10 Video Game NPCs You Shouldn't Have Trusted

Throughout the original Metal Gear Solid, Solid Snake is aided via codec by Master Miller, a former drill instructor and survival coach who basically serves as moral support during the more arduous portions of Snake's mission.

Yet the fact that Miller doesn't really dispense much in the way of tangible advice, sticking more to broad platitudes, probably should've clued players in to the deception happening right in front of their face.

Late in the game, "Miller" reveals that he isn't actually Snake's pal but rather the game's primary antagonist and Solid's twin brother, Liquid Snake, who has tied his hair back and hidden his distinctive eyes behind a pair of sunglasses.

At this moment, Colonel Campbell also reveals to Solid that the real Miller's body was just discovered at his home, having presumably been killed by Liquid (or his men) in order to impersonate him.

It's an ingenious twist that makes replaying the game a totally fascinating experience, knowing full well that every verbose conversation you have with Miller throughout the game is just Liquid screwing with you and basically wasting your time.

While anyone who noticed that Cam Clarke voiced both Liquid and Miller probably thought nothing of it, it should actually be a total red flag not to trust Miller at all.
