15 New Video Game Heroes - Ranked From Worst To Best

12. The Dragonborn (Skyrim)

Aesthetically, Mr. Born is a 10; just a mound of muscle, intent and traditional fantasy rolled into one. The second we saw this fella adorning the various materials leading up to the new Elder Scrolls, we knew Bethesda were onto a winner.

Sadly, qualifying him as a character opens up a glorious can o' worms I'll let you fight out in the comments: Are mute protagonists with zero agency of their own, still characters?

Many Gordon Freeman fans seem to think so, and though I'll fall back on the Dragonborn's many Shouts, fighting styles and abilities to say he's an outstanding hero to play as, when it comes to personality or any descriptions beyond appearance, you're on your own.
