10 Best Sci-Fi Video Game Characters Of All Time
7. Cayde-6 - Destiny 2
In a game that isn't widely known for strong writing and stellar character development, Cayde-6 breaks the norm. This is undoubtedly one of the many reasons why he is so beloved, with another being that he's voiced by the immensely likable Nathan Fillion, of Firefly fame.
Fillion brings his signature sass to the role, and in turn Cayde-6 is one of the few characters who feels like he has a human side, despite being an Exo. The writing for Cayde-6 gives the cutscenes he's in through Destiny 2 and its expansion Forsaken so much added humour, which is an element that has been sorely lacking in the franchise up to now.
Cayde-6's likeability doesn't end there, however. As a hunter, he is more than capable of backing up his big mouth with a capable skillset, and his ability is supplemented by a flair for the dramatic.
With the news that Sony has acquired Destiny developer Bungie, Cayde-6's fantastic character development fits in nicely with the ever-expanding line-up of superb PlayStation characters.
Even at the very end, his snarky self was never short of something to say. Loving Cayde-6 was the best bet that players ever lost.
