Maybe not the biggest douchebag, but certainly one who might qualify for absolutely the cattiest, worst thing to say: Aerie from Baldur's Gate II with a male protagonist if both her and Jahira's romances are active. You will have just escaped from imprisonment where Jahira discovers her murdered husband and genuinely wails about his death. Due to video game logic, it's possible her romance arc starts about two days game time after that (tripping flags). This might be excused in storyline by saying her feelings were divided. It is possible that Jahira's husband has been dead less than a week before the two start arguing, and Aerie plays the dead husband card like a venomous witch.
Granted, this entire tangled mess drew plenty of ire for bad writing.
Moira from Megaton in Fallout 3. Go get radiation poisoning for you? Travel into a minefield for you? Otherwise take pointless risks for you? You know, I don't think you're quirky; I think you're goddamn sadist and only pretending to be nice. Were I not a player character who got stronger by taking pointless risks, I'd probably ask the Sheriff to do something about your crazy ass. As it is, crazy video game logic dictates you dispense XP somehow when I comply with your nightmarish requests.
Councilor Udina. The rest of the Council can be forgiven in part because Shepard is an absolute idiot for not assembling proof to present to them. Hey, Shep. Take a few pictures of the proto-Reaper or something. Maybe grab a few witness statements from some of your crew. Pick up the body of one of the Collectors and let a few geneticists working for the Council do whatever your crew did in roughly ten seconds, so they too might realize they are the Protheans. Present them with -something- that lets them think you are rational and not merely an excellent soldier who buys lots of conspiracy theories. Shepard really is acting like crazy Captain Ahab from the Council's point of view. But Udina is...I could not shoot him fast enough.
Yes, I know, everyone hates the Council, but mostly because they're seeing events from Shepard's point of view. It's obvious to the players the Reapers are real. From the Council's point of view, it'd be like discovering one of their agents has a wonky conspiracy mindset, asking them for evidence, and having them fail to deliver.
