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.

    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.

    Unpopular opinion but Wheatley from Portal 2 can go breathe vacuum.

    Not a fan of Steven Merchant and felt his voice acting was of placeholder-quality. Made the game considerably less enjoyable to play through with him desperately trying to be funny.

    I should look for a mod, because even Gilbert Gottfried would be less irritating.

      His annoyingness is part of the core plot. The progression works excellently.

      • “This guy’s an idiot”

      • “This guy’s an idiot, but funny.”

      • “Ok, too much of idiot guy, I want glados back.”

      • “Oh, hi glados”

      • Idiot guy gets really annoying.

      • Hey glados, can we go kill idiot guy together?"

      • Space Space SPACE, SPAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEEEE!!!

    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.

        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.

      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.

    Claire Redfield in darkside chronicles. I saw that ASS and that was the last I saw of it. Before Stellar Blade, there was Claire Redfield. Claire Redfield is awesome.

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

    The first that comes to mind is the entire crew in Pikmin 4, and particularly Collin. Those little chatterboxes never ever shut up or cease giving you advice on things you already know how to do. I hate them so much.

    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.

  • Screwball in Spider-man for ps4/ps5. Everything about the character and challenges was just… not fun, and felt like such a waste of time

      The challenges in the DLC was straight bullshit most of the time.

      And I always hated what Spidey said whenever he didn’t get gold on any of them. Like why do you actually give a shit? She’s an actual insane person.

    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.

    Since we’re on the topic of Far Cry, pretty much every single character from Far Cry 6. The gameplay was fun but the story and writing was so incredibly bad that I had to force myself to complete story missions.
