Basically, who do you think is the the most detailed, deep and complex character in a video game? List your reasons and why/if you enjoy this character's qualities.

I'm going to probably get some flak for this, but if you have ever read Scorchy's LP of KOTOR II you might regonize the quote, and the truth behind it.

"First, she?s a liar. She lies, and lies, and lies. She lies so well that my fifth time through the game, I?m reading a standard bit of her dialogue and I?m realize, ?Hey? that?s not quite true.? Because you get so much of the plot and exposition from talking to her, she does the rare thing and fools the NPCs, fools the Exile, and fools the player after the game is over. Everything you know has to pass the litmus test of, ?But did I hear that from Kreia??

Second, that?s not her real name. Or rather, she has three names: her past, present, and future name. Her past (real name) never gets explicitly revealed during the game, and in fact most people who play the game never know it."

- Scorchy

She gives so much insight into Revan's "fall" and actually introduces Chaos Theory, among other things, into Star Wars. Also, she doesn't fall into either the Light/Jedi and Dark/Sith categories, and does everything for the reason of strengthing the Exile.


.....That being said, HK-47 was a lot deeper and had so many great lines throughout the game.

Flemeth in Dragon Age: Origins. She appears to be a nutty old bat, but, given an interaction or two, you can begin to think she's that much and more. Also, there's story after story of her.

April Ryan from The Longest Journey, easy. About the only character in gaming which genuinely reacted like a real person would, and her evolution throughout the storyline is incredibly engrossing as a result.
