Mine is Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark N64)
Aloy from the Horizon series
if you know you knowSome of my other picks have already been mentioned so I’ll go with an obscure answer: Cpt. Olivia Rhodes from the VR game Lone Echo.
She is by far the most realistic and immersive NPC I have ever had the fortune of experiencing. The storytelling and immersion in Lone Echo is S tier. The game itself is in my top three VR games with Half-Life Alyx and Boneworks.
Traff (the Princess of Cursing) from Ink Inside (a cartoon action RPG)
Lilith “the Firehawk” (Borderlands)

Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Fantastic voice acting, awesome gameplay, beautiful world. 10/10 I love her.
Cate Archer from No One Lives Forever
Adding a pic of our favourite spy
She got an honorable mention from me in my post. She was a lot of fun to play as and the game would not have been the same with any other MC.
I like her character and I’ve only had the chance to watch gameplay videos online.
The games are available for free on NOLF revival if you want to play. Nobody knows who owns the IP so there is nobody enforcing the copyright.
The setting, theme and writing is really fun but the gameplay really hasn’t aged well.
Zero, from Drakengard 3. The perfect amount of crude and the dryest delivery of humor imagineable.
Loved her brand of heroism. Kill her sisters, steal their men, saved the world
Yeah she was badass
Alyx
Mara Jade from Mysteries of the Sith (and Star Wars extended universe)
Thanks for the tip, En Garde looks like a lot of fun and I’ll definitely wishlist it for a future sale!
Maya Amano from the Persona 2 duology
“Let’s think positive!”
Nice choice, but personally I always found Terra a bit hard to relate to, very fey and even sort of creepy in her half-Esper form.
Celes, on the other hand, is a bonafide badass, and her storyline was among the better developed ones and more humanizing than most of the other characters in the game. Although romantically I think she could probably do better than Locke. That boy needs some help.
I agree. That scene on the island with Celes hit me like a ton of bricks the first time.
Can I say female V from CP2077?
Okay, V is what you make of her, but damn the story bites hard. The voicing is superb, and customisations permissive.
V as female felt more apt for me than V as male
I was so surprised how weirdly cast male V was, he always sounded like someone doing a kinda cringy 1930’s mobster impression.
Switched to female V, and it was night and day.
I’m playing Cyberpunk now for the first time but knew who the voice actress was for female V - Cherami Leigh. She always does a wonderful job and can communicate emotion eloquently in her work. Instantly picked her for my first playthrough.
Here’s her characters in some of my favorite media:
- Makoto Nijima, Persona 5
- A2, NieR:Automata
- Sonia, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
- Asuna Yuuki, Sword Art Online
- Sailor Venus in Sailor Moon Viz dub
Make V’s voice actor sucks so much. It is the cringiest shit on earth. It’s remarkable compared to how organic Jackie sounds.
