Whose your favorite PC Villian or Hero......

Villains

-Kane, from C&C series
-Any of the Soviet leaders in the Red Alert series, they were all so charismatic that you could help but chuckle when Stalin said "when you kill one, its a tragedy...when you kill a million, its a statistic."
-HK-47 from Knights of the Old Republic...you are so used to cute Star Wars robots that when you finally meet a homocidal one you're like "Hahaha, that is soooooooo badass...suckit meatbags."

Heroes

-Gordon Freeman, the strong silent type.  He is just your average physics nerd who discovers his inner badass.  And in the second game you find out that you have this huge following and that you reached legendary or even mythical status.
-Sam Fisher, he is a modern day ninja, fighting the good fight free of the red tape governments often put on most delicate issues.  His dark humor and one liners are totally awesome, and the actor who voices him just has an awesome, gravelly, hearty voice.
-Duke Nukem, the guy is a walking xenocidal maniac, spitting oneliners along the way.  'Nuff said.

Neutrals

-Agent 47, sure you could debate this but the fact is that he is an assassin and while his main target is often a bad guy, you kill a lot of innocent peole along the way (well, I do atleast).  Agent 47 is the physical culmination of the "do the ends justify the means" debate.
-G Man from Halflife 2, while he seems to be Gordon's keeper, you are not totally sure what his motivations are.  Is he in it for personal power, or is he a worldly patriot, doing what he must to stop the Combine?  Putting Gordon into stasis wasnt very nice, but he also lets Gordon fight the good fight when he is assigned a "job".

All in all I heavily favor the villains.  Its odd because people often describe me as a grizzly bear with a heart of gold, or even a teddy bear.  I think my friends would be suprised to see how sadistic I am in my games.  In C&C, I will burn down a village before going around it.  Flame tanks for the win!

::EDIT::

Oh, I want to add Walton Simons, the FEMA director from Deus Ex.  I think that if Dick Cheney was younger and had bio implants, he would be Walton Simons *shiver*

And of course I gotta add my favorite hero of all time, JC DENTON!

Most definately have to go with Sam Fisher.  He's just that guy who knows he could kill you with a piece of paper, but doesn't say anything anyway...anyway his humor / lines are pretty much the best.

For Villain, I'd have to go w/ General Ontiveros from Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter...he's just so badass...and somehow controls an army of like 50,000 rebels...who just appear out of mexico unkown to anyone...now that takes a REAL leader..plus he looks like he has yellow eyes in the crosscom

Same here.

Agent 47 (Hitman series) -- Can't  decide whether to put him as Hero or Villain

Same goes for Arthas (Warcraft III)

ooooooh ya, Arthas...he was totally cool.  Although his voice just didnt match his attitude, imo.

I don't know whether they are called hero or villain but my favorite is:

    Tommy Vercetti

    Carl Johnson

    and Bully (This one is not PC, Actually)... 

Really tough for me to pick favorites but...

Hero: (Antihero) Garrett of the Thief series (I was going to say the Vault Dweller from the Fallout series but since you dictate basically everything about him/her, it's different for everyone who plays.) Awesome voice acting and dry, pragmatic attitude make him a winner for me, much like Sam Fisher but Garrett is the grandaddy of them all, as Thief was the first of it's kind.

Villain: I must concur with a previous post and say SHODAN. By far one of the most memorable game villains I've ever had the fortune of destroying (or did I?) due to stellar audio engineering and quality of the writing. Does her job extremely well as you almost don't want to end her at some points since it was just so effing rewarding to hear her taunt and/or praise you in her own way through out the game.

Just realized those are both Looking Glass games but what can I say. A golden era of games, they made. 

R.I.P. Looking Glass Studios

Can't wait for Bioshock.

Illidan from WC3 (PC)

Iori Yagami ( KOF Arcade)

I like villanish Heroes :D

 Hero

Solid Snake (Both PC and Console)

For Villian i would have to say.....Dr.Breen

Khelgar Iron Fist

Minsc w/ boo (1st n second game)

Agent Herman

Lara Croft

Larry....Larry Laffer

Villian: Dr. Isac Breen.

Hero: Dr. House.

Hero - the nameless blond from Quest for Glory I through V.  Also, maybe the geek from Fallout 2, the drug expert.

Sarevok from Baldur s Gate 1....amazing

I agree with that. 

Admiral Bosch from Freespace 2 was a good sympathetic villain, though his monologue's constant historical/mythological references were tiresome.

 SPOILERS

It was a nice development that his top-secret project which the good-guys assumed was a weapon of mass-destruction, was actually a communication device he was using to talk to Shivans.

Neutral: Kane ( Legacy of Kain )

My favorite hero has to be Guybrush Threepwood, and the villian is definitly LeChuck.brunocavaco

 Monkey Island FTW!

Least Favorite Villian: Lag.

why did i have to read through 9 posts before someone mentioned shodan?

what's wrong with you guys? your brains are damaged and broken and i very much do not agree with you or your entire agenda here

and i am not alone, our numbers are swelling - and we will not tolerate this

you have been warned.

See I would have said Shodan, but I think Many-as-One just sticks out more in System Shock 2 more than Shodan since most of the game you're going up against M-A-O.  Shodan just kinda swoops in at the last part. So yes, you're right Shodan is awesome, but she doesn't get the screen time to warrant a "Best of" or "Favorite" in my book.

Best Hero: Arthas

Best Villain: Arthas

hah find someone who can fit both.

Villain: The Guardian from Ultima VII, VIII, and IX

Hero: Fleet Control from Homeworld 1 and 2
