Most Common RPG Character Archetypes We Love 🌜🃏

From the hero to the sage, most RPG characters fall into💖 at least ﷽one of these categories.

But you know how it is. This is the world of video games. People are going to criticize, and almost every RPG, usually containing a merry band of party members, has a few black൲ sheep that fans aren't part🅰icularly warm to. But are these views fair? Maybe some of them actually deserve a second look.

10 ꦓ Wyll Ravengard

Baldur's Gate 3

The companions in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Baldur's Gate 3 quickly gained legions of enthusiasticꩵ fans even well before release thanks to the game's long and prosperous early access period. But, for some reason, swashbuckling cutie pie Wyll Ravengard finds himself on the lower end of things far too often.

A common complaint is that he's boring, which, frankly doesn't make much sense. He's a romantic and tragic hero who made a 💧de𒆙al with a demon to save the people he loves, only to be rejected for his sacrifice. Plus, he gets flustered and has horns. Whole package.

9 🌼 👍 Karol Capel

Tales Of Vesperia

The Tales of series of RPGs enjoys a reputation for worlds-spanning adventures, epic tales, and consistently engaging characters, and few entries embody those qualities 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:better than Tales of Vesperia. The thing is, with ♕so many beloved characters, that means💫 the standards are higher.

While the Tales series has lots of popular characters, these guys a⛎re in need of some ♊love too.

As such, newbie guild leader Karol was at a disadvantage from the beginning. Let'♌s face it, kids have a reputation for being annoying as characters, and Karol's rather timid first impression didn't do him many favors. But his story from scared boy to 𒐪guild head is compelling, as are his cool alternate outfits.

8 Ashley Williams ♛

Mass Effect

Some unflattering reputations come with good reasoning behind them. In the case of Ashley Williams from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect, her rather overt prejudice against aliens nearly from the start soured many players, particularly since the brash Gunnery Chief can die in the first game, making ge🍒tting to know her a tad difficult.

Sure, those with bigoted views aren't automatically owed a second chance. But if you talk to Ashley throughout the series, you'll see a ton of depth from her love of poetry to a frankly hilarious scene after a night of drinking in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect 3.

7 Ken Amada

Persona 3

Once again, the kids get the short end of the stick. Problematic romance path in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3 Portable aside, Ken Amada is still the kind of character in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3 that many players will simply drift away from due to his age, even in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3 Reload.

This isn't going to be easy...

But you should give these games more credit. He's got arguably one of the most tragic stories in the game, which is saying something in a Persona title. Plusꦉ, anyone who wields a weapon bigger than they are automaticall🌞y deserves a high five.

6 𒆙 C💯arth Onasi

Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

There may very well be a connection between people who hate Carth and people who hate Skyler in Breaking Bad. That's not to say their opinions are invalid, it's just that the criticis🐎ms seem oddly similar. This is admittedly not the ideal crossover between Breaking Bad and Star Wars.

Carth is your first party member in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars: Knighꦅts of the Old Republic, but more importantly, he acts as your𝓀 moral compass if you choose the light side path. Unfortunately, that can come across as preachy to some. But if you take the time to talk to him and understand his story, maybe you'll sympathize with his stalwa꧒rt anti-meanie ways.

5 Sharla

Xenoblade Chronicles

It's no secret that the first 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xenoblade Chronicles game contains probably the least com🅷plex characters in the main trilogy. So Sharla, who quite frankly gets shafted when it comes to character development, can feel particularly lackluster especially compared to later entries.

Stand tall. Shake the heavens. Mehmeh.

Her story focuses a little too heavily on the loss of her fiance Gadolt, kind of robbing Sharla of some agency. So it's understandable that some would be put off. But she's ab🐼solutely worth having in your party for her banter with Reyn and the beautiful irony of a giant gun that can heal people.

4 ✨Jacob Taylor

Mass Effect 2

If you become a meme, it's basically over for you as a serious character. Jacob Taylor, despite being a loyal and reliable party member in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Mass Effect 2, immediately ruined everything with hi♏🐼s delivery of "heavy risk, but the priiiiiize" during a romance scene, and you know what? Fair.

But really, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black characters in video games already have a hard time dealing with prejudice just for existing. So many f𓆉ans hated Jacob from the getgo, and when he turned out to not only be largely unremarkable compare🐟d to others but also memeable? Deathblow. Give him a chance for his fascinating loyalty mission and just because he would absolutely be your friend in real life.

3 P𝄹reston Garvey ꦬ

Fallout 4

Jacob got his own meme in the Mass Effect fandom, but poor Preston Garvey permeated all of gaming with his pleas for you to help the settlements of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Fallout 4. Every time you came back to talk to him, he had news of another procedurally ge🎐nerated quest. Reddit was never the same afterward.

Fallout has plenty of characters, some funny, someꦰ scary and sꩵome that are gorgeously written.

Yep, another Black character unfortunately shuffled to the back of the lineup for petty reasons. The constant stream of minor quests is kind of funny, but the meme overshadows Preston's numerous positive qualities. Aside from being a particularly 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:attentive Fallout 4 romance option, he's just so darn pure and wholesome to hav🐲e around.

2 🔥 Oerba Dia Vanille💜

Final Fantasy 13

First impressions can do a lot of damage, and when the character specifically chooses to be energetic and almost gratingly chipper to cover for a lifetime of trauma, so many won't be willing to explore past that. Thus is the tragedy of Oerba Dia Vanille, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 13's manic pixie cult girl.

Vanille slowly reveals her story throughout the game, initially𒈔 coming across all bubbly and carefree. But if you stick around and let the game tell its tale, you'll likely be hooked by the time she stoically stands in front of Sazh saying "shoot me." Her childhood friend, Fang, is also the coolest person ever, so Vanille deserves more respect just by association too.

1 Sera

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Gamers constantly ask for more realistic characters in their games. Then someone like Sera comes along and proves those wishes were not properly thought through. Sera is the chaotic, loud, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:almost Robin Hood-esque lesbian in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition who shatters 𓄧expectations like she shatte🦩rs random nobles' noses.

Sera is focused on he❀lping the little people more than anything else, which should put he🍬r on everyone's nice list. But she also vocally dislikes elves who are a bit too "elfy" about it for her tastes. Those views can get unreasonable at times, but overall, Sera's levity is downright essential, and she's the type of person everyone needs in their lives to ensure they never get too insufferably serious.
