(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. |

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... |

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. |

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. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1190 Joined: 5 May 2008 | 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. |

Ho. Lee. Crap. I TOTALLY forgot about Tanya after Red Alert! Good call! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3824 Joined: 26 Feb 2008 | 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... |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1190 Joined: 5 May 2008 | 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. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3824 Joined: 26 Feb 2008 | 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! |
Press Junketeer Posts: 397 Joined: 24 Nov 2007 | 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 |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 53 Joined: 26 Mar 2008 | 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... |

Beat Writer  Posts: 173 Joined: 5 May 2008 | 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 |
