I am playing though KOTOR for the first time and keep finding posts and blogs that spoil it :ohwell:

Banjo Kazooie
Fox Mcloud
Donkey Kong
Conker
Mario/Luigi

I started writing a list & then I realized it was basically just the cast of Smash Bros. So yeah, I love all the flagship Nintendo characters. :tlol:

Toss in Pyro/Demoman from TF2, & Crash Bandicoot for good measure.

I understand you well enough. I had to think a bit as well.

Nintendo characters are an interesting thing. Many of them might not have the deepest personalities but they have simple designs and personality traits that make them memorable enough for the players. Also, I can't deny that me liking Link and Mario has a lot to do with me loving the game series they're part of.

Nintendo characters are proof of the "simplicity is the key to success" theory.

I also could have listed more fighting game characters, but some characters I like personality wise I either don't like their movesets or can't play them very well. Like Yoshimitsu from Tekken or Reptile from Mortal Kombat, per example. Hence why i didn't list them.

I've also debated whether to put Fox or Falco in my list, but ended up listing Fox because you can't play as Falco in the Star Fox games. And even if both are playable in Smash Bros. games, Falco is basically a Fox clone, so...

Oh...Sorry :/

But hey, yeah, Max was awesome in Life is Strange. The whole game I loved, actually.
