StaceyPowers Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Who are some video game characters that changed dramatically between installments in a series? A couple of examples I can come up with are Ellie in TLOU Parts 1 and 2, and Anders between Dragon Age Awakening and DA II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Blades in the Dark. You technically gain a few things via the XP system, but they're not especially powerful and don't really change your character much. What does change your character is Trauma, and when you accumulate 4 levels of Trauma, your character retires - they are physically or mentally unable to keep going.

Reality vs Adventure Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 No doubt the biggest character change is V in Cyberpunk 2077. Not only is your mind getting all f%%% up, but your body changes as you install cyberware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I'd say Vergil from the Devil May Cry games - he started out as a selfish prick of a brother who's powerhungry but by the end of it, he comes to adore his son Nero and also comes to respect Dante.

Kane99 Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I think Jimmy Hopkins from Bully is the most changed. I mean, look at how he comes in, and then how it ends. He comes in as a lone wolf and then kind of becomes a popular person among the students. I feel he changed a lot over the game. And as well, he's probably the most progressive since he is open to any relationship in the game. I mean if you want to, you could kiss just about anyone in the game if I remember correctly. Can't forget about Arthur Morgan from RDR2 as well. I feel like he came from a ruthless lawman to being someone respected and forgiven in a way. I feel like he broke from bad to good.

Arthur is a good shout but what I feel is that Arthur was always one of the more rational people in the gang. Most of his ruthless tendencies early on were always for a good reason.

I didn't play a lot of Bully as it wasn't a game I really enjoyed myself but my son played it a lot when it first came out and for years after that and I saw a lot of it as he played and I would definitely have to say that Jimmy Hopkins has got to be the one character I have seen change the most in a video game from start to finish.

Maybe it was when he was talking with one of the women in camp about murdering too many people in game for no reason (by the players actions). But I thought there was some monologue about how he did bad things in the past that he probably didn't need to do. But yeah, I still think he is the most rational of the whole bunch. 3 hours ago, Shortie said: I didn't play a lot of Bully as it wasn't a game I really enjoyed myself but my son played it a lot when it first came out and for years after that and I saw a lot of it as he played and I would definitely have to say that Jimmy Hopkins has got to be the one character I have seen change the most in a video game from start to finish. You should play it. It's like a tame version of GTA, but more linear. Why didn't you enjoy it? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Ellie from *TLOU* and Anders in *Dragon Age* are great examples. Another one is Kratos from *God of War* huge shift! killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with Kratos. At the beginning, he was filled with rage and anger but by the end of the series, he'd come to terms with the fact that slaughtering people unnecessarily wasn't a sustainable path for him and his family.
