Aerith from Final Fantasy VII?
For all the crap the game gets, Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk was actually an incredibly written companion character. Plus bonus points because of Keanu Reeves.
Kainé from NieR Gestalt/Replicant?
KOSMOS from XenoSaga?
Geno from Super Mario RPG?
Karlach from BG3?
Heck, even Serana from Skyrim could be there.
Many characters I would consider at the very least to be contenders for top spot, if not outright surpassing Morrigan.
Shit. Pick a character from Chrono Trigger. Citan from XenoGears. Teepo from Breath of Fire 3. I mean, I could go on and on… There are so many classic companions in games. I can’t pick one, and I’m not sure I trust anyone who can, especially when there is bioware money being thrown around.
Morrigan disliked that
Imagine talking about great RPG companions and not mentioning Knights of the Old Republic
Morrigan is not the greatest video game companion, then.
Press X to doubt
Pretty sure she was just hot dude
Origins was such a boring game. Hackneyed, utterly predictible plot, graphics that looked like the previous generation. There wasn’t really much there to like, and then the next games were worse.
Not sure how we even got as far as Veilguard…
I gotta agree, I tried 4 or 5 times and just never got into it. Doesn’t help that I’m not great at party RPGs, but yeah the story was slow and I remember being unimpressed with the dialogue options… It always felt like you were kinda pushed towards and inevitable outcome rather than really influencing things.
I might be biased as Origins was my first cRPG other than KotOR, but I still love playing through it. Just a real solid high fantasy story thats a touch grittier than you’d expect.
