Ashley Williams. Fuck that racist, christian, poetry loving ****. fuck everything about her.
She's one of the most popular Mass Effect romances and it baffals me just how many Mass Effect players aren't turned off by racism... or maybe it's xenophobia either way she's a religious bigot who quotes old poetry and that means I hate her.
Miranda Lawson. If there's one thing Bioware's good at it's characterizing the fuck out of people and when they try to make a ***** they go all the fucking way. So here you have this schizophrenic, spoiled brat, self centered ***** who has decided to be your self appointed second in command who does nothing but second guess and insult you when she's not shamelessly kissing your ass. And people like her... it...does not...compute...
Liara T'soni. not really though because I liked her in Mass Effect 1 and understood where she was coming from in Mass Effect 2, but then in ME 3 she completely shut down and wouldn't do anything. In general Mass Effect 3 is a poorly written mess but I didn't expect Liara to go all Ice Queen on me. Even in the playthrough where I didn't cheat on her she still cold shouldered me the entire game. That just got under my skin in a way that still bothers me even when all the other shit ME 3 pulled is slowly fading out of my memory.
Giovanna from Max Payne 3. You know if you think about it for a second she's the reason they caught Fabiana 'cause if she didn't run away in chapter 2 Passos could have chased down the helicopter and rescue them both. But that's not the extent of it, when you have to escort her in chapter 10 she wont stop screaming, or running around, or panicking, and then she just let's Passos fly off without you, what's up with that. I also hated Passos for much the same reasons. but instead of screaming and panicking he mostly just took my kills.
Luana from Record of Agarest War. I don't know if people love her (or if anyone's ever even heard of Record of Agarest War) but she is one of the love interests and she's just insufferable. The only thing that matters to her, and that she thinks should matter to anyone else is how "perfect" she is.(If you can imagine me saying that in a high pitched fluttery voice with an undertone of utter disgust then you're right on) All she wants is for a knight in shining armor to sweep her off her feet because she can cook and clean and is selfless and altruistic and utterly transparent because you don't pick up on any of that stuff sub-textually. She blatantly tells you all this crap! And so matter-of-fact-ly! I never get the sense that she likes you it's like you fit her story book definition of "lover" so she just treats you like you're already head over heals for her and it makes me sick.
Mostly I can't bring my self to hate poorly written characters or boring characters.
Like Master Chief, Marcus Fenix, Lightning, any of the COD protagonists (I assume people like them?) but there is one bad character who people like a lot who I despise.
Dom... Fuckin' Dom. That wife murdering ************. So he goes through all this effort to save her and when it seems that saving her might take some effort other than shooting aliens in the face, he shoots her in the head. WHAT THE FUCK? That's proof that this guy doesn't know how (or want to try) to do anything other that kill stuff. And yet he's supposed to be the relatable one of the bunch. Fuck you Epic Games.
