What video game character would you want to be your real-life friend?

If you could be friends with any video game character in real life, who would it be and why? Note: not necessarily your favorite video game character, but rather someone you think would actually make a good friend.

For me, I think I would pick Mjoll from Skyrim. She is genuinely honorably and loyal. I know many gamers find Aerin irritating, but I love that she makes her friendship with him a permanent priority.

After that, I’d pick Leliana from DA. I like that she enjoys cunning, but she has a conscience and can be trusted. She’s also open-minded and not afraid to be seen as strange.

Hmm, good question. I find Ellie from The Last Of Us very likeable and a compelling character. She'd be handy to have around if things kicked off, but also has a warm, funny side, too. 

I'm also pretty enamoured with Nathan Drake. He's a cool dude who's also a whizz with his history so I'm sure he has a ton of interesting stories to tell.

Oh that's such a good question...

I always wanted to meet Lara Croft. And of course, hanging out with Guybrush Threepwood would never get old.

Mostly I like Cassidy from Fallout 2. I also liked Sulik, generally Fallout had great NPCs.

PoE Shaper - He is the strongest creature in my favorite PoE. I have already spent a lot of currency and used a lot of orbs to beat Shaper - it would be good to have him on the team.

Clementine from The Walking Dead video game would be a pretty good friend. I could learn much about zombies and be friends.

Totally agree with you about Ellie! So cool!

Glados! Well, at least if she wants to be friends! If she wants to lock me in chambers and watch me die then sign me out and I'll go with Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite.
