I like a game where you by the end of the game, really have gotten to know the characters in a game. Movies for example are too short to really get to know a person if you ask me.

So my question is! Which main character or character in general has the most voice acting and character development ever in a game?

hmm...I kind of want to say Martin Septim from Oblivion. They got Sean Bean to voice him, and he had a lot of lines.

There was also a boatload of great voiceacting in Mass Effect.

Ya those were good but I wanted to slap Zoe around by the end cuz she whined so much.

Clearly Solid Snake like everyone says...

But some other good choices could be Niko Bellic from GTA 4 and Commander Shepard from Mass Effect. Only recently have we started to see mainstream main character voice acting. Sure we see other characters voice acting, but not the main one. Hell for the first few generations starting with the NES, the main character didn't even have dialogue. If you think about it, we've made great strides.

The Nameless One in Planescape: Torment

EDIT: Doesn't really have much voice acting but even more written dialog.

I'd have to go with Solid Snake. I love listening to the comm-link conversational exchanges and getting to know his tastes, likes and dislikes, and his sense of humor. I'm also enthralled by his profound knowledge in all things combat/weapons related.

HOLY SHYET!! SEAN BEAN!!! I didn't know that and Oblivion is the main game I play. I loved Sean Bean in LOTR, Patriot Games and most importantly, Goldeneye. I already like the character Martin Septim even though I'm pretty early in the game.But now I like him more. I just can't believe both Professor X and Agent 006 are in the same game.
