Biggest douchebag NPC's in gaming?

[The_Blue_Rider]

So some of you may remember my thread from a few days ago, "Just got Dark Souls, any tips for a beginner", well I've played for just over 14 hours now and I've gotten through Blighttown (Havent killed the boss yet, gonna come back for that).

Now, Blighttown was a gut wrenching experience, but it felt great to escape to the Valley of Drakes with a New Londo Key in hand, and a shitload of souls in my possession, also a new firekeeper soul that I recieved from Blighttown. Now imagine the look on my face when I came back to find

Spoiler: If you havent passed through Blighttown yet, dont read this as it may spoil some part of the game for you

That Lautrec, had killed the Fire Keeper, and I'd lost access to the Firelink Shrine Bonfire, and I could no longer upgrade my Estus flask. Needless to say I was really angry, especially because I'd known he would try something like that, but I wanted to see it play out, as I assumed he would try kill her in some confrontation I could prevent. Now I know you can kill him in Anor Londo and get the Firekeepers soul back, but it in no way excuses his dickass action. I look forward greatly to murdering him slowly.

And yeah that is why Knight Lautrec is the biggest douchebag I've encountered in gaming. How about you Escapists? Who are your biggest Douchebag NPC's?

Also while I'm here I want to give profound thanks to everyone who contributed to my previous Dark Souls thread. Except the dude who said, dont play it, its garbage, and Renegade Shepard who was very insistent on having his fist in my face. It helped a lot guys

The biggest douche bag NPC is Eric Sparrow. He takes every opportuiny possible to screw you over and make you look like a dick infront of Tony Hawk. He 'forgets' to sign you up to the Pro/Am contest in Vancouver, gets you kicked off the team once you finally get Tony's attention and then he steals the jump tape from Hawai'i and says he made the jump.

Fuck that guy. It's a good thing you can make him cry like a ***** in a second playthrough.

Dark Souls NPCs are kind of unsettling that way aren't they? They never ever move when you're looking at them.

Anyway just wait until you meet Patches.

Also if you think Lautrec is a jerk then just be thankful this is Dark Souls and you didn't have to meet Yurt The Silent Chief... Although You know what? Now that I think about it they actually could be the same person?

Never got up to him in Demon's Souls, going from my experience, Demon's Souls seems to be the harder of the two. Which is weird because a lot of people claim the opposite

Any NPC you have to escort is automatically the worst NPC ever... fact.

But if I have to pick a specific NPC I'd go with claptrap. 90s comic relief character never get old

 

[Lugbzurg]

A friend of mine told me about an NPC from the classic Spyro games. His name is "Moneybags".

 

[aguspal]

by conection NPC are enemies to, so I guess this could be considerated another "most hated enemy in videogames" thread.

Not that I am complaining thougt, just noting that.

But in my case, if we go for non enemies... Well, I guess those two blade guys in Skyrim were quite the jerks. So I choose them.

 

[Mikejames]

The Council from Mass Effect's an obvious choice.
Thought saving their lives from the genocidal threat you tried warning them about would make them listen to reason? Pffft.

A friend of mine told me about an NPC from the classic Spyro games. His name is "Moneybags".

My nostalgia dictates that attacking that licentious monopolizer was a greater reward than beating the main villain.

 

[Headdrivehardscrew]

To quote Knight Lautrec: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAH AHAHAHAHAH HAH! HAH!

Now, you might be intrigued to learn that killing Knight Lautrec will feel very, very good.

You might also be intrigued to learn that Knight Lautrec is not the only douche intent on ruining your day in Dark Souls.

TRUST NO ONE. Besides, there's very little you can do to prevent/evade/counter their asshattery. Sometimes there is a way in the form of an early kill (because you KNOW they'll mess with you), sometimes you'd shoot yourself in the foot, unable to patch things up again the way they're supposed to be. But that's Dark Souls for you.

I agree, getting back at him in ripto's rage right at the end was a very very good feeling. Enough of his extortionist antics, im gonna fry his ass!

Also for the OP, there are other fire keepers you can go to in order to upgrade your flask. One such fire keeper is in the swamp(the fair lady, or spidertits if you prefer). There is also one in anor londo at the first bonfire.

As for the biggest douchebag npc in gaming? Hm...hard to say. I am not a fan of Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas, as his legion is downright barbaric(even for the wasteland) to those they deem "immoral". The way they treat women doesn't help their image much either. Unsure if he is the worst though...so I might add more NPC's later.

I hated General Tullius from Skyrim with a passion. I never really played the empire vs rebellion missions, I was fine watching them kill each other, but I go to that dude so I can help out my buddy from Whiterun and get a dragon trap for my troubles, and the sumbitch looks right at me at says 'I'm here to make sure Skyrim remains part of the empire, not to worry about dragons'.

Ignoring the fact that the empires troops were getting torched by the screaming sky-lizards as often as the other guys, I swear that 'I'm the guy currently saving the world, shut up and do what I say' should be a more effective drawcard than it apparently was. What is this 'negotiation' bull when I'm trying to get my job done, if you can't knock the teeth out of a beastie by screaming at it, then I don't think you get an opinion about how things are going to go down.

On that note I always thought it was odd that neither Ulfric nor Tullius thought it might help there cause to spend some effort fighting the dragons. I mean that support of the people of Skyrim and their protection should count for something shouldn't it? Make's me think of ASOIF where everyone,

Spoiler

bar Stannis, just ignores the Night's Watch in their warnings about the others and mance rayders army.

On topic, the biggest prick NPC for me was probably the Council from Mass Effect. They literally ignore you throughout the game, then you save them and they continue to ignore you. Dumbshit is an apt word when used in reference of the Council.

 

[DoPo]

Prince LaCroix from Bloodlines.

Spoiler: A little bit of spoiler but still

He is sending you to obviously dangerous missions with the intent that you die. He did save you by necessity only - who would care if you "accidentally" die. And he's bossing you around all the time. You could actually refuse to do his orders, but LaCroix just mind controls you into doing his bidding anyway. The bastard. Finally, he outright tries to get you killed - no (bad) subtlety about it. You could still ally with him, in which case he'll be "Ooh, sorry, I was, like, so misinformed" and lie to you again. The only reason to go with it, if you ask me, is to just see how low he can go - he ain't convincing anybody.

And Ming Xiao

Spoiler: Again a little bit of spoiler

She's just such an arrogant *****. Any time you talk to her she'll throw not so subtle insults at you and all vampires and when you call her out on them, she's like "No, you obviously misunderstand". Fuck. You. It's worse if you ally with her. FUCK! YOU! That's the worse ending you can get.

And interestingly, Smiling Jack talks and mentions that "he doesn't trust anybody with an X in the name". He was technically speaking about LaCroix but I'm still not sure if it was intentional or not that Ming Xiao also fits.

 

[Baghram]

Handsome Jack from Borderlands two. The guy is awesome, but what a major douchebag. He's just about the most downright evil guy I've seen in videogames. At the same level as Kafka even.

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Everyone's forgetting the obvious:

Spoiler: This asshole

 

[scorptatious]

Anyway just wait until you meet Patches.

Oh god, fuck Patches. Kinda funny how he's appeared in both games.

When he tricked me a second time in Dark Souls, I went up and kicked his ass without a second thought.

Patches: Let's talk about thi...

*greatsword'd off a cliff*

A friend of mine told me about an NPC from the classic Spyro games. His name is "Moneybags".

Fuck that guy too! Stupid greedy ass bear...

 

[WWmelb]

Seconded that this asshole


Way bigger douchebag than
