectively putting in a sixth nomination, so you'll have to figure it out..........!

But it's a character who was there at the very dawn of the generation, I'll say that much. And I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet!

Having looked through my games for this gen it's tricky to pin it down to 5 as there have been many great characters. Luckily some good ones such as Aloy and Gaunter O'Dimm have already been covered by others and well done @Shigurui for making sure Amicia De Rune got a mention. Some memorable interplay between Rhys & Fiona in Tales of the Boderlands, as well as Henry & Delilah in Firewatch came to mind but ultimately didn't make the cut.

So my 5 are

1. Regis - Witcher 3 Blood and Wine. Plays an integral role in the story with his connection to both Geralt and the antagonist. If you haven't played this expansion DO IT.
2. Queen Meve - Thronebreaker: Witcher Tales. If they converted the story of this game to a full open world rpg, it would make a great game.
3. Conor - Detroit Become Human. Surprised he's not yet been mentioned, his plot-line with Hank was the best part of the game for me.
4. Peter Parker/Spider-man - Marvel's Spider-man. Think this might be my favourite version of the comic character, better than the film interpretations.
5. Sadie Adler - RDR2. Known she has already been mentioned but thought she easily my favourite character from the game. I would buy a Sadie Adler story DLC in an instant.

@Arugula

I couldn't figure out who it was until you said that Octane would be the first, then it clicked right away!

@Arugula Must admit, I was surprised @Octane didn't use all five nominations on that character alone.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
