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.
Do you go to the cloud district often? Oh what am I talking about, of course you don’t!
I’ll have you know there’s no …
Fucking Claptrap…
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
Wdym “another”? Claptrap isn’t an anthro robot lol. He’s a trash can with feet for hands (and I love him)
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.
I realise that is the point, doesn’t make it any less annoying though!

Hey listen!
Link! Link! LINK! LISTEN!
Watch out!
Navi from Ocarina of Time.
Literally the Clippy of Zelda.
“Hey! Listen!”
How about shut the fuck up you stupid firefly from hell?
Whenever I replay OOT I never have a problem with Navi. She rarely hard interrupts, usually just a short tone and flashing C button that goes away after a few seconds. The voice lines only trigger if you press the button to call her, in most cases the hints she gives are genuinely helpful, and stays out of your way for the vast majority of the game.
Fi from skyward sword though… Far worse because she does interrupt gameplay, often repeats what the last dialogue box just fucking told you, and takes several dialogue boxes to tell you what Navi would have taken one to do. I’m glad they significantly overhauled her interactions in the HD release but I’m still going to be hesitant to play that game again
Fi is SO ANNOYING! Skyward Sword has some really excellent bits but Fi is just way too heavy handed.
Watch me dance while I sing in my annoying voice while my mouth opens and closes at inappropriate times!
Yeah Navi is much less intrusive than people remember, she was really well done. And yeah Navi is concise and has a little personality whereas Fi is rambling and repetitive and just completely emotionless (yeah I know lacking emotion was intentional but that doesn’t make it enjoyable)
People probably remember the memes more and it replaced their real memories.
The Memedela Effect?
Zelda’s ghost in Spirit Tracks is even worse. She explains logic that a 5 year old could figure out. “Now we should go over there and do the obvious thing! I’m going to explain this over several sentences making you wait and click through them all!”
Nice Hook reference
I love Navi. It gives me warm fuzzies when she speaks.
Bloody Paimon. (Genshin Impact)
And this is coming from someone who still logs on frequently. All I want is to mute her.
Paimon has that obnoxious Elmo complex. Sing-songy PLUS can’t speak in the first person.
Paimon was a main reason I stopped playing.
there’s a character from Trials of Mana who talks like that & drives me wild. some people switch to the japanese voice cuz of how bad the VA is
Yeah I tried this with Genshin but she’s still as grating ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Mr clippy. Word was so much more fun without him, word isn’t very fun, without Mr clippy it might’ve been goty
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.
I’m replaying the Arkham series and I’d forgotten that Ashley’s VA plays Oracle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting annoyed every time she called Batman until I made that connection.

It’s a pretty standard Turkish name, fyi
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.
It’s for gamer couples who want a really well designed co-op game.
There’s not really much else like it. Most other so called co-op games are just the single player game with a extra player and more bullet spongy enemies.
I’m not sure anyone can play it without rolling their eyes at the cutscenes and plot though.
I see none of you guys has played Resident Evil 4, otherwise we would be shouting “ASHLEY!” all together as one being.
I forgot about Ashley. Literally lost just about all my ammo in one section trying to save her.
SHAUUUUUN
SHAAAUUUUUUNI haven’t played that in like 15 years and it was still the first game that came to mind. Mainly that one area. You know the one.
LEON! HELP ME LEON!
Navi from one of the Zelda games. “Hey!”
The Owl from OOT as well
Oh man, “did you want to hear this again?” Every single fucking time I would be mashing a to get through his dialog and press yes by accident. Every time…
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
Literally every single character in the newest Pokemon game. The entire narrative is so god damned insufferable. I‘ll never buy another Pokemon game again unless it’s like Arceus and has less narrative.
Pokemon didn’t grow up with it’s player base. They try and keep the storylines Kid friendly, when I’d guess 70%+ of players are adults.
Black & White probably had the most “Adult” narratives of the series, delving into the slavery/forced labor a bit. I’d love to see the games delve into some more adult themes, but I doubt it will happen.
That sandwich dude is pretty good written tbh
If you’re talking about the sandwich vendors, they were the worst. Everything about interacting with ingredient or sandwich vendors is soulless.
No no, I mean this one story line with that guy that makes sandwiches to cure his mastiff!
You’re right, those vendors were as soulless as my red-haired ex.
Old man checking in here. Yuffie from ff7 was the most aggravating character ever
I was on Team Yuffie until
ffvii spoiler
she stole my fucking materia
Because of what you have to do to get her to join your party?
Never played the original, but she is so annoying in the remake and her motivation to gather materia is razer thin.
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.
Tingle can swing from my nuts
That’s at least somebody’s idea of a good time…
That shithead skeleton from Undertale. If I an ever forced to play that game, it’s all genocide all day, idc that it’s the hardest mode. That game looks like ass and its fans are insufferable, but that fucking little skeleton deserves to be ground up and snorted.
Which one?
Lol right?
