8 Video Game Characters You Should Never Fall In Love With

The moment Lady D from the outstandingly silly Resident Evil Village arrived on the scene, it awakened a wave of sensual longing that experts will, in years to come, describe as "horrifying".

The outpour of lusty comments, lewd drawings, and overall worship of this towering vampire was enough to drown in, and yet, thanks to the internet doing what it does best and getting ahead of itself, those droplets of drool fell upon a dusty desert of disappointment when the game finally dropped.

For you see Capcom, smelling pennies in the water, pivoted hard into this lucrative and rapidly emerging "massive mommy" market and delivered trailers and hype packages that bigged up the already larger-than-life antagonist.

Yet here's the problem: She was never intended to play a large role in the game.

In reality, Lady D's sections take up a relatively short amount of space in Village's runtime, and so many were actively disappointed when she was sent to the great beyond within a few hours, especially since the marketing had suggested her involvement made up about 90% of the experience. In truth, the real experience was that of many strange broken hearts crying out on internet forums that their desired "step on me" session was more of a swift kick in the plumbs with steel toe-capped boots, and was a soundtrack that Capcom likely had on repeat as it counted its piles of pre-order money.
