Republic Commando squad. Man those guys were so helpful.

Ever been a game since then in which your squad could revive YOU? (or ignore you and keep fighting if you tell them to)

They were awesome.

Also Tomi Undergallows and Daelan Red Tiger. Henchmen from the first Neverwinter Nights. Tomi was the most useful little lock picking halfling EVER. Daelan was just too badass for words.

Max the rabbit is indispensible.

I also like Garrus Valkarian from Mass Effect. He may not be as tough as Wrex but also doesn't take any crap. I use both of them to wreck shop.

What madness causes you to reference this game and not mention Deekin? Adorable little kobold, he was. Grimgnaw was absolutely badass as well, enough so to be referenced as a villain in a follow-up expansion. And speaking of adorableness: Nordom from Planescape: Torment. He is a clicking box with a plastercine face, and I want a modron of my own to ruin and run chaotic because the result is so huggably, confusedly cute. But mentioning Torment just ends the thread, because every supplemental character is so well-defined and awesome (with the possible exception of Fall-From-Grace).

Honorable mention goes to Agro. Such a brave, loyal fictional animal...

Sulik from Fallout 2:
Only ally I picked up on every play through.

And don't forget Grampy Bone! :D

Dog Meat from 1 was sweet too, and also the sentient Deathclaw and Marcus

Yeah I think the Deathclaw's name was Goris? Him and Marcus were cool as well, I just thought I should narrow it down.

Keeping Dogmeat alive in the later stages was a game in itself. Damn those mutants.

Kai was awesome. Except for her ending speech, which was so out of character. But you know a sidekick's awesome when there's stretches you just don't care about the protagonist any more and are just hoping to see Kai be more awesome.

Heh, it's funny. I have the exact opposite feelings for the little freak. For me, every time she's on screen was an exercise in patience and endurance, but then again, I'm not a fan of fps. (and I don't think i've ever thrown my controller as much as that stupid escort quest with her and Shen)

For me, it has to go to the ever loving Minsc from the Baldur's Gate series. Followed closely by Deekin.

HK-47! I love his lines. He is the perfect sidekick.

She's not really a side kick since she is part of your party after you battle in Hoax, but I have to say Rose from Legend of the Dragoon. She does leave your party, but she is one of Seven playable characters. Plus most of her moves deal massive amounts of damage with a wide blast radius.

Rubber shoes in motion...

Not a sidekick, but those Tesla Troopers are so cute...

Tanya is Kick Ass, and I can't wait to see her in action in Red Alert 3...

Solo Wing Pixy is a great sidekick, as long as you don't mind having to shoot down your buddy to end a war... Better than that annoying bastard PJ...

Pixy irritated me when he turned traitor. I actually enjoyed my fight against him. He was a challange for me since, despite the time it takes to get to the end, it was an open air combat, and I excel at fighting in cities where I can use the buildings to shake off boggies and get behind other aircrafts.

The only reason I had trouble with him at the end the first time I played was because I took an Su-27 (Pure Ground Attack fighter) the first time I fought him. After that first time, he was easy, because I had my trusty F-15 ACTIVE and took him down so fast he barely registered me on his threat scopes... I love that plane!

Ironically, I was flying the F-15 when I first fought Pixy.

Since then, I've beaten him in a F-14, a F-22, a X-02, an ADFX-01 Morgan and an ADF-01 Falken

I would have to give my vote to the dog from MDK... My first choice would have been Minsc from BG2 but he's already been nominated...

1)The Companion cube: He'll never judge you and it's a shame you have to kill him after only 15 minutes with him

2) Tali and Wrex: Ones an outcast who knows tech stuff,hates the Geth for nearly wiping out her race, and can fire a shotgun and theother is a hardened merc who's race is slowly dieing from a chemical weapon,has a life span of 1000 years, and has a voice that make him and even bigger badass. Shame on my first play through I could'nt save him, but on the many ones after that I could by either talking to him gently or threatening him with reason. I got bored on my Fifth playthrouh however and killed his retillian ass myself.

3)The entire Half-Life 2 cast (they rally bring the story to lie (however gay it might be)

4) The Security bots and Big Daddies: They make the underwater utopia feel safer( especially when I pit a bouncer big daddy with a rosy big daddy).

5)Sergaent Johnson: He's that badass black guy from Predator (thank you Yahtzee)

6)Captain Price: He's basically an Acurate depiction of the cut purse's who were sent to Autralia for killin and rapeing on the streets of London.

7)That annoying voice from Crackdown(Riot Act in Japan)(you know what I mean): He may be annoyng buthis timing on saying things makes it hilarious when he does talk, I would also kill his ass if I found where he was broadcasting from.

8) That voice that tell me stuff in Sins Of A solar Empire: He tells you stuff

9) Those Creatures you can Conjure up in Oblivion: I just expalained why!

10) Everyone that I've raided a ware house with in City Of Heroes (Fuck World of Warcraft, its difficult, repetitive, and gay!

Thinking about it they should make a game where you play the sidekick to some bigwig egoistic hero....

Favourite sidekick would be either D.O.G from Half Life or Garrus and Wrex in Mass Effect due to the conversations they have in the lifts

Whichever character you didn't play when doing the Single player mode to Gears of War. At least most of the time he'd actually kill what he was shooting at!

I forgot about Creature from Black and White.The only game in which your sidekick was actually useful(although it took ages to train him.)
