There are probably many more British characters if we plumb the depths of Amiga and Spectrum games.

EDIT: I've crossed out some of the choices because of Rule 3. Does Rule 3 mean they can't have been playable at any time, or that they can (be) not have been playable, i.e. they can be a NPC?

Tenpenny of FO3?

Spoiler: May contain Portal 2 spoilers

1) They can't have a scripted (unavoidable) death
-doesn't die
2) They can't be evil (or evil, then turned good)
-turns Evil, but for the first part of the game he's good.
3) They can not have been playable at any time
-Pretty sure you don't get to play as him
4) They can't be a complete idiot
-Wheatly, well, he's not a complete idiot
5) They can't be in a game comprised almost entirely of British characters (e.g. Fable)
-Portal 2, NO ONE apart from other cores and Glados talks.

Meccs from "Giants: Citizen Kabuto"? Though it's a largely British cast so I'm not certain if it counts... Any complaints? Or have I completed the challenge?

Well, the Meccs were, but the rest of the cast were aliens, despite having Scottish or French accents, and whatever Delphi had. So, I'd say it was about half British and half not.

I haven't played the game in a long time, but I'm pretty sure the Meccs were supposed to be Australians.

They fly the British flag in the beginning scene though I think... So I'd imagine that means they're British? Though they act like the best of both in terms of character

There were a lot of British Chars from COD MW wasn't there?

They all died by the end

 

[Walter Sobchak]

Most people in the Fable games, and Soap from the Modern Warfare games.

Why don't you go back and re-read the conditions

Ok I take away the Fable people then.

And soap is playable so no

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

This guy is playable.

Not in the single-player mode of said Timesplitters: Future Perfect he isn't.

I wasn't counting multiplayer, either. [small]Although it is damn good.[/small]

 

[Inkidu]

Um... isn't Lara Croft British?

I take it you haven't played TimeSplitters 2 then.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

I take it you haven't played TimeSplitters 2 then.

No, no I haven't.

[small]Honestly? He was the first British game character to come to my mind. I posted him as I thought he hadn't been mentioned yet. He hadn't. Therefore, I didn't really pay attention to the "rules" of this thread and broke one or two of them. My bad.

Oh well. Life goes on.[/small]

Merril in DA2, she is Welsh.
As for playing as her thats hard to say in a DA game.

Technically she isn't Welsh, as within the game Wales doesn't exist. She is Dalish and just has a Welsh accent. Therefore I don't think she counts as British, just because she has a British accent.
It would be like saying Leliana is French or Zevran is Spanish/Italian.

Indeed it does. As an aside, you should get TimeSplitters 2 if you ever have the chance. It used to be my favourite game.

I've heard very good things about it from a close friend of mine. Cortez is one of the funniest protagonists I've seen in a good long while, and he informed me that the commando is also in Timesplitters 2. Is that true?

I've played and beaten Future Perfect many times over, and it would be great to know what happened before the events of it, assuming a form of continuity is followed.

 

[joemegson94]

The sergeant from Hogs of War, played by Rik Mayall.

 

[Canid117]

I think I win?

I think he was a Kiwi wasn't he?

OP: All your villagers in Black and White. Oh wait nevermind they are complete idiots.
"IF YOU NEED FUCKING SLEEP THEN GO TO FUCKING SLEEP YOU SHITHEADS!" Sorry what were we talking about?

 

[ELD3RGoD]

Yes you can. It would be similar to, say, Texas, deciding it didn't want to be a part of the USA any longer.

You can't. Britain isn't the political system, that's the UK, Britain is just the name of the island.

There is no Island on Earth known as Britain... You have the United Kingdom, consisting of Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland. Then you have the British Isles which include Jersey and Guernsey. But Britain isn't the name of any island. - FACT.

The game isn't really story driven in Time Splitters 2. Cortez is the protagonist, but you actually play a different character each level, in a different time period each time as well. There is a continuity (Future Perfect is a direct sequel), but I haven't played either for such a long time, I don't really remember how the story goes.

And yes, I think the commando is in there, but again I can't really remember, there were so many different, hilarious characters (and what I still believe today to be the best split-screen action ever experienced).

 

[Leviathan_]

Wadsworth and Godfrey from Fallout 3

Captain Anderson from Mass Effect

Andrew Campbell from R.U.S.E., that guy from British intelligence

The English group of soldiers from Call of Duty 3 (Keith and Ingram or whatever his name is)

Parker and Cartwright from the Resistance series

Rowdy and Doug from Silent storm

I win.

Yes it is. Look up a list of the biggest islands, Britain is something like the 7th. Did you not notice that England, Scotland and Wales are part of the same landmass? That landmass is called Britain. FACT.
