What would he lie about? To whom? Researching and understanding how and why people react in situations is a powerful character development tool.

There is a difference between a middle-aged man, well-dressed, with his music playing and a middle-aged man, well-dressed, who always has jazz on in the background.

This distinction might not show through in the game, i. But you know he likes it. You know he would stop and tap his foot if he heard jazz coming from a bar when he walked down the street.

One example of character interaction we found particularly satisfying took place in Diablo III. Playing as a barbarian, nothing was quite as gratifying as our interactions with Maghda.

Our barbarian always promised to cleave her head from her shoulders. You recognize how completely sure of success your character is.

We know what wakes her up in the morning. We know what lets her sleep at night. And we know why she eats what she eats each day for lunch.

From that, we determine how she looks. Tanks are beefy and look like they can take some damage, rogues are lithe and darkly dressed.

Healers embrace robes and radiate golden auras. In Overwatch , every character has a totally unique appearance but still manages to fit within an archetype.

Each character has a distinct personality and psychology. Despite being male, offensive heroes that use guns, they are completely distinguishable.

The dangerous charm from McCree is very different from both the gristled badassery from Soldier 76 and the insidious lethality of Reaper.

Not only are these characters completely distinct from each other, but their personality, appearance, and overall design also inform the players of how they should be played.

Overwatch is a great example of how to create impressively distinct characters with archetypes as inspiration. Games with good character creation should be cherished, as they let us fulfill our gaming dreams.

These games have fulfilled all of the necessary criteria for good character design. We wish we could steal his gold all the time. Also known as CoD Kevin Spacey.

Sticking with the fun villain theme started by our friend Mr. Spacey , we have the big baddie from Borderlands 2 coming in hot. Look at this guy!

No neck, no arms, no legs! That would be boring! Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox is still one of the greatest action-adventure games ever made.

A work of Unlabored Flawlessness. This iconic purple dragon was always a little too cute for our taste. We still had to give him a nod. This guy is just a real go-getter, and you really have to admire that.

Ah, Deckard Cain. A character that embraces his archetype with a fervor unmatched in all of Sanctuary. Or at least in all of Tristram. Where would we be without this guy?

Zelda , a name all non-gamers can inexplicably recall. Ah, we have yet another iconic character in this bald-head barcode boy. The man could clean up!

Compared to Wario, Mario looks like a weak little wimp. Maybe Nintendo should do some reconsidering on who gets all the chips. As long as you follow me, you will never see the day.

Wily is the quintessential Mad Scientist villain: big hair, brilliant inventor, flies around in a buzzy hovercraft.

Perpetual enemy of Mega Man, this robo-killing goof ends up giving Mega Man more and more powers. So he sort of causes his own downfall, making him that much more charming.

Since then, the Metroid franchise has told a complex, standout story that has turned Samus into one of the most influential video game heroes of all time.

This poor creature. The number of miles on those hoofs. Ultimately, he's the one who sufferers because of your terrible travel management.

This ox is a symbol of progress and hope and utter loyalty. Ox will remain by your side, even if you're an absolute moron. Look at the damn picture.

Has any video game character been through as much as Bella Goth? In The Sims Bella was enjoying the high life at 5 Sim Avenue, where she lived with her wealthy husband and young daughter, filling her days with painting, piano, and paranormal research.

Then it all went sideways in The Sims 2 , when Bella mysteriously disappeared via alien abduction, only to wash up memory-wiped in Strangetown.

While Bella wandered around in a daze, her husband married a woman only out for the Goth family fortune, and her daughter walked down the aisle with the last man who saw Bella alive fishy, right?

In The Sims 4 , Bella exists in an alternate timeline, where she lives a happy family life by day and works as a secret agent by night.

These things used to be an abomination in my eyes. Why were the goombas so weird in Super Mario World?

The question kept 9-year-old me up for weeks, but now all has been made clear. Why adding an L took them from worst to best I really don't know.

But Galoombas are the best enemy in any game, period. But there are few ways to describe the feeling of playing as Ellie in The Last of Us.

If you haven't played Dead Cells , just know this character has a smokey, glowing head, or lack thereof. We love an open-ended, well-designed protagonist with great fashion sense.

The bug-eyed hedgehog has tried just about everything to run himself straight off this list in the past 20 years.

Cringey sequels, the introduction of nightmarish furries to his friend group, the movie that shall not be named. But the football will outlive them all.

Even you, Tom. Someone else who helped demolish those damsel in distress character tropes? Lara Croft, raider of tombs. Looking at you, hedgehog.

If I hear one more ItsameMario! How exactly has Crash Bandicoot endured as an all-timer of a mascot?

Fun fact: Crash was almost named Wizzy the Wombat. Whatever the appeal of a genetically engineered bandicoot is, Crash has probably fronted a few of your favorite childhood titles.

What the hell even is a bandicoot? Red Gyarados. Earl Dervish. Week Siblings. Red's Charizard. Kimono Girls. Kurt's Granddaughter.
