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 …
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!
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.
Hey listen!
Link! Link! LINK! LISTEN!
Bloody Paimon. (Genshin Impact)
And this is coming from someone who still logs on frequently. All I want is to mute her.
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)_/¯
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 in the cult, 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.
Mr clippy. Word was so much more fun without him, word isn’t very fun, without Mr clippy it might’ve been goty
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 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!
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.
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.
Natalya in Goldeneye.
My friends and I called all annoying companion/escort characters “Buttfuck”. Natalia was the buttfuckiest Buttfuck.
Tingle can swing from my nuts
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!”
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.
Wyll and Gale from BG3 were both suuuuuuper boring companions.
I had a bit of an inverse experience between the two. My gut reaction to Wyll was good, but his story made me dislike him, but Gale I disliked off the bat but came to appreciate after a bit of dialogue.
Wyll’s act 3 content feels so stupid, where he suddenly starts ego tripping and becomes less and less likeable. “The blade of avernus” my ass
I thought they were both delightful, but neither’s storyline had the emotional payoff that something like Shadowheart’s or Karlach’s had.
Yeah for real, its almost impressive to give them the storylines they had but make them just so boring compared to big K
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?
