GreenDamsel: I'll bring up a new discussion topic so the threads isn't completely killed by our finn.
Ok I changed it:
What's your favourite video game character and why...
Okay, that is much easier for me.
I can think of a few that I really love, but today I'll go with Cate Archer from NOLF. The first thing I really liked about the character was that she was the first female protagonist in an action game that wasn't a gimmick or hyper-sexualized (that I knew of, at least). The fact that she was a woman actually made for a pretty good story about equality, which I had never seen in a game.
Aside from that, she is just a badass. Sneaky and stealthy, but also rides a motorcycle and jumps out of airplanes. Able to smooth talk her way through conversations, and is just the perfect amount of smartass. An interesting back story too, if you read the random papers you find in the game. She was a thief who was caught by her future mentor, who offered her a job as an agent instead of going to jail. As a result, she is always totally loyal to her mentor for saving her from her old life.
Boom. Cate Archer.
(and now that I've spent 10 minutes thinking about my favourite and writing it down, it was changed back... tant pis ;-p)
