Game characters you just wanted to give a hug?
- Thread starter Gold Arsene
- Start date
Whenever there's a dog companion that keeps you company in an otherwise lonely game. The bestest of boys.
Vaylin, from Star Wars The Old Republic.
Caged, brain-washed over and over again by an abusive monster of "father", for the sole purpose of being "too powerful".
Just look at this and tell me you don't feel for her :
She deserved so much better, the poor thing.

I'm pretty susceptible to animal companions, and so my first thought was agro from shadow of the colossus
I finished rdr2 somewhat recently. let's just say that I got really used to hearing THAT'S MY BOAH
What's going on here? Is the horse enormous or is the person small?
Ah, I see you are individuals of culture, as well.
Shiho Suzui from Persona 5
Plain Doll from Bloodborne
Eder from Pillars of Eternity. Total bro who loves petting animals and loves to joke around.
Yukiko Amagi from Persona 4
Arthur Morgan in RDR 2
after visiting the doctor and he gets diagnosed with Tuberculosis. Wear a face mask though to avoid germs for a safe hug
That was my answer too. Lucas has to have the rawest deal if any character I've ever seen in a game. Over the course of the game he:
- Sees his Mother violently killed protecting him from a monster that had been friendly prior to being driven mad with cybernetics.
- Loses his twin brother when the brother attempts to avenge their mother by killing the monster.
- Watches his father grow withdrawn and distant as he spends his time searching for Lucas's brother, leading him to grow up neglected by his only remaining family.
- Watches as his hometown is "modernized" from a tight night rural community to a cold and detached one in which everyone becomes obsessed with materialism and status.
- Learns the entire world was mostly destroyed long ago, and his friends and family are the last of humanity, and they aren't doing a particularly good job with the last chance they were given.
- Learns his brother's body was claimed by the villains and turned into a cyborg against his will.
- Sees his father potentially fatally wounded protecting him from his cyborg brother.
- Forced to fight his brother while the spirit of their mother begs for the boys to stop fighting.
- After his brother regains his senses (which involves letting him beat the shit out of Lucas while Lucas doesn't fight back), he unwittingly assists in his brother's final suicide, and cradles him in his arms as the brother dies for real.
- Potentially brings about the end of the world by awakening the dragon that was being contained by the final needle.
Don't worry Aqua, we'll get you back
For sure she's my choice too. Poor girl.
A2 from Nier A, I mean all of the characters in the Nier universe have shitty lives.

Mayuri from Steins;Gate 0 specifically. Would someone please give this girl a damn hug?! Too pure.

That's a phenomenal selection.Toad Jr. (TJ) from The Wolf Among Us:
Also a sad reminder that we're not getting a sequel...
Maybe not from me particularly as it would be creepy coming from a grown ass man, but half the characters in Rule of Rose need a hug big time
For those not planning to play the game but want details, check this 1 hr+ long video analysis (most of which is accurate)

Nate and Elena at the end of Uncharted 4, the cast of Persona 5.
But most of all, Toriko from The Last Guardian. At least I have my dog (he's awesome).

Robin from Iconoclasts.
Especially after the end. She fights through the Theocratic Military, loses friends and family and it turns out that their God was just a bird guy who wanted fuel for his starship. All the death, pain and suffering ended up serving no purpose whatsoever.
This is a very compelling argument here. Forgot just how fucked this game is.
The sandbag from SSB exists to only get the shit beaten out of it, and I'm pretty sure it's sentient so it deserves a shoutout...

I've said this before, but the 0.2 intro gives me tears every time I watch it.
If Aqua doesn't get a happy ending with her friends Nomura is dead to me.
I really wanted to hug Hyun-ae from Analogue: A Hate Story. She suffered so much trauma.
And yes, Madeline from Celeste is a great pick as well.

Also, Sierra 117. He was kidnapped and forced into the life of a soldier from a young age and due to the intense training and augmentations candidates (many died) had to undergo to become Spartans he became more stoic and even robotic at times, only rarely showing emotion due to the connection forged with Cortana.
Chief deserves a damn hug if any character does dammit! >: (
Any Pokemon, especially Ditto.
Any Digimon, especially Belzemon.

Lucas from Indigo Prophecy after he guts that guy at the diner bathroom with a steak knife and is freaking out later on at his apartment
It was a cute comic... I thought it was thematically appropriate...
Literally in a thread with various non-human things and people even younger being put forward, you want to imply something malicious specifically about this one... Shes not even 14...
