2) Ellie (The Last of Us). With every fiber of my being I wanted her to stay. And it broke my fucking heart when she left. But I understood. Cause you can't just make that pain disappear. How do you make peace when you can't find any yourself? One of the best written characters in gaming, period.
3) Saga Anderson. You know how hard it is to make me like a cop? ...it's very hard lol Went into Alan Wake 2 just wanting more Alan. Left *deeply* invested in Saga's story, her family, her abilities, and the mystery behind them all. The wait for AW3 is gonna be brutal 😭
There was a moment in TLOU where some dudes ambush Joel and Ellie and get them to crash the vehicle they commandeered. Joel gets separated and eventually finds Ellie pinned by a jerk. It was one of the few times I found myself in genuine anger, anxious to smash the guy's face in. Heck of a game.
