Quiz: What Sidekick Are You?

The Escapist's week-long look at second bananas begins with this quiz that helps you discover the sidekick lurking deep within you.

Behind every great videogame hero is a great player (that's you!), but behind and slightly to the side of every great videogame hero is a sidekick of some sort. Sometimes they're comic relief, sometimes they're scrappy backup, and sometimes they're just plain annoying, but no matter how they choose to provide support, our games wouldn't be the same without them.

This quiz will let you know where you land in the spectrum of second fiddles. For the purposes of this exercise, we've defined a sidekick as a character that is a) always (or nearly always) in contact with the main character, and b) always (or nearly always) in a support or secondary role. It's not the only definition for sidekick, certainly, or even necessarily the best, but we needed to constrain the choices somehow.

As always, you can take as long as you like to answer the questions, and even take the quiz over again if you don't like the results you get. Be sure to let us know your results!

"No-one can doubt your dedication or your earnest desire to be helpful, but could you tone it down just a bit?"

Actually that sounds about right for me. I liked this quiz, time for some secondary characters to get some lime light.

Clank. Hell yeah! Although I have a feeling this will be another of those quizzes I do repeatedly until I get all the options...

EDIT: Actually, I'll just redo it until I get Navi. Unless the badge causes a constant barrage of 'Hey, listen!' every time I open the escapist...

Interesting choice!
I'm ok with it, though!
Dogmeat kicks 5 shades of ass.
Maybe 6.

Apparently I'm the dog from Duck Hunt. I'm not sure how to take that one...

Oh well, catch me actually being a sidekick anyway - not really my style. Having sidekicks, yes. Being a sidekick, not so much.
