Probably gonna get kicked out of my thread for this but... I like Fi...

Pauline is super endearing. I love her pillow talk with DK.

I also like Shahra from Sonic and the secret rings and think that game is underrated in general.

Thinking about it some more:

Tali, Mass Effect 1-3

The Mass Effect trilogy is packed with great companions, but for me, Tali was the best of them all thanks to a great balance of strength and vulnerability, interesting character conflicts, and being strongly likeable

Solomon Reed, Cyberpunk 2077: The Phantom Liberty

Complex and layered, a stone cold badass, yet still endearing.

Honourable mention to Quiet from MGS5 for, uh, reasons

I was always a Talimancer.

Haha same here, though also Liara as she's awesome as well. Man I miss those games, nothing else since has hit quite the same itch.

When I play Femshep I pick Liara. Partially because I feel weird trying to romance a dude and partially because I like Liara. The only other decent female option is Traynor. With male Shepard I go with Tali. 

I'm still mildly hopeful that the next Mass Effect still exists and will be decent. 

For all the hate she gets, I actually liked her a lot.

Safeguarding her through the game's dangers gave a nice protective feeling, and she was cute enough to be endearing.

As a teenager, I really identified with her dopey, goofy, unsure of herself, and trying her best personality.

While we don't know what happened to her after RE4, I like to think that she had a successful future.

Also, I thought she was hot lol

Morte (Planescape:Torment)     Midna (LoZ: Twilight Princess)

You can carry her around in VR ;)



RE8 has better models though, Elena looks quite real for example.

Ashley has a fun game play session but otherwise she was mostly a nuisance.
