A sim, it would be nice having someone else make all the choices in your life, unless they are like me and trap the sim so they starve.

The Dahaka from Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

A Time-God made of Living Black Sand, nigh invulnerable, and tasked with the sole purposed of unrelentingly chasing down bitches who mess with Time. "It has to be 85 Miles Per Hour!" "GOOWARRRRR. NOM, NOM, NOM!" "Great Sco--UAAAAAAAGGGHHH"

Am I the only one who thought that particular boss character was just made of awesome?

Would you really want to be that too? It would get quite boring after a while, I think. Real life isn't about stats or how much HP you've got.

That, and, you know... the whole, "Wicked witch of the west syndrom".

Cadian Karskin awesome yet not fucked up like a space marine.

Don't want to sound like gramar police/nazi's here especially since this is a common typo, but I never realized it was "Kasrkin" until I played Winter Assault and they said "Kasrkin Squad at the Ready" - so just an FYI that it's spelled "Kasrkin".

Also, Kasrkin was my "3rd" choice in my "list of 40k characters" because of course being an inquisitor or a grey knight or something would be so overpowering and awesome (other than like, a chaos lord that is) that it would be almost too good to be true, but I also don't want that kind of responsibility, so my choice was one of the Temple Assassin's for the imperial guard, like the kasrkin, they are also virtually unstopable and could probably take on someone in the inquisition, but still aren't so genetically beefed up to the point of ridiculousness (despite how awesome it is) - although, I'd also like to be a Kasrkin because they have awesome guns and are also virtually unstoppable (in big groups).

Well, I think using Metamaterials would be a lot easier and more effective, but whatever. Plus, thats never gonna let you pretend to be a corpse. Plus, remember, only Laughing Octopus could do that, but she did it very well. I was looking for her for 10 minutes before I realised that the large table beside the scanner wasn't there before. Hey, the cables looked authentic.

Oh, good point! I guess I was just thinking about how awesome it would be to have your own Octocamo suit, which made me forget about the fact that L. Octopus could disguise as {anything} - and man did she have some good hiding spots.

I wouldn't mind being a few characters when I first think about it, but several have their cons

Link, from ANY Zelda game. Sure you get all the gear, roam around hyrule, collect stuff, save the world whilst wearing a sometimes fashionable tunic, but at the end of the day you're just Hyrule's bitch, can't talk and consume nothing but liquids and chu jelly.

Gordon Freeman from Half Life fame. Well, duh eeeeveryone want's to be good ol Dr. Freeman, but is the crowbar and the awesome gravity gun a relatively fair trade off for also not being able to talk, getting attacked by headcrabs every third step, AND being utterly lost and confused by G-Man?

The Prince, from Prince of Persia sands of time games. He started out fairly innocent, gets gritty, and in the end conquers his inner demons, but for what? Half the stuff he did technically never happened anyway, and I for one are not as noble and goody goody as he is deep down.

3venth:
I know this is going to sound a lot like a fanboy there but Cloud from FF7. He weilds a gigantic sword and unlike most characters he has lots of games so he has done a lot.

Dante doesnt do it for you?

yeah but ive never played the Devil May Cry games.

I'd probably have to say a Pokemon Trainer. I mean, come on. Who wouldn't want an endless army of creatures that control the elements at will doing their bidding?

Psycho Mantis (or, as she later likes to be known, Screaming Mantis), so I could screw with the players head.

The main character from Condemned 2, because I'd like to drink a lot and win bum fights.

Lara Croft.

I'd quit that Tomb Raiding shenanigans and stay home and play with my boobs all day.

Garrett from the Thief series. Because my voice would moisturise panties wherever it is heard.

I would be Frank West who doesn't want to live in a world of Zombies!!

i wud want to b a druid from WoW

seriously i cud shapeshift...........INTO A BEAR!!!!

cuz real men fight as bears

Tuff question o.O Now that I think of it, there are really only a handful of characters I actually related to while playing a game! Could name more movie characters though.

Well, i'll have to go with... Lara ^^! Probably because the movies added a little bit more to the background story and the character. Or it's just the fun of jumping off cliffs and discovering ruins and bla :) It's definitely not her boobs as some guy above me stated :P

GOD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

apmpnmdslkbk:
GOD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You played too much Sim City Games

I would like to be Sam Fisher, sneaky little bastard

Gordon Freeman from the Half Life games... He's respected by all, and is just plain badass.

Or my version of Frank West on Dead Rising, he's looking awesome in a pinstripe suit, orange converse and aviators.

Hmmm... the character I would want to be most in a video game also happens to be a cartoon character, well in light of the fact that Thor has never been in a video game, I would probably want to be Danny Fenton, he's smart, has cool powers, has reliable friends and family surrounding him (admittedly almost none of them started that way)and a girlfriend, plus he has solved most of his enemy problems(the few that remain aren't really a concern the last time his toughest enemy confronted him he kicked the dudes hand off as an opening move), given the chance I would totally be Thor though (Thor wins that's why they don't put him in games, he would kill Superman in one hit, magic weapon, so I would totally want to be Thor)

Random argument man:

GOD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I hate the Sim City Games and refuse to play them but if I could be god and control everything in the universe I would.

Oh and Sam Fisher is a great choice he could kill solid snake any day of the week.

;) I'd never lie to you guys on the escapist ^^! It'd just get me banned :P

my Redguard from Oblivion, so i could run forever (and at about 50mph, thank you Steed), lift 990 measures of weight (not including my 700,000 gold in my POCKET), throw lightning, and never actually get cut regardless of how many blade-wielding foes i fight.

Going off the board and saying Kaede from Onimusha: Warlords. I'd love to be able to backflip over a guy and slit his throat. Hanging with Samanosuke would just be a bonus. :D

Ryu Hayabusa because he is quick, deadly and magical. I would use the Falcons Talons almost exclusively if I were him.

I'd want to be Maat from Final Fantasy XI.

He's the guy you have to do the most annoying tasks to increase your level cap from level 50 to 55, 55 to 60, 60 to 65, 65 to 70, and 70 to 75.

The first time around, you have to collect ancient papyrus, a bomb core, and exoray mold from some of the harder monsters in the game, each with a drop rate of like 1%, oftentimes taking almost forever to do.

The second time you have to kill three monsters and get an item from behind them. These guys aren't hard, but it's still annoying to have to do.

The third time you have to go around collecting seals from the absolute depths of three Beastmens' major living areas, always having to open hard-to-open doors and having to pass through monsters that can see you and will attack you on sight even with Sneak and Invisible on.

The fourth time you have to go around talking to various NPCs throughout the game, trivially taking up time.

The fifth and final time, you actually have to fight him. As some jobs, he's easy. As other jobs he's nearly impossible. As a few jobs actually, it's a real gamble. The guy's like 80 years old, he always uses his fists to fight, and he can punch your nose through your skull in five seconds if you let him. Best of all, he never dies. He 'gives up' at 15% health, so he can never die. You would always win. If you beat the adventurer, you get to say "I'm an 80-year-old man and I just beat up a 20-some-year-old adventurer," and if you lose, you can still say "I did a damn good job for an 80-year-old man. Damn whippernsappers."

screw you all.......caboose

dudesrug:
screw you all.......caboose

Caboose isn't a video game character, lol.

dammit... well it's kinda a video game and it'd be a lot easier than all the killing, sneaking and being god the rest of you are doing

dudesrug:

I'd be a guy who sends people on mandatory, trivial tasks.

Naked Snake. Not only is he all that is man, he's about the only character that can sport a mullet and still be brilliant.

quebert.
Seriously, Elaine marley or the voodoo lady from the monkey island series

Soma Cruz from Castlevania that would rock having a death scythe, rocket launcher, and being able to steal people's souls for power.

a Lekgolo from Halo. wait.. maybe not, coz it would be hard to wipe your ass with a shield for one hand and a fuelrod cannon for the other XD

You are aware that those don't have an ass right? They are actually a chain of smaller creatures which combine Voltron-style into one of those.

yes i realize, but i was making a joke. i'm well-aware they are a walking perma-clusterfuck of worms in an orange casing.

but fine then, i would be AJ Johnson because i can't die, and i would spit beautiful one-liners all day.
