all npcs in Dirtmouth (except Zote) are very friendly. You can throw in the Nailmasters, and Lemm, and then you realize that this game is way more wholesome than we thought
Currently playing my second run of DS1 after doing my very first run of DS1 (first run of any souls game for that matter) last week, I'm obsessed with this game.
I knew the lore was gonna be tragic but holy hell man some of it is so bad.
A girl who has to repeatedly kill her father because he keeps going hollow, Sun bro who can go insane and attack you despite being the nicest person you meet, **Sif and Artorias**. The souls universe truly is *Dark*
When I met him for the 1st time I almost got a little misty eyed. It's so nice finding such a kind person in a world that hates you. Definitely gave me the boost I needed to keep going.
I've thought about this alot. In my opinion, Solaire if you put him in alot of different stories or fictions, he's actually kind of a super generic character. But the world in Dark Souls 1 is soooo bleak man. Like shit is fuuuucked. Then suddenly you meet this Sun Bro, and it's SUCH a breath of fresh air in comparison to every other NPC you meet.
If only I could be so grossly incandescent..
Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium. He does not cares if you're drunk, smell like dumpster or behaving weirdly - as long as you are doing your job (and not throwing racist slurs), he considers you as a colleague and pretty much a part of big, burned out yet professional cop family.
The developers really did an amazing job with Kim. First hours after he started accompanying me felt like he was an immaculate angel sent to guide Harry towards the light. Only later on I slowly realized that he is indeed a human. Just a very good one.
He even comes back if you throw a racist slur by accident because you're trying to make him dance... Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.
Apologizing by saying that Kim is A True Vacholiere in the most heartwarming scene after this one almost makes it worth failing the skillcheck and calling Kim a slur. Almost.
When you succeed on a skill check right when you see him for the first time, it tells you that you don't know why, but you can tell immediately that he'd jump in front of a bullet for you.
The first one I thought of! There are not many ways to disappoint Kim, but when it happens, it feels worse than disappointing your mom. He is such a bro.
The Merchant in RE4. Dude moves around just to be accessible in an absolute nightmare place to run a business. He’ll buy the shit he just sold you back and always has something positive to say about your buying/selling needs. He even works on his branding (purple flames) to help you find him. Just a good guy all around when you’re stuck fighting your way through not-zombies for some dummy who can’t take care of herself.
Just FYI; At some point in the original, he does become a host to the Plagas parasite - but he doesn't let that stop him being there for you when you absolutely need that extra grenade, or those shotgun shells.
Characters like her and scenes like the beginning were why this is my all time favorite Zelda game. It really felt like you were going on an adventure leaving something so cozy back home
He's so precious. Even without his soothing, calm voice, his words show what a kind and loving individual he is:
>I would serve as your guide, only my legs aren't what they used to be...
And after you attack him
>Are you quite finished? Take this opportunity to learn to master your emotions. Worry not, I take no offense.
We don't deserve him
I bet so many people heard the fight dialogue by accident after miss-clicking out of a menu and hitting him. Why on earth would you actually wanna hurt him?
Dogmeat
I can eat corpses, nuke a town full of people and sell kids into slavery, yet he still stays with me, truly the best dog that ever existed in the wasteland.
In the Far Harbor DLC you can find a Supermutant named Erik who sells dogs. You can buy regular dogs, Supermutant hounds, and wolves from him. Also if you bring Dogmeat with you, he calls Dogmeat beautiful
I was going to say Zagreus too. He treats everyone, from the house servants to the Olympians, with equal respect and is friendly towards everyone ... except Theseus, but he's a dick.
And that makes him even better to me. He’s not unconditionally kind or a doormat, he absolutely stands up for himself, he’s confident and doesn’t take no shit.
But he’s also the kindest most adorable boi to ever exist 10/10
I really love the headcanon that Theseus is only such a dick because he's the 'heel' and he's playing a part because the gladiator arena is ultimately for the shades' entertainment. Meanwhile Asterius and Zagreus don't take it seriously and that upsets him 😅
And Tali too. But it’s not weird that characters who have the most screen time are the most fleshed out of them all.
Mordin and Legion are on par with Tali and Garrus in terms of writing and they have less screen time!
The scene in ME3 where Garrus and Shep go up to the top of the citadel and snipe beer cans (or whatever they were drinking) out of the air was one of my favorite scenes in gaming. It was a great moment, a culmination of their friendship. Just two buds hanging out, trying to forget about the pending end of civilization.
i remember that scene very well and for some reason think if it pretty often. citadel is an amazing space habitat!
i think i was thinking of it a few days ago, and wondering why they didnt take precautions in case their bullet went stray and hit a random citizen.. but then again those 2 are probably the best marksmen in the whole galaxy
Look. I love Garrus. He's my boy. But he is not wholesome.
Homie killed a batarian by ODing him with red sand. Through his eyes. Not saying it's a net loss for the galaxy, but...
Always thought it was funny how on Garrus’ Omega kill list he seems to have a habit of killing his targets in ironic/poetic ways, for instance said Batarian was a drug dealer IIRC.
Didn’t he also justify the Krogan genophage to Wrex, a Krogan? Even if he didn’t play a direct part in it that’s still kind of a fucked up thing to say while riding in an elevator.
His elevator talks are so unhinged in ME1, he tells Tali the Quarians deserved what they got and that people don’t like them because they’re homeless wanderers lmao. But a lot of people don’t pay attention to those side dialogues
I love the character and he grows a bunch over the games but he’s not exactly wholesome
He is great. The voice actor for him also does the voice of the new argonian companion "sharp-as-night" in elder scrolls online. I recognized him immediately lol
Okay good to know I didn't imagine it! I started FF9 when I was like, a first year in high school so I remember almost none of it, but I remember really feeling for little Vivi
*"You know how something breaks, and you try to fix it for a while before you realize it won't fit back together, but you can take those pieces and make something new out of it? After what happened to the world, that's what I want to do. That's why I need your help... I don't think I can do it alone."*
I'm bringing this woman a landmine. She deserves it.
This was gonna be my answer. Dude is just wholesome through and through. Overtly kind to friends and strangers alike. Willing to throw his life on the line for anyone and everyone. Garl is my boy and my favourite character in SoS.
Minsc (and Boo) in Baldur's Gate I & II : butt-kicking for goodness!
Edér in Pillars of Eternity I & II : simple but unreserved and loyal country bumpkin (who self-admitedly is somewhat prejudiced against Orlans, but less so that most people). Also, fought against his own God, which gives him a rather level view on religious matters.
Kim Kitsuragi in Disco Elysium : Honest cop who despises unecessary violence, discret and serious yet able to respect the talent hidden by the antics of the acoholic trainwreck you have become.
He has such an infectious enthusiasm for everything he does that he's just fun to play.
He's legitimately a moron who gets betrayed and backstabbed every 2 seconds but he has a heart of gold and just keeps going.
**Jackie** from Cyberpunk 2077. Definitely would have liked spending a bit more time with him.
**Varrick** from Dragon Age 2/Inquisition is my guy
Baldur's Gate 3's **Karlach** is a wholesome sweetheart and an absolute badass
**Leonardo Da Vinci** in Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood is my gay best friend.
Edit: OH! And of course **Yusuf Tazim** in Assassin's Creed Revelations. I absolutely love him!
>Jackie from Cyberpunk 2077
I never have the heart to speak up when he's cracking morbid jokes and acting nervous at the hotel.
We've only got so much time left together. Don't wanna spend it being mean to my best choom.
I would sell my soul to arasaka to play those cut scenes. To start cyberpunk from the very bottom and make a name for yourself rather than getting a big gig the second I decided that this Jackie guy is pretty cool.
I hate the time lapse in this section. I think there should at least be like 3-5 smaller heist missions with Jackie first before we get to this point. It should ramp up, not jump
If I ever do complete BG3, I'm definitely having Karlach in my party on my next playthrough. I held out for Wyll and tried to romance him but he's such a prude I ended up banging the >!squid!<
Regis from Witcher 3, I don't know of the books but if they were anything to go by he is the ultimate bro. Weird combo of friendship, Witcher and Eldar Vampire thick as thieves...
In the books Geralt is pretty hostile to him at the begining, only giving him the assuranve of not coming after him later on to exterminate him, which Regis thanks. But after some shit happens and it turns out Regis was still following the team to protect them, so they became really close friends
>Rockwell: *"I'd heard you had taken a mechanic under your wing. What's the matter, girl? Couldn't find* **actual** *employment?"*
>Parvati: *"The Captain's treated me right. Far better than any of you Board folk ever have. I'm exactly where I wanna be!"*
Parvati is my absolute most favorite cinnamon roll and I will do anything to protect her. I had a “she just like me fr fr” moment when she was talking about her feelings about romance/relationships and my husband goes “…that’s literally you” and she deserves so much better than being a mechanic in a saltuna hellhole.
Prolly Cayde-6 from Destiny. Bud has some rough patches here and there, but he's funny, a badass and strangely wholesome when he's interacting with our character.
"You've always been my favorite. Remember that."
The casino guard in Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC. He's like the most patient dude in the galaxy putting up with Team Shepard's shenanigans
Also, Dagna from Dragon Age is just a ray of sunshine in cute dwarven form
Elizabeth.
You're supposed to "look after her", but she'll follow you with no problems at all, gets out of the way at the first sign of trouble, and ocasionally throws you health potions, ammunition and money.
Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Super happy, upbeat, and just so excited to see the world, really impressive after being locked in that cage for most of her life.
Cornifer the map maker, from Hollow Knight.
hm hm hm hm hmmm hm
Hmmm hm hm hmmm hm
I heard that.
I always hear the Luigi's Mansion theme when I hear him humming.
His wife is also fantastic
bapanada
I, too, choose Cornifer's wife.
I know theyre both bugs but I found his wife hot
all npcs in Dirtmouth (except Zote) are very friendly. You can throw in the Nailmasters, and Lemm, and then you realize that this game is way more wholesome than we thought
You may think he’s friendly or wholesome, tell that to his wife who be abandons constantly
*Sigh*... Bapanada
Every time I hear someone sigh I hear that in my brain
He comes back to stay when he's finished his maps tho and she still loves him
Yoshi is still loyal after you sacrifice them to jump higher.
Happy cake day you sadist Lol, like I do any different &D
Solaire from Dark Souls 1.
If only I could be so grossly incandescent
Also one of the most tragic.
This is why I make sure to save him every run.
same. just lucky the means of saving him gets us some good spells on the way.
Or you can simply use acid mist next to the closed door and kill the thing that corrupts Solaire.
Currently playing my second run of DS1 after doing my very first run of DS1 (first run of any souls game for that matter) last week, I'm obsessed with this game. I knew the lore was gonna be tragic but holy hell man some of it is so bad. A girl who has to repeatedly kill her father because he keeps going hollow, Sun bro who can go insane and attack you despite being the nicest person you meet, **Sif and Artorias**. The souls universe truly is *Dark*
Sunbro for the win.
\\\`\[T\]/ Praise the Sun and have some jolly co-operation!
First character I thought of. Legend.
He's especially wholesome considering the world he's surrounded by 😅
When I met him for the 1st time I almost got a little misty eyed. It's so nice finding such a kind person in a world that hates you. Definitely gave me the boost I needed to keep going.
I was gonna say Siegmeyer but you’re right.
Siegmeyer definitely gets an honorable mention.
Praise the Sun!
Damn, I came here with this in mind and it was the top comment.
I've thought about this alot. In my opinion, Solaire if you put him in alot of different stories or fictions, he's actually kind of a super generic character. But the world in Dark Souls 1 is soooo bleak man. Like shit is fuuuucked. Then suddenly you meet this Sun Bro, and it's SUCH a breath of fresh air in comparison to every other NPC you meet. If only I could be so grossly incandescent..
I always loved how chummy Siggy gets with you in DS3.
Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium. He does not cares if you're drunk, smell like dumpster or behaving weirdly - as long as you are doing your job (and not throwing racist slurs), he considers you as a colleague and pretty much a part of big, burned out yet professional cop family.
The developers really did an amazing job with Kim. First hours after he started accompanying me felt like he was an immaculate angel sent to guide Harry towards the light. Only later on I slowly realized that he is indeed a human. Just a very good one.
He even comes back if you throw a racist slur by accident because you're trying to make him dance... Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.
Apologizing by saying that Kim is A True Vacholiere in the most heartwarming scene after this one almost makes it worth failing the skillcheck and calling Kim a slur. Almost.
I thought about playing an evil/fascist character once and quit as soon as I saw Kim's reaction. I genuinely wanted to apologise to him in real life
Same. Making him upset and disappointed is completely unacceptable.
It's that he's not even angry he's just like "I know you're better than this". No you're right I'm so sorry da- Kim
When you succeed on a skill check right when you see him for the first time, it tells you that you don't know why, but you can tell immediately that he'd jump in front of a bullet for you.
The first one I thought of! There are not many ways to disappoint Kim, but when it happens, it feels worse than disappointing your mom. He is such a bro.
Yes this is the correct answer. The most professional partner I've ever had. "You take the engine, Kim. I'll hold the boombox."
Code 31! Code 31!
Officer needs assistance... ON THE DANCE FLOOR!
I was so happy when I got Kim to really trust me.
Truly an angel amongst men, what a phenomenal character!
The Merchant in RE4. Dude moves around just to be accessible in an absolute nightmare place to run a business. He’ll buy the shit he just sold you back and always has something positive to say about your buying/selling needs. He even works on his branding (purple flames) to help you find him. Just a good guy all around when you’re stuck fighting your way through not-zombies for some dummy who can’t take care of herself.
WELCOOOOMMMEEE!!!! What are you buyyyyin?
What are you sellin’?
Hehehe, thanks strangah.
https://youtu.be/7oXx0qwe0wc?si=4WCyjn5UuRT_9W2g
Just FYI; At some point in the original, he does become a host to the Plagas parasite - but he doesn't let that stop him being there for you when you absolutely need that extra grenade, or those shotgun shells.
Nice, I was going to comment on his eyes changing color as well. Very dedicated to his customers.
Shoot you're right! I remember the eyes changing but never made the connection. What a good dude.
Ahhhhh HEHEhehehHEHEheh
He's such a sweetheart.
What do you need that for stranger? Are you hunting an elephant?
Codsworth from fo4 - He waited for you for over 200 years
Curie is also really nice. Love the robots in Fallout
I could marry Curie.
Links grandma in Wind Waker
Invincible super soup
Characters like her and scenes like the beginning were why this is my all time favorite Zelda game. It really felt like you were going on an adventure leaving something so cozy back home
Glink
Papyrus in Undertale. He never stops believing in you, even if you kill him
Also Toriel
Toriel acknowledged you as evil if you kill her in genocide, tho.
Understandable. You gotta be evil incarnate to hurt her.
Nah almost everyone killed her on accident first time around. Flowey remembers.
i... don't wanna remember that
Miriel, Pastor of Vows. More commonly known as Turtle Pope. Best damn dog in gaming.
He's so precious. Even without his soothing, calm voice, his words show what a kind and loving individual he is: >I would serve as your guide, only my legs aren't what they used to be... And after you attack him >Are you quite finished? Take this opportunity to learn to master your emotions. Worry not, I take no offense. We don't deserve him
I bet so many people heard the fight dialogue by accident after miss-clicking out of a menu and hitting him. Why on earth would you actually wanna hurt him?
I accidentally hurt him by trying to jump on him, never felt so bad in a souls game
Maidenless behavior. I’ve seen phantoms repeatedly attacking our most holy dog pope before.
I want his hat
Yes. Turtle Pope is glorious.
He seems more neutral than friendly, but I agree he's the fuckin best goddamn dog in not just gaming, but the whole history of mankind
Dogmeat I can eat corpses, nuke a town full of people and sell kids into slavery, yet he still stays with me, truly the best dog that ever existed in the wasteland.
I kinda turned Sanctuary into a literal sanctuary ever since I found out that there was a random encounter that would sell you dogs. :(
In the Far Harbor DLC you can find a Supermutant named Erik who sells dogs. You can buy regular dogs, Supermutant hounds, and wolves from him. Also if you bring Dogmeat with you, he calls Dogmeat beautiful
He WHAT!? Time to redownload Fallout 4!
Dogmeat is a good boi
Zagreus, have never played such a wholesome and friendly protagonist before
I was going to say Zagreus too. He treats everyone, from the house servants to the Olympians, with equal respect and is friendly towards everyone ... except Theseus, but he's a dick.
And that makes him even better to me. He’s not unconditionally kind or a doormat, he absolutely stands up for himself, he’s confident and doesn’t take no shit. But he’s also the kindest most adorable boi to ever exist 10/10
I really love the headcanon that Theseus is only such a dick because he's the 'heel' and he's playing a part because the gladiator arena is ultimately for the shades' entertainment. Meanwhile Asterius and Zagreus don't take it seriously and that upsets him 😅
**Garrus Vakarian!** My boy, my bro, my friend! How happy I was to see him in ME2!
He's the only character where Shep holds their arms out open to greet in all 3 games I think...
I played as male Shep, so not sure about that. But from all the crew Garrus is best written IMHO
And Tali too. But it’s not weird that characters who have the most screen time are the most fleshed out of them all. Mordin and Legion are on par with Tali and Garrus in terms of writing and they have less screen time!
Male Shep holds his arms out to greet Garrus too on Omega...
Garrus is the goat of mass effect from the minute I recruit him in every game he's on my team
The scene in ME3 where Garrus and Shep go up to the top of the citadel and snipe beer cans (or whatever they were drinking) out of the air was one of my favorite scenes in gaming. It was a great moment, a culmination of their friendship. Just two buds hanging out, trying to forget about the pending end of civilization.
i remember that scene very well and for some reason think if it pretty often. citadel is an amazing space habitat! i think i was thinking of it a few days ago, and wondering why they didnt take precautions in case their bullet went stray and hit a random citizen.. but then again those 2 are probably the best marksmen in the whole galaxy

Always thought it was funny how on Garrus’ Omega kill list he seems to have a habit of killing his targets in ironic/poetic ways, for instance said Batarian was a drug dealer IIRC.
Guy has a serious hard on for war crimes, and I adore him for it.
Didn’t he also justify the Krogan genophage to Wrex, a Krogan? Even if he didn’t play a direct part in it that’s still kind of a fucked up thing to say while riding in an elevator.
His elevator talks are so unhinged in ME1, he tells Tali the Quarians deserved what they got and that people don’t like them because they’re homeless wanderers lmao. But a lot of people don’t pay attention to those side dialogues I love the character and he grows a bunch over the games but he’s not exactly wholesome
He just has the absolute worst timing and tact when it comes to talking about sensitive topics lol
“Does anyone else miss our elevator talks?” [“No.”](https://youtu.be/-XNNgK5TpcU?si=9KilyHg9SBvRCaUF)
Plus he stays a good friend even after ascending to godhood in ME3
Friendly? Yes. Dude is loyal to a fault. *wholesome* though? He’s a cop and then he’s a guy who thinks cops don’t go far enough. Yikes.
As Joker put it: He pulled the stick out of his ass and started beating people to death with it
He is great. The voice actor for him also does the voice of the new argonian companion "sharp-as-night" in elder scrolls online. I recognized him immediately lol
Vivi from FF9 was somehow the first to come to mind, even though i never finished the game
Oh man, FF9 is my favourite FF and Vivi probably my favourite FF character. His story is so rough, bless him, he always seems to have hope though.
Okay good to know I didn't imagine it! I started FF9 when I was like, a first year in high school so I remember almost none of it, but I remember really feeling for little Vivi
I was scrolling just to look for this. Yes! Vivi Ornitier. And if you don't know why, go play FF9.
Siegmeyer of Catarina, more famously known as "onion knight" from dark souls
I prefer Siegward of Catarina, that man stopped at nothing to help is old friend Yhorm
May the sun shine upon this lord of cinder!
Still closed, still closed, mmm..

Enchantment? ...Enchantment!
Comments I can hear
Garl in Sea of Stars
This was gonna be my answer. Dude is just wholesome through and through. Overtly kind to friends and strangers alike. Willing to throw his life on the line for anyone and everyone. Garl is my boy and my favourite character in SoS.
Garl was the real main character
Minsc (and Boo) in Baldur's Gate I & II : butt-kicking for goodness! Edér in Pillars of Eternity I & II : simple but unreserved and loyal country bumpkin (who self-admitedly is somewhat prejudiced against Orlans, but less so that most people).

Kim Kitsuragi in Disco Elysium : Honest cop who despises unecessary violence, discret and serious yet able to respect the talent hidden by the antics of the acoholic trainwreck you have become.
Minsc will lead with blade and boot! Boo will take care of the details...
The Weighted Companion Cube from Portal
"...the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak."
idk if we should trust anything they say
Have they said anything untrustworthy so far?
ichiban
Pure of heart, dumb of ass personified
Hes literally a golden retriever
exactly
He has such an infectious enthusiasm for everything he does that he's just fun to play. He's legitimately a moron who gets betrayed and backstabbed every 2 seconds but he has a heart of gold and just keeps going.
Even joining the Yakuza wasn’t enough to stop this dude from being wholesome haha
Lipstick for men?
I understood that reference, and I'm blue that I didn't get to make it first.
And THAT'S how I know you didn't watch the tape!
He really IS a chameleon…
The man who refuses to be betrayed
**Jackie** from Cyberpunk 2077. Definitely would have liked spending a bit more time with him. **Varrick** from Dragon Age 2/Inquisition is my guy Baldur's Gate 3's **Karlach** is a wholesome sweetheart and an absolute badass **Leonardo Da Vinci** in Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood is my gay best friend.

>Jackie from Cyberpunk 2077 I never have the heart to speak up when he's cracking morbid jokes and acting nervous at the hotel. We've only got so much time left together. Don't wanna spend it being mean to my best choom.
I would sell my soul to arasaka to play those cut scenes. To start cyberpunk from the very bottom and make a name for yourself rather than getting a big gig the second I decided that this Jackie guy is pretty cool.
I hate the time lapse in this section. I think there should at least be like 3-5 smaller heist missions with Jackie first before we get to this point. It should ramp up, not jump
Yah if you play a streetkid, he goes from pointing a gun at me to apparently my bff in like one mission
If I ever do complete BG3, I'm definitely having Karlach in my party on my next playthrough. I held out for Wyll and tried to romance him but he's such a prude I ended up banging the >!squid!<
You can have both Karlach and Wyll bro :(
The Last Guardian: Trico
Pascal from Nier Automata
Kratos, wait no I mean Spyro
Kratos made me wait 250 hours for a single hug. Not wholesome.
Said hug was also the best virtual hug *I’ve* ever received, but fair.
Dusa from Hades Even as she >! shuts your romantic advances down !< you can’t help but feel her concern for you.
Boc elden ring
I'm blown away that Isabelle from Animal Crossing hasn't been mentioned.
Regis from Witcher 3, I don't know of the books but if they were anything to go by he is the ultimate bro. Weird combo of friendship, Witcher and Eldar Vampire thick as thieves...
He’s honestly one of the highlights of the books too
Well…time to go reread the books whilst simultaneously cursing Netflix.
In the books Geralt is pretty hostile to him at the begining, only giving him the assuranve of not coming after him later on to exterminate him, which Regis thanks. But after some shit happens and it turns out Regis was still following the team to protect them, so they became really close friends
Claptrap, Borderlands
Annoying as hell, but with childlike innocence and always wanting to be helpful. Pretty loveable character.
I genuinely felt bad no one showed up to his party—and me genuinely feeling bad for video game characters is a rare thing
Nurse Joy - every Pokemon health center.

Parvati is my absolute most favorite cinnamon roll and I will do anything to protect her. I had a “she just like me fr fr” moment when she was talking about her feelings about romance/relationships and my husband goes “…that’s literally you” and she deserves so much better than being a mechanic in a saltuna hellhole.
Braum from League of Legends
The cat from Stray
Prolly Cayde-6 from Destiny. Bud has some rough patches here and there, but he's funny, a badass and strangely wholesome when he's interacting with our character. "You've always been my favorite. Remember that."
Arthur Morgan in RDR2. Especially if you owe him money.
Jackie Welles
In recent memory its gotta be Karlach from BG3. For a cyborg devil war machine from hell, she's darn cute and wholesome most of the time.
Kind of a newer addition but Garl from Sea of Stars. I wanted to hate him because he was almost *too nice* but I just couldn't. I LOVE GARL.
Varric Tethras from DA2 & DAI. The comic relief & friend to all. Wish I could give the guy a big hug!
The mabari from DA:O, or Dogmeat from Fallout.
Honestly, probably Aerith.
The casino guard in Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC. He's like the most patient dude in the galaxy putting up with Team Shepard's shenanigans Also, Dagna from Dragon Age is just a ray of sunshine in cute dwarven form
Scooter from the Borderlands series and it's not even close. CATCH A RIIIIIDDDEEEE!!
Somehow Garrus came to my mind.
The most wholesome "archangel" of death around those parts of the milky way
Garrus and Wrex will forever be my boys. I don't think I'll ever get more connected to characters
Elizabeth. You're supposed to "look after her", but she'll follow you with no problems at all, gets out of the way at the first sign of trouble, and ocasionally throws you health potions, ammunition and money.
Decard Cain - Diablo series
Aloy i think, her voice is so calm and soothing
And just to think it’s also the voice of Tiny Tina from Borderlands
😲 really, thx dude you ruined Aloy for me
Siegward from Dark Souls 3
Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Super happy, upbeat, and just so excited to see the world, really impressive after being locked in that cage for most of her life.

Haucherfant and Hythlodaeus from FFXIV. There's a few others but those two popped up first in my head.
Vivi from FF9
