Well, we all know them- blocking your way in tight corridors, looking at you sheepishly while behind them enemies are shooting, delievering ubelievably trite one-liners, voiced by Ronald-Reagan-class actors....
They were crafted to be liked but the only emotion they stir is the desire to see em ragdoll'ized.
So lets have fun- who'se the most annoying NPC you've ever played with (or against)?
Ill start-
My list is long but the #1, without real competitors, has got to be Far Cry's Val:
Horribly voiced, arrogant, unsexy and extremly stupid, Val is truly the anti-thesis for Alyx.
She appears as an active AI towards the end of the game, when it becomes absurdly hard and frustrating... you are growing to hate the game when you have to load your last check-point for the 25th time.. things are bad as they are when that stupid cow decides to appear.
One section I remember with a particular lack of fonding:- she has to arm a turd bomb or something and you have to protcet her from hordes of mercenaries who can take direct hits from your grenade launcher cos they have policeman's plastic shields...
The ***** sure is busy and it takes her quite a while to do her thing, yet she still got the time to watch the show and she'll always commend your oponnents- "damn, they're good" she'll mutter every now and again while their corpses are strewn in bundles, blocking the corridors.
To see her body-builder's-Lara-Croft-wannabe-polygon-of-a-body naked can drive a man gay.
