Probably the sniper. Staying far back from the battle, and I'm good at Sniper Elite.

That, or the guy who just says "To hell with this shit..." and goes back to bed in the beginning of the game.

Or, more likely, one of the guys at the Bar in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Joker, maybe. I mean as someone else said, he is basically king of one task and otherwise just known for his wit. Sounds almost TOO MUCH like me. *Shudders*

If not Joker...maybe the Courier from New Vegas. I mean if nothing else it seems like I have about that much luck - get shot in the head over a trinket because someone decided it was above my pay grade to be told what I was actually carrying until I messed it up.

Now, if I could PICK one, yet still staying within reason...Nameless MechWarrior Pilot C, I guess? Seems like a job that in an alternate future I'd love to have. I've never been one for the military IRL (keep trying to get a boot camp waver to join the cyberwar division but they won't agree to it... geniuses) but somehow I think piloting a massive fighting robot has much more to do with technical skills and tactics and much less to do with how much you can bench press. I doubt I'd have much of a kill record, but I do think I could survive that.

Alternatively, maybe Van Brugen from DXHR. The guy with no armor and a pistol donated by the real hero who still somehow manages to make it out of the fully surrounded apartment complex unscathed. I'd also give Jensen the money. Just seems like a fair trade - 4k credits for a pistol and my life. Sad thing is, when you think about it, Van Brugen is really more adept at stealth than Adam. But he clearly has a lack of nerve. So yeah...sounds like me.

I can think of a few more but those seem apt enough.

I'd be someone snarking off to the side. I could get involved, but screw it, that shit takes effort and emotional investment that I don't have to spare. So I'll probably be watching on in my convenience, possibly aiding the baddies or goodies depending on whose' cause or characters I sympathize with more.

The Adoring Fan...

...NO! JUST NO!!

OT: One of those small people/merchants in the towns you never visit unless it's for a sidequest. (Arefu in Fallout 3 or Karthwasten in Skyrim)

Or (in my dreams) someone like the hero of Fallout 3. Stalked by things from my past so I just wander. Not a hero but a wanderer. I'll either die as a loser in a ditch and be forgotted OR be ghoulified and forced to wander the Earth for an eternity (not killing myself) until I turn feral and am put down by the hero.

Definitely someone in the background, not important to the story of the game. Just some random NPC.

I'd probably be the merchant/buddy friend to the main protagonist that ends up helping him substantially somehow...
Kinda like Zeke Dunbar in Infamous 2, I find a lot of similarities in his and my attitudes.

Depends. I think I fit well with some of the craziness you get within a JRPG party...

I don't know how to put that, but I'm strange, but kind of lazy...

But given someone a bit pushy that would drag me around, there's every chance I'd go along with trying to save the world or something.

So... Not the lead in a JRPG, but one of the party members, certainly.
(If you're familiar with chrono trigger, Lucca is a good starting point.)

I would be the guy getting ripped to two by Kratos, and then my green orb Life Energy would transfer back to Kratos so he could go on his question to save the world.
...Yeah.

The demo man from TF2. I, like most of my family, speak in a Scottish accent when I'm drunk. Also, I, like most of my family, love to drink. I also like blowing things up.

I'd like to think I'd be one of the rebels at the end of Half Life 2. Spend the first part of the game in civvies thinking about how much the oppressive alien government sucks. Then when I see a guy with a gravity manipulator next to a pile of Combine bodies, I'd pick up a rifle and join the resistance. Whether I'd actually survive or even be able to shoot anything is questionable, but I feel like I could at least raise hell with a team of guerrillas.

I specifically see myself coming in to help pull down that damn Breencast screen :p

One of the clueless NPCs who offers pointless advice, probably.

I'm not a fighter kinda guy. Unless there's magic that exists, and I have some. THEN, maybe I stand a chance. But otherwise? I'm just gonna sit here on the sidelines and hope I don't die. :p

I would be the guy who gets eaten by something while crying and wetting his pants.

Squall Leonhart. A snarky, condescending, mildly narcisistic, brooding, existential mess of a man seriously in need of love who somehow makes really strong leadership material.

Fuck being the hero. If I were in a video game, I'd be the keeper of an inn in some RPG land somewhere. Especially one where mana can only be restored either through resting at the inn or an even more expensive item. I'd be set for life!

I'd be the guy who jumps ship and immideatly joings the evil team as soon as things get inconvienient...

Then I'd probably end up as some scrawny henchman that the protagonist kills... xP

I would be your trusty blacksmith. Making sure you have your arrows and your swords and your ammo. For a very reasonable price of course.
