Worst "side character" in gaming?

Not the worst, but an honorable mention goes to Prince Rurik in Guild Wars.
The sword he wields is widely seen as a newbie weapon because of his AI behaviour.

There was this game called Devastation, which I had the displeasure to play... the player is basically a white hip-hopper who looks exactly like Eminem, and he has an equally white crew of hip-hopper rebel pals who fight against an "oppressive government" or some such not-at-all-clichéd story... some time into the game, you acquire the technology to lug around weird platforms with a suspiciously contrived ability to respawn the "heroes" when they die.
And believe me, you need those things, because the AI is so appallingly terrible that once I got to some mission towards the end where we had to capture a warehouse before our magical respawn pads could be used in that area or something, I kept having to reload over and over because at least one of the by then 10-or-so-strong team of terminally white adolescent hip-hop rebels always managed to run into a rocket, hail of bullets, or similar before I could get anywhere near the warehouse. They were basically running off in all directions, apparently trying to die as quickly as possible. I actually gave up on it, after about the hundredth time and a couple of level restarts. Thus, they all win my vote for this... and the game wins the "suckiest FPS I ever played" prize, or at least a nomination.

A more controversial one. The Little Sister at the end of Bioshock - Just walk on by woman, please! During my first play through I was sure letting one of them die to the splicers would lose me an achievment so I was especially gutted for her to die to the last Big Daddy >.< Later on I find that there was no achievment/consequence for letting Little Sisters die....Wheres my Human Shield! Despite this momentary lapse in protection I still got the good ending - so I won't be too harsh about them.
Any character which I know will subsequently betray me (even if its just on *instinct* rather than actual knowledge)but the game forces you to help them.

Those from Rainbow Six Vegas, I mean, one shot of a syringe and they'd be all right but if you get shot you're dead instantly?
Sheva from RE5 but that's only in single player. In multiplayer she's actually very very useful. In single player, she will take all the ammo and won't do what you tell her to do. There was one boss that would have been so much easier to beat if I had a good partner.
I hated the damn frog. On the mission were you fight the gaint robot torso, I would kill him as he was flying at it just to aviod the follow up mission of saving his sorry ass from a gaint scorpion-thing.SageOfCalm said:
