Villains/antagonists or otherwise.
I’ve been watching some Fable 3 lets plays and was reminded of how much I absolutely hated Reaver. You can tell Lionhead was really going for someone that you would “love to hate,” but every scene with him in it is miserable. Absolutely ridiculous that you can’t kill him.
For a character from an actually well written video game, Eric in Tony Hawk’s Underground. Hitting the last line in the game and watching your character punch him out in a cutscene afterwards is extremely cathartic.
Gideon Olfnir.
Dude’s a huge prick the moment you meet him, with his irritated, condescending tone. Then he sends his goon after you and lies about it. “Oh, Ensha? He just got a little ahead of himself. It’s all good, you killed him didn’t you? No harm, no foul.”
Then he tries to stop you from claiming the Elden Throne because… He’s jealous? He’s lost his fucking mind over the fact you, a lowly Tarnished, managed to get that far? I really don’t know. It’s a bit confusing, well beyond other weird shit in a Fromsoft game, and part of it could just be how this game in particular was a collaberative effort with GRRM and there is likely a huge difference in what Martin wrote for the backstory, and how Miyazaki “corrupted” it.
I really don’t understand the dude. Maybe there’s an item description that would give some context… 🤔
