Nathan Drake is not a good choice since from what I gather he's a mass murderer. The same could be argued about Master Chief but the difference is he's killing aliens to save mankind and in some cases all life in the Galaxy while Nathan Drake kills people in pursuit of treasure.

Drake kills brown people or pirates, which are essentially aliens on the "is the public offended by this" scale.

Nobody take that the wrong way please, I'm not saying it's right, just saying that there wouldn't be some outrage by the public if he reached Chief's popularity.

I dont think thats quite it. There is a level of hipocrisy when it comes to games compared with other mediums. If you look at movies, your regular action heroes (Arnie, Stallone, Bruce Willis etc) slice and dice their way through tons of bad guys but no one considers it wrong. Look at Kill Bill one of the most violent movies ever created (imo). You dont see people going on about how these heroes are bad. However I have seen numerous threads/posts/articles about how Drake is a murderer. Well fucking boo hoo. Drake is always outnumbered is never (or at least rarely?) the instigator of any of the fights he is thrust into - I personally dont have a problem with him killing every enemy he comes into since he is saving himself or his friends.
