As for my favorite normal character... that's just too hard. The entire cast of QFG4 and 5. Perhaps my favorite is Salim the apothecary. He always made me feel welcome. Also, Rakeesh. Tex Murphy and Gabriel Knight are nice, but then, I think I like Leshy from QFG4 even more... nah, this is impossible. The only one I can really name my favorite is the narrator from QFG4. Another QFG fanatic!! Well mine will be (Since I don't know what Tex Murphy is, Sam the bagger from QFG1. Just kidding. Grace Nakimura, and Simon.

I gotta play one of the Tex Murphy games. Which one is the best? Considering I like FMV best, comic style artwork second best, Sierra type painted art and prerendered 3rd and realtime 3D last?

and
Freddy Pharkas. He's quite an interesting character, especially for one from the mind of the creator of Larry Laffer. What's even funnier is that he has this really powerful, manly, western-hero voice, and in the really hilarious outtakes after the game, he suddenly starts talking like a complete wuss. ("This is RIDICULOUS! I swear, I will SUE if something goes wrong! This is what happened to Margaret Hamilton, you know!"

1) The coroner from Grim Fandango... It may sound odd, but when Manny asks if he can help him, and he says "just hold that leaf for me" and manny just stands there, and after 10 seconds manny says "I can't do it" and the coroner says "I know"... I'll never be able to forget that. It's such an insignificant part of the game, but for me, the most striking dialogue of any game I've ever played. And for that, the coroner gets my #1 pick.
***END GF SPOILERS***
2) Gabriel Knight from GK1 just because he's not a vanilla character. He has an edge to him.
3) Abnaxus (sp?) Venar of TLJ. He's got some cool dialogue.
Honorable Mention:
Stauf from T7G!!!!! "Ooooooooh, baaaaad move!"

Status : Online | I see myself agreeing with alot of the participants in this thread when I say that I have Tex Murphy () and Gabriel Knight (Mysterious & always with some good lines to boot) have to be my favorite characters of all time.
Tex because he is the "Funniest character ever" in adventure gaming...
Gabriel simply because of the brilliant balance of the character as well as all the nice lines he comes up with in each title. No doubt Tim Curry did a splendid job as GK in I & III.
Honorable mentions must go to Larry Laffer, George Stobbard & everyone's favorite villian from GK2, Van Glower.

Really, he's in that one too?! I have the Larry collection and played the text version, as I thought there was no talkie version on it. ??? I have definitely to check that one out!

You've really been missing out on a lot of the fun if you haven't played the talkie version of LSL6, Wimli. The talkie version should be easy to get on eBay. The talkie version also has hi-res graphics BTW.

| Deleted User | I'll go along with Gabriel and the Baron (sexy eyes!).
Larry was a bit of an idiot but that was his role .... and those LSL games were very funny and a little suggestive. I recall when I bought the LSL "Greatest Hits" (all games on CD) that the adolescent sales person "warned" me that the games were a "little rauchy". Raunchy? Here was this pimple-faced kid telling Grandma how to suck eggs. I had played them all on "floppies", just wanted my own "collection". I forget what he was playing at the time, no doubt something less "raunchy" like "oom" or something. :
