I'll have you know there's no ....

Naaaaw, I love him! He's just a misunderstood ADHD robot without friends. Cut him some slack!

Did you play his sidequest with getting people to come to his birthday party in Borderlands 2?

I actually named my home server claptrap. My desktop is chappie (from the movie of the same name, with another anthro robot).

I agree, but I do think that is kind of the point with him.

I do not get every other character's willingness to overlook it and treat him like just another quirky member of the gang. I mean, Tanisha has no social skills but she's at least clever and has some clear utility to the Raiders.

Link! Link! LINK! LISTEN!

Watch out!

Whenever I replay OOT I never have a problem with Navi. She rarely hard interrupts, usually just a short tone and flashing C button that goes away after a few seconds. The voice lines only trigger if you press the button to call her, in most cases the hints she gives are genuinely helpful, and stays out of your way for the vast majority of the game.

Fi from skyward sword though..... Far worse because she does interrupt gameplay, often repeats what the last dialogue box just fucking told you, and takes several dialogue boxes to tell you what Navi would have taken one to do. I'm glad they significantly overhauled her interactions in the HD release but I'm still going to be hesitant to play that game again

Paimon has that obnoxious Elmo complex. Sing-songy PLUS can't speak in the first person.

Paimon was a main reason I stopped playing.

Yeah, I was puzzled when OP listed Faith as most annoying; I don't think they paid attention to the story.

I found her more interesting than many other Far Cry antagonists, let alone other video games characters.

I'm replaying the Arkham series and I'd forgotten that Ashley's VA plays Oracle. I couldn't figure out why I was getting annoyed every time she called Batman until I made that connection.

I think the girl was even more annoying and creepy as fuck to boot.

That game should be called Children Ruin Everything.

I forgot about Ashley. Literally lost just about all my ammo in one section trying to save her.

SHAUUUUUN
SHAAAUUUUUUN

I haven't played that in like 15 years and it was still the first game that came to mind. Mainly that one area. You know the one.

The Owl from OOT as well

Pokemon didn't grow up with it's player base. They try and keep the storylines Kid friendly, when I'd guess 70%+ of players are adults.

Black & White probably had the most "Adult" narratives of the series, delving into the slavery/forced labor a bit. I'd love to see the games delve into some more adult themes, but I doubt it will happen.

My friends and I called all annoying companion/escort characters “Buttfuck”. Natalia was the buttfuckiest Buttfuck.

The way they were infuriating motivated the player and makes it satisfying when you beat them, so being annoying was absolutely the right choice. The last Pokemon games I played were on DS where your "rivals" were nice and supportive and non-annoying and they were boring and I would have fastforwarded them if I could have.

I was on Team Yuffie until

I had a bit of an inverse experience between the two. My gut reaction to Wyll was good, but his story made me dislike him, but Gale I disliked off the bat but came to appreciate after a bit of dialogue.
