Niko is my favorite. It's a shame that rockstar is probably never going to speak to the voice actor again.

My favorite is Geralt of Rivia, though he's only new to gaming this generation. Total badass.

I love all of them except for Marcus, but Im going to have to say Niko, closely followed by Travis. His voice is brilliant and It has been a long time since i have liked a character this much in gaming

Niko without doubt. Drake is cool too but its kind of the typical stereotipe of a cool good lookin guy. Niko is more realistic and with a peculiar humour.

Why do polls allways not have what I want to vote for...

Put Eddie Riggs in the poll or this thread fails at being awesome.

Obviously none of those one-dimensional characters.

I'll go with Gwendolyn, Oswald, Cornelius and Velvet from Odin Sphere. After that, I'd go with Strelok (STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl) and Lucien Lachance (TESIV: Oblivion, I know he isn't a "main") and Geralt (The Witcher).

The voice actor complained about how much he got paid after he found out how well the GTA series sells.

Drake no doubt. It was about time we get a character like that. i was tired of all of that soldier type characters, or badass characters, or emo boys with weird hairstyles. Its a really good character, with a very likeable personality, and its just great to have him has main character. And hes funny, most of game main characters are always so serious. It gets boring to play trough the whole game with a character so serious. i dont ever get tired of drake, his lines are great. Its fun to watch. and games are meant to be funny.

Nope... but from what I know about Travis, he's cool, but not the "best" character. There is more to being a "character" than being cool. If this was about being "cool," Altair, Ezio, Nero and a bunch of other badasses would be on my list.

Nathan Drake.

He is lovable, funny, and such a normal guy.

Half of it is due to the wit and non-scripted remarks by his voice actor, the other half is his dashing good looks, though in Uncharted 1 he somewhat reminded me of a weasel or Sid from Ice Age for some reason.

I was going to put him on the list but I bet most people here haven't played The Witcher before.

So you put Travis Touchdown and not Geralt? Especially considering that The Witcher sold much more then No more heroes?

I like Drake and Mr. Bellic the most out of those choices. I'll go with Niko over Nathan though. Drake's a nice guy and all but he's not as deep as Niko is, hopefully uncharted 3 focus' on character development a bit more. I wouldn't count Geralt since he was originally from books and not a game so he's not really new.

Dude. Travis is a LOSER. A beam katana wielding anime-loving badass loser. Seriously, his whole goal in the game is to get laid.

Nathan Drake is one of the most generic and uninspired characters. I just hope he doesn't become a trend.
