Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?
Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?
Personally, it's Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to "I was bullied once" and that's it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful towards you plus is a character you get to interact with, and Joseph is a lunatic who was right.

Navi from Ocarina of Time.
Literally the Clippy of Zelda.
"Hey! Listen!"
How about shut the fuck up you stupid firefly from hell?
Whenever I replay OOT I never have a problem with Navi. She rarely hard interrupts, usually just a short tone and flashing C button that goes away after a few seconds. The voice lines only trigger if you press the button to call her, in most cases the hints she gives are genuinely helpful, and stays out of your way for the vast majority of the game.
Fi from skyward sword though..... Far worse because she does interrupt gameplay, often repeats what the last dialogue box just fucking told you, and takes several dialogue boxes to tell you what Navi would have taken one to do. I'm glad they significantly overhauled her interactions in the HD release but I'm still going to be hesitant to play that game again
Fi is SO ANNOYING! Skyward Sword has some really excellent bits but Fi is just way too heavy handed.
Watch me dance while I sing in my annoying voice while my mouth opens and closes at inappropriate times!
Yeah Navi is much less intrusive than people remember, she was really well done. And yeah Navi is concise and has a little personality whereas Fi is rambling and repetitive and just completely emotionless (yeah I know lacking emotion was intentional but that doesn't make it enjoyable)
People probably remember the memes more and it replaced their real memories.
The Memedela Effect?
Zelda's ghost in Spirit Tracks is even worse. She explains logic that a 5 year old could figure out. "Now we should go over there and do the obvious thing! I'm going to explain this over several sentences making you wait and click through them all!"
I love Navi. It gives me warm fuzzies when she speaks.
Nice Hook reference
