10 Most Annoying Video Game Characters Ever

2. Elena Fisher (the Uncharted series)

Usually, when the protagonist of a game gets a sidekick of any kind, they would surely expect that person to help them. Nathan Drake, therefore, should seriously reconsider his taste in women. Elena Fisher is cursed by the double whammy of disturbing levels of ineptitude, coupled with a really, really annoying voice. Every door Nate wants to go through when she is around is locked from the other side, meaning an arduous trek for our hero, usually involving climbing sheer cliff faces and killing dozens of people at the same time, whilst Elena stands around admiring the view and being judgemental towards the poor guy. I€™ve yet to see her actually kill a mercenary €“ and let€™s be honest; Nate has plenty of enemies to choose from. Almost every major antagonist brings several small armies to take care of the intrepid explorer, yet when confronted with a horde of gunmen, Elena turns from a feisty, independent woman into someone with the marksmanship of an Imperial Stormtrooper, and absolutely no bravado. She just hides behind walls yelling €œNATE!€ over and over again. Yes, Elena, I can see the several thousand people with automatic weapons advancing towards us. How about you shout at me a little less, and help me deal with them for a change?
