For me it is Chloe from Detroit Become Human. I like her because she is beautiful, expressive, she breaks the fourth wall and evolve alongside with me the player. It is like she is being affected by my choices in the game.

Probably basic but Handsome Jack in Borderlands. He is such a perfect villain in my opinion, always there and it does feel like he is in control throughout the game. Spoiler for Tales

spoiler for Tales from the borderlands

His appearance in tales is also great, a sort of devil on your shoulder, and at the end after trying to reclaim his former granduer is patheticly begging for his "life"

I always find it fascinating that people enjoyed him. I personally thought his character was incredibly annoying, and I just wanted him to stfu. I guess that's the point though.

I mean like everything it is very subjective, I didn't like the replacement characters in Borderlands 3 they made to recapture how successful Handsome Jack was a villain, but Borderlands 3 has a loooot of writing and pacing issues. It could also be that I played Borderlands 2 when I was in my mid teens and still in school.

I can definitely see why you find him annoying, I definitely wanted to shoot him in the face throughout the story. I felt his quips were also "humanising" aspect, at the beginning of the game he seems somewhat all powerful with a lot of the things he does, but then he says things that make you go, I could just shoot him

Is Tales from the Borderlands good for someone without experience/interest in other Borderlands games? I like narrative games but not FPS.

That's a hard one, it is probably my favourite, but that is from someone who played Borderlands 1 and 2, and enjoys Telltale games. I do think tales is good, but some of the impact is derived from characters or elements from the other games.
