StaceyPowers Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 What is a video game character with relatively generic/few attributes that you still feel attached to? For example, I care a lot about what happens to Jack in BioShock and after, even though he is presented as mostly a “blank slate” for the player to impose their personality on.

Most times I don't really get attached too much to gaming characters because when something bad happens to them, it affects me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 The pilot of Jansen's Helicopter in Deus Ex: Human Revolution comes to mind. We never really knew much about her other than she's one brave soldier putting herself in danger to help Jansen get to the bottom of his conspiracy. She ended up dying and I was a bit moved because she's a real one. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never expected her to do that but it eventually happened which made her a hero in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
