* In ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'', Nomi-Nomi is the most exuberant among Sol's peers. They're almost always happy to see Sol and even flap their arms to greet them, they gush about their fandoms without stopping for breath, and they certainly enjoy Vertumnalia's pop culture trivia contests. Nomi also squees as they ship their avatar with Sol's in ''[[FictionalVideoGame Legends of Avamar]]'' and gets adorably flustered if Sol dates them in real life.

* The ''VideoGame/AtelierSeries'' is known for its emphasis on {{Moe}} characters, so it has a few adorable dorks:
** [[VideoGame/AtelierRoronaTheAlchemistOfArland Rorolina Frixell]] combines CuteClumsyGirl, GenkiGirl, and GeniusDitz into something extremely cute. It's hard not to find her endearing when she [[TheNicknamer tries to give a nickname to everyone she encounters]].
** [[VideoGame/AtelierAyeshaTheAlchemistOfDusk Ayesha Altugle]], a friendly and cheerful, but also shy and awkward girl who often stutters her way through conversations. She's considered one of the cutest characters in the series, which is saying a lot.

* Naomi in ''VideoGame/GoodbyeVolcanoHigh''. An adorable, timid bookworm girl with glasses and poor public speaking skills, her awkward interactions with the other characters made her endearing to audiences. Boosting her popularity as the game progresses is the revelation that [[spoiler:she's in love with Fang and is the secret admirer that's been helping Fang out throughout the game]].

* Kazuma Kiryu from the ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'' series has some shades of this. While he's a tough-as-nails, intimidating ex-yakuza, he also gets [[SeriousBusiness extremely passionate to a silly degree]] about whatever hobbies he picks up in each game.

** Otacon, ''especially'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4''. His backstory and the events of the game make him a huge {{Woobie}}, and he becomes easily flustered and has a soft manner of speaking. He has crushes on both Sniper Wolf in the first game and Naomi in the fourth [[spoiler:who both end up dying in front of him as he cries pathetically]].

*** Like Naoto, Makoto has a pretty serious personality, but she shows shades of this as well. During the Madarame arc (as well as the start of the Kaneshiro arc), she started following Joker around with a manga magazine that she obviously isn't reading. She is also shown to be [[GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies scared of some "spooky" things]] as when the Phantom Thieves broke into the Sakura house, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVADRJknY58 this happens]]. Even in battle, one of her three possible quotes at the end of her All-Out-Attack is her shouting "FIST OF JUSTICE!" in a hilariously hammy manner.

*** Cullen, the commander of the Inquisition's military, is as adorkable in personal matters as he is confident on the battlefield. This is only pronounced if he is romanced but if he is, the guy has this in spades. Amusingly, [[PlayerCharacter the Inquisitor]] who romances him has almost the same level of adorkability - a rare thing for a Creator/BioWare protagonist.

** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' has, believe it or not, [[LadyOfWar Cassandra]]. Once the player grows closer to her, either as friends or a LoveInterest, she lets her tough exterior down and reveals an idealistic romantic underneath. This becomes especially apparent when it's revealed that she's a huge fan of Varric's books, and particularly his smutty romance serials, which he considers to be his worst work.

She'll even ask you to get Varric to write another because the last one ended on a cliffhanger, and he'll do it just because he finds the whole thing hilarious.

*** Cullen Rutherford, during the mage origin. He has a ''very'' obvious crush on a female Amell/Surana, and a conversation with him will involve him nervously fumbling and outright ''running away'' in embarrassment if she flirts with him. Then the Circle gets invaded by demons... and let's just say this changes.
