Dragon age is a great example. Look at the Arc of a character like Alistair and then compare it to a character like Hope from FFXIII. The depth of characters and the motivations for how they evolve are worlds apart. Alistair past is slowly developed and how the player chooses to engage Alistair and his struggles shape how he comes to terms with his past. His story has some depth and feels more grounded in reality. Hope listens to some bull shit corny speech and is all of a sudden he is magically changed.

Don't even get me started on Alistair, I couldn't care less if he died, I never got attached to his character or his story which wasn't done well at all. Speaking of corny speeches, Dragon Age tops there too

Don't talk like that about Alistair!

One of the most wonderful characters in video games ever.



A simple yet such a lovable character.
