Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful towards you plus is a character you get to interact with, and Joseph is a lunatic who was right.

      There were 2 characters in BL3 that were annoying, and no not the twins. Ava and Lorelei. Both extremely annoying.

    Handler. Everyone’s shovelling coal into the furnace to keep from freezing to death, she’s making roasted yams, and then eats them in front of everyone who is collapsed from exhaustion.

    Everytime I kill the monster, she’s like, “Yay! We did it!”

    What?? Faith might be the only interesting character in the whole FC series. I don’t think you understand the character’s backstory at all, TBH. The original Faith was the Seeds’ sister who died young, so the brothers kidnap young women, drug them (I forget what the name of the drug is in the game), and convince them that they’re Faith Seed. Eventually that woman dies so they replace her with another. It’s horribly tragic and, in my opinion, is leagues above the standard character writing of the Far Cry games

      Yeah, I was puzzled when OP listed Faith as most annoying; I don’t think they paid attention to the story.

      I found her more interesting than many other Far Cry antagonists, let alone other video games characters.

          Ahaha! Yes. So annoying!
          I seem to recall navi being mostly skippable. But the owl having to say everything. But you would still button mash to try and skip, then end up having to see it all again

    That’s a tricky one, but if I had to pick, maybe Ashley from Mass Effect. She’s very insubordinate and disrespectful towards you, I hate her speciesism and (fittingly enough) she’s a Bible thumping Christian, whenever she opens her mouth I wish I could eject her through the airlock. It doesn’t help that you can’t deny her joining the team or even kick her out, safe to say that whenever I get to Virmire I always kill her without even thinking twice.

      Naaaaw, I love him! He’s just a misunderstood ADHD robot without friends. Cut him some slack!

      Did you play his sidequest with getting people to come to his birthday party in Borderlands 2?

      I actually named my home server claptrap. My desktop is chappie (from the movie of the same name, with another anthro robot).

        I did, I played all the borderlands until the third (which I just couldn’t put up with) multiple times and he just annoyed the piss out of me constantly xD

      I agree, but I do think that is kind of the point with him.

      I do not get every other character’s willingness to overlook it and treat him like just another quirky member of the gang. I mean, Tanisha has no social skills but she’s at least clever and has some clear utility to the Raiders.

    Tatsu from Xenoblade Chronicles X is a really annoying little dude. I watched my buddy play through and every time he said anything he’d tell the tv “shut up Tatsu.” It’s arguably more aggravating because the game seems aware of his annoyance since one of the main characters is constantly suggesting she cook him into a dish to eat. I’d say that would be the best outcome.

    The stupid talking book in It Takes Two. Practically destroyed any plot momentum the game had and that’s if it wasn’t beating you over the head with painfully obvious relationship advice.

      I think the girl was even more annoying and creepy as fuck to boot.

      That game should be called Children Ruin Everything.

        I don’t think I’ve ever finished watching a playthrough. I saw the scene with the stuffed elephant and noped out. Who is this game for? All these characters are terrible people.

    Easily the rival in the early Pokémon games. Being so annoyingly cocky and full of themselves just to get wiped by my party’s first slot Pokémon every single time… Bruh, just get a grip on reality, would you?

      The way they were infuriating motivated the player and makes it satisfying when you beat them, so being annoying was absolutely the right choice. The last Pokemon games I played were on DS where your “rivals” were nice and supportive and non-annoying and they were boring and I would have fastforwarded them if I could have.
