10 Amazing Video Game Characters That Were Killed Off Way Too Quickly

Benny is one of the most iconic characters from Fallout: New Vegas, even though you kill him relatively early in the story.

His fame within the game's community isn't just a matter of his legendary appearance in the game's intro (although it definitely helps), but also because he is an intriguing character with an equally intriguing master plan that you never get to see bear fruit.

Let's be honest, Benny is basically the whole reason behind the plot of Fallout: New Vegas. Not because he shoots you in the head, but because he's the one who crossed Mr. House and took the platinum chip.

Before you begin your hunt for him, Benny orchestrated a multi-layered plan to take New Vegas from House that was to culminate with him using the platinum chip to take over House's robot army.

You, of course, kill Benny before he can succeed, and then you get the option to finish what he started. However, you have to admit, the concept of working together with a guy who managed to outsmart all of your opponents or going toe-to-toe with him in a fight for New Vegas sounds way more interesting.

Well, at least you can settle for the second-best thing—eating his corpse.
