Personally, it’s Faith from Farcry 5 for me. Uninteresting dialog that can be summed up to “I was bullied once” and that’s it. Literally every other character is so much more interesting. Jacob gives you a sequence where you run through a gulag which he then uses against you, John tries to kill you and is openly hateful towards you plus is a character you get to interact with, and Joseph is a lunatic who was right.
For me it’s Jessica Chobot replacing the journalist in Mass Effect 2.
Handler. Everyone’s shovelling coal into the furnace to keep from freezing to death, she’s making roasted yams, and then eats them in front of everyone who is collapsed from exhaustion.
Everytime I kill the monster, she’s like, “Yay! We did it!”
Do you go to the cloud district often? Oh what am I talking about, of course you don’t!
I’ll have you know there’s no …
Mr clippy. Word was so much more fun without him, word isn’t very fun, without Mr clippy it might’ve been goty
What?? Faith might be the only interesting character in the whole FC series. I don’t think you understand the character’s backstory at all, TBH. The original Faith was the Seeds’ sister who died young, so the brothers kidnap young women in the cult, drug them (I forget what the name of the drug is in the game), and convince them that they’re Faith Seed. Eventually that woman dies so they replace her with another. It’s horribly tragic and, in my opinion, is leagues above the standard character writing of the Far Cry games
Yeah, I was puzzled when OP listed Faith as most annoying; I don’t think they paid attention to the story.
I found her more interesting than many other Far Cry antagonists, let alone other video games characters.
Navi from one of the Zelda games. “Hey!”
The Owl from OOT as well
Oh man, “did you want to hear this again?” Every single fucking time I would be mashing a to get through his dialog and press yes by accident. Every time…
Ahaha! Yes. So annoying!
I seem to recall navi being mostly skippable. But the owl having to say everything. But you would still button mash to try and skip, then end up having to see it all again
That’s a tricky one, but if I had to pick, maybe Ashley from Mass Effect. She’s very insubordinate and disrespectful towards you, I hate her speciesism and (fittingly enough) she’s a Bible thumping Christian, whenever she opens her mouth I wish I could eject her through the airlock. It doesn’t help that you can’t deny her joining the team or even kick her out, safe to say that whenever I get to Virmire I always kill her without even thinking twice.
I’m replaying the Arkham series and I’d forgotten that Ashley’s VA plays Oracle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting annoyed every time she called Batman until I made that connection.

It’s a pretty standard Turkish name, fyi
Natalya in Goldeneye.
My friends and I called all annoying companion/escort characters “Buttfuck”. Natalia was the buttfuckiest Buttfuck.
There’s just so many characters whose entire presence makes me go “please shut the fuck up” that it’s hard to pick just one. Like yeah pretty much anybody would sell Preston Garvey to Satan for half a donut, but there are just so many other annoying characters…
Old man checking in here. Yuffie from ff7 was the most aggravating character ever
Because of what you have to do to get her to join your party?
I was on Team Yuffie until
ffvii spoiler
she stole my fucking materia
Never played the original, but she is so annoying in the remake and her motivation to gather materia is razer thin.
Fucking Claptrap…
Naaaaw, I love him! He’s just a misunderstood ADHD robot without friends. Cut him some slack!
Did you play his sidequest with getting people to come to his birthday party in Borderlands 2?
I actually named my home server claptrap. My desktop is chappie (from the movie of the same name, with another anthro robot).
Wdym “another”? Claptrap isn’t an anthro robot lol. He’s a trash can with feet for hands (and I love him)
I did, I played all the borderlands until the third (which I just couldn’t put up with) multiple times and he just annoyed the piss out of me constantly xD
I agree, but I do think that is kind of the point with him.
I do not get every other character’s willingness to overlook it and treat him like just another quirky member of the gang. I mean, Tanisha has no social skills but she’s at least clever and has some clear utility to the Raiders.
I realise that is the point, doesn’t make it any less annoying though!

Tatsu from Xenoblade Chronicles X is a really annoying little dude. I watched my buddy play through and every time he said anything he’d tell the tv “shut up Tatsu.” It’s arguably more aggravating because the game seems aware of his annoyance since one of the main characters is constantly suggesting she cook him into a dish to eat. I’d say that would be the best outcome.

You stay away from my tatsu!
Hey listen!
Link! Link! LINK! LISTEN!
Watch out!
Bloody Paimon. (Genshin Impact)
And this is coming from someone who still logs on frequently. All I want is to mute her.
Paimon was a main reason I stopped playing.
Paimon has that obnoxious Elmo complex. Sing-songy PLUS can’t speak in the first person.
there’s a character from Trials of Mana who talks like that & drives me wild. some people switch to the japanese voice cuz of how bad the VA is
Yeah I tried this with Genshin but she’s still as grating ¯_(ツ)_/¯
