Male Character of the Generation: Round 2, Group 1

[OMINOUS WALKING DEAD QUOTE]

Who are you?

WEI SHEN MOTHER-FUCKER, WHO ARE YOU?!?!?!?!

.... people are voting for Wei Shan over Garrus? Someone clearly needs to calibrate the holy hell out of this poll.

I voted for Wei Shen due to him being an underdog compared to the ME characters. Wei Shen is a boss, the open world main character done right.

Can it wait for a bit? Im in the middle of some calibrations.

Geralt>Garrus>Wei Shen. Though I guess I'm happy with any of those 3 winning this poll.

Garrus, easily. One of my favorite video game characters ever. Calibrate that shit, dawg.

The most ominous quote of them all:

Geralt guys, He's a god damn WITCHER BITCH.

I see him now, sorry. So confused. The Witcher.

Calibrate This

Geralt, basically no contest. Wei is a real bro though, would vote for him otherwise.

Happy to see all of the Mass Effect characters rounded up into one group.

Garrus is the most boring character in Mass Effect.

MORDIN.

Mordin

It was a toss up between Mordin and Garrus for me, but I went with Garrus because while Mordin is very cool, he fits best as a support character. Garrus is a more rounded individual who, if given the chance, could carry his own game as the lead. I liked having Mordin on my ship, I preferred having Garrus in my party.

No Garl Vinland. You fuckers let me down.

Happy to see Joel, Mordin and Garrus are holding their own here, all are great. In the context of the games and not the books, I don't think Geralt is a particularly memorable or interesting protagonist at all. He seems like a combination of a generic gruff-voiced badass and bland cut-out for the player to embody. Also, anybody who went with an american accent apart from Dandelion just didn't sound right to me.

Garrus took a missile to the face and only started kicking more ass afterwards.

Garrus.

Welp, this just got stupid tough.

I had to give it to Lee, although it was heartbreaking to let my boy Garrus go. Why did you do this Hailinel, why?!?!?! :'(

I'll just give Thane some love here.

Man, this one is turning into a fight.

It had to be this way! Although, I don't think you have too much need to be heartbroken over Garrus in this round, from the way things are shaking out so far.

What is this bullshit Mass Effect plague taking over this site?

Gotta give it to the bro of the generation, Garrus.

Oh, I dunno. Legion's story was great. So him, I guess.

"_______ of the Generation" fatigue starting to kick in.

The Witchaa

But... but Phoenix...

sure is gross

rollin with Geralt all the way

@the_reflection: I dunno, maybe it's because people really like the series?

Mordin Solus is the sympathetic alien Dr. Mengele of video games.

Mordin, absolutely. The ending to his arc helped, somewhat, redeem a lot of the problems I had with Mass Effect 3. I also continue to be baffled by the love people have for Wei Shen... Maybe I should play through the game again.

Oh, and good on Cole for even somehow managing to make it this far ;P

I chose Cole, I like him.

Very tough choice between Lee Everett and Geralt. Ended up going with Lee though because he was the character I was able to connect with the most, since he does what he believes is right and does whatever he can to protect the ones that he love (Unless if you play him as a stoic asshole I suppose), not to mention he's also a black lead in a video game that is pulled off perfectly without dipping into any stereotypes.

Seriously, fuck Mass Effect. Went with Joel, Lee was also pretty good.

There's about an hour left to vote in this poll before it closes, ladies and gents.

Holy Shit this is depressing. Mass Effect 2 as game of the gen and then also as best character? Oh man....

Geralt of Motherfucking Rivia. The majority of his name is a goddamn phrase!

This poll is now closed. Mordin, Garrus, and Geralt are all moving on to the semifinals!
