10 RPG Characters We Couldn't Wait To Kill

Oh, please let me kill them!

Role-playing games are known for many things, such as thrilling worlds, great abilities, and epic adventures. However, one of the genre's most significant appeals is its focus on characters.

Exploring an RPG leads to many interactions with fascinating NPCs who fill their worlds with charm. Hell, it can be easy to fall for such characters, giving you the feeling you've made great companions inside these digital worlds.

But forget all that soppy friendship stuff because this list is about the complete opposite. It's time to talk about the characters you loathe with such a passion that you have a burning desire to lop their heads off their shoulders.

Making enemies with video game characters and planning to end their lives is a thrill only gaming can achieve. If you hate a character in a TV series, you have to wait and hope they bite the dust. But, with a controller and a can-do attitude, you can take justice into your own hands.

The following RPG characters are prime targets for this, as they rub most gamers the wrong way. The thought of killing them is practically mouth-watering.

10. Fingers (Cyberpunk 2077)

Many people in Night City deserve a painful death. But, damn, this NPC goes above and beyond to make you want to kill him. He's so gross, nasty, and slimy you'd want to rip your skin off if he even so much as poked you. 

Fingers is a Ripperdoc known for doing reprehensible things. He willingly performs shady operations on struggling citizens, such as sex workers or drug addicts, giving them lacklustre tech jobs and using their desperation to please his whims. 

He's a reprehensible monster who preys on people with nowhere else to turn, drawing you into his presence in your hunt for Evelyn Parker. Was he kind and helpful to the struggling doll? Of course not. 

Killing Fingers was once a tough call, as this scummy doc did have plenty of great tech you'd miss out on by taking him out. But, thankfully, the Cyberpunk 2.0 update revamped the cyberware system and made his inventory accessible via other ripperdocs. 

It's like CD Projekt Red said, "We know you want to kill this guy. Go ahead."
