I'm astonished no-one has said "Raiden" yet.  So: Raiden.

Although since we're talking MGS 2, Otacon wins extra bonus points for incest.

Tomy or Tomi or Tommy ... short thievish henchman from Neverwinter Nights. That little jagoff just won't shut the hail up! Every damn door and chest you try to open he's all "MINE!" and i'm all "STFU!"

Hey, I like Tomi - "hokee dokee!"

His enthusiasm can be hilarious if you play evil - I remember killing this crusty old farmer, who was the father of the whelp who couldn't get his ring back from the tart across the way, and Tomi then ran around and killed every single chicken the guy had been tending to, screaming "here comes halfling death."

Also, kill a single civilian in town, and Tomi will make sure nobody gets out alive.

I've also noticed the panther minion continuing to attack chests after they've been opened, but found it more humorous than annoying.

I really dislike the main charecter in KOTOR. The one you play. Why ?
Because you are alomst a bi-player as Bastilla and Carth rescue the universe, you are just the sidekick that has to do the running and the dirty work. I mean, when was the last time that the Jedi Council accually called you by name, or just taked directly to YOU  ?

The announcers in UTxxx are also terrible. They yell about winning and loosing and I can hardly hear the shooting in between their shouting.

I also wish that Alice in American McGee's Alice was older so that she would be hot   I have a crush on insane girls

What?!
You are not the sidekick they are...
You can order them to stay on the ship for practically the whole game.
In kotor i must admit juheni is pretty stupid she just keeps saying "I will be your doom" whenever you get into combat with her.  The sidekicks in kotor2 are alot better though.

What happen to your other "venture"? Not lucrative enough or are you just branching out?

Speaking of annoying characters, right now I'm playing Max Payne and I must say that his head is really annoying. It keeps getting in the way. Someone will be shooting me but I can't see him (and, thus, don't know where he is which leads to premature death) because Max's head is in the way. I think I'd rather be seeing through Max's eyes.

Yes I know, but has the Jedi Council ever mentioned your name ?
Everybody keeps talking about how important Carth and Bastilla are, you ? you are almost expendable..  
At least the fixed this in Jedi Academy. You could not change the charectars name, but at least YOU were mentioned now and then

I'd have to agree that Cortana is the biggest annoying character I've ever run into.

To quote myself from back in the day on these forums:

Hrmm...dating heinous but naked AIs that boss people around and take care of all your needs, it's a nerds dream...

You know, they did start saying your name after...you know.

[Dr. Geebs]

It's quite funny to set your character up with THAT name from the beginning, then watch as everyone expresses amazement when they've been calling you that all along

Argh! It just happened again. This time Max's whole body was in the way and I didn't see the grenade coming strait at me. Well, I guess I'm a little off target here. It is not Max's character that's annoying; it is the way the developer decided to draw the screen. Still, I'd like to take that baseball bat and whack Max until his out of the way. Maybe knocking his head off would help.

[the Battle Cat]

I didn't find Cortana annoying at all.  Just the opposite, she was helpful, explained things, progressed the story, she moved the game along, and sometimes even gave you warnings.  It would be nice if she would help out during the fighting, and that lack of ability if anything gives one the impression she is a load.

I think she has a total lack of humor. Besides, I find her warnings mostly coming too late
and remember when the Monitor snatch the Masterchief, when she´s complaing for being
"forgotten" in the in the HALO control room? Well I can´t say I´d miss her during her time off.
She just doesn´t get it that not everything is about her and that things seldomy run the smooth way.
I think she´s like...always wanting to help, always missing the point,
which I agree here, that all her missed targets drive the story.

I know what that smiley means Tomatocow!
I also dislike Yomansh... Yomanis... Yoshimo. From Baldar's Gate II. Because hes a traitor.

Yeah but you get his heart in the end, so it's all good. Also the cheat where you set like 50 traps in front of a dragon before initiating combat and then killing them in 2 seconds... Yoshimo comes in handy for those too.

[Belcarius]

I dislike Yoshimo because he's the only proper thief in the game and the bastard betrays you!!! God damn him! And then I have to crawl through the next acts triggering every single trap and being stopped by every locked door  

But him aside, I have a long list of characters I depise:
Also from Baulder's Gate: Minsc - He is so annoying! I just get so sick of his retarted speech and delusional ramblings about Boo. And he just has to be one of the guys in both games.

Harry Potter and the Philospher's Stone - I dislike the dodgy accents on all the characters, but Harry is the most annoying because he never tries to defend himself against Malfoy's taunts. What a wimp.

Starcraft Brood War- I hate everyone who was introduced in this expansion pack. Yes all of them. From the communist Stukov to the twerp Artanis, they are all high on the cringe scale.

NWN - Maugrim. I hate him because I get so built up for a confrontation with him AND THEN HE SUCKS!!! Seriously there was not one second in that fight where I was really in any danger. Even when he cast timestop he was too stupid to use it wisely. And He doesn't appear along the way to taunt you like a good villain should.

Civ 3 - Slightly outside the range of the topic, but what was the development team on when they wrote the dialogue for the rulers? As the review of the game said, why would Ghandi ever say 'My Bad!' And why does Modern Age Joan of Arc have to look so fugly? (GI Jane...)

[Bernie]

I think that at some point or another just about everybody in Baldur's Gate annoyed me. What about the intentionally annoying ones, Neeber & Noober was it? Did you like 'em or smash 'em?
