Every Zelda and persona game...


Let me guess, because they are silent?

Tales of the Abyss, only the first half though. I wanted to punch Luke in the face so many times. But I suppose that was the point..with the character development and all.

Bravely Default: Agnes and Tiz were incredibly boring to me. I liked Edea and Ringabel a lot more...though I was annoyed at how dumb the former turned out to me in regards to a plot twist regarding the latter (seriously, how could you not recognize him?)

Baten Kaitos: I never played the game, but I heard some pretty bad things about the MC. Though based on another twist I read about, I feel like that's also probably intentional.

On a side note, I never understood the hate towards silent protaganists/avatars, since the point of them is supposed to allow the player to insert themselves into the story. I can't honestly hate them anymore than I hate myself :P.

Only game that comes to mind as having bad protagonists is Final Fantasy X and maybe Bravely Default.

Dragon Age Inquisition, I actively disliked my own character. Everyone else was great though.

Is it that with freedom to create a character you didn't like their direction or that because the characters are voiced and generally we are meant to be playing a good person, we are limited in our choices? (the latter is my view)

In DA:O we could basically create a human hating elf who murders people for fun. in DA:I the Inquisitor was a blank slate personality.

 

For me Vaan, blah blah sky pirate bullcrap, rest of the main cast were good though.


With you on the latter.  Even the "renegade/evil" choices were still a bit too civil for me.

Honestly, the more I think about it, I do believe that Fire Emblem and Halo (most FPS I've played ignoring Bioshock really) fall into this.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

You didn't like Lyn, nor Elliwood nor Hector in Blazing Swords?

Final Fantasy XII

Wouldn't call Vann a terrible character but he was a terrible protagonist.
