History DeadpanSnarker / Videogames

** The Master Chief himself, despite not speaking much:

'''Chief''': [[SarcasmMode That's a first.]]

*** The [[http://3dnpc.com/ Interesting NPCs]] GameMod brings Zora Fair-Child, who takes this trope and runs with it. Then throws it out the window. [[DropTheHammer Then smashes it to pieces with a two-handed hammer,]] [[RefugeInAudacity grinds it to dust, and throws it down the drain.]] Seriously, the mod is worth trying simply to go on adventuring with her.

* ''VideoGame/BodyBlows'': From this largely now forgotten fighting game series made for the UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}} series of computers and consoles by Creator/{{Team17}} is Mike. He is a Wall Street who is among a roster of fighters including street fighters, martial artists, robots, and aliens ([[FightingClown and still manages to fight on equal footing]] thanks to his inexplicable [[BlowYouAway wind powers]]) who frequently gives out [[BackhandedApology sarcastic apologies]] during battles. It was (and to some extent [[CultClassic today still is]]) part of the reason why he is EnsembleDarkhorse by the series' fan base.

** M'aiq the Liar is a recurring EasterEgg LegacyCharacter. M'aiq is a known a FourthWallObserver (and [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Leaner]] and ''[[BreakingTheFourthWall Breaker]]'') who [[AuthorAvatar voices the opinions]] of the series' creators and developers, largely in the form of {{Take That}}s, to both the [[TakeThatAudience audience]] (given the ''ES'' UnpleasableFanbase) and isn't above above [[SelfDeprecation taking some at Bethesda itself]]. Virtually all of this is delivered with deadpan sarcasm.

* In ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'', Franchise/SpiderMan ''EPITOMIZES'' this trope. 25% of his time is being useful, 75% is being an ass to Nick Fury.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'': Mythra. Though it is moreso in the ''Torna'' prequel, while she still has that personality in the main base game, she doesn't show it as often.

* ''VideoGame/{{Hangaroo}}': The kangaroo never fails to make snide comments if you pick a wrong letter (e.g. "Thanks a lot there, Einstein", or "Why do I always get stuck with the idiots?" and many more). If you beat the game, he'll commend you by saying "Well, maybe you're not as dumb as you look."

* Though Lucky of ''VideoGame/ChampionIslandGames'' is rather friendly, she has a sharp tongue that she occasionally breaks out, usually in response to some of the weirder locals. For example, when she retrieves a local's lucky arrow she snarks to herself about how it looks like every other arrow.
* Trilby in ''[[VideoGame/ChzoMythos 5 Days a Stranger]]'' definitely feels snarky... and can you blame him?

* Aschen Brodel from ''[[VideoGame/EndlessFrontier Super Robot Taisen: OG Saga: Endless Frontier]]'' is one of these... when she's not being a GenkiGirl due to the mental effects of her SuperMode.
** About 1/3 of the dialogue in the game is snarking, deadpan or otherwise.

** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3FutureRedeemed'': [[spoiler:Rex and Pyra’s daughter]], Glimmer, is quite snarky as well, seeming to take after [[spoiler:her Aunt, Mythra]].

->'''Pearl:''' Ugh... When are we going to land another big music-festival gig?
->'''Marina:''' Maybe when you stop demanding more money!

-->'''Grant''': I tried to find you in the phone book, but I couldn’t figure out how to spell your last name. I think I read the whole S section twice.\\
'''Helen''': Considering that it starts with T, that’s not surprising.
* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' has two resident snarkers: [[JerkAss Jin Kisaragi]] and [[ElegantGothicLolita Rachel Alucard]].

** AWACS Bandog is the forward air control unit for the Spare Squadron of the [[ArmyOfThievesAndWhores 444 Penal Unit]]. At worse, he regularly insults the squadron during missions, and snarks at them at best. Like how he [[NotSoAboveItAll was willing to take up High Rollers’s bets]], and asked the Spare Squadron to laugh at one of their member’s jokes about how some of them were killed during a mission.
** Dr. Shroeder, the scientist whose job is improving Erusea’s drone program. In one cutscene, he rats off Mihaly’s OverlyLongName like there was nothing special about it, [[spoiler:and in a later mission, when his drones start firing on Trigger and his fellow pilots after driving off aircraft from attacking his plane, and Count calls whoever created said drones the ‘King of all Dumbasses’, Schroeder responds that [[ImStandingRightHere ‘Maybe he meant to build something else entirely’]].]]
* Lin from ''[[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]''. Especially in the Tactics briefings, and especially towards Will. She's arguably that much more badass because of it, though.
** She's got it down to a science. Consider her response to a question from Dr. Morris, one of the few likable civilians in the game and possibly the one remaining person with a sense of humor.
--->'''Dr. Morris:''' Honestly! Where is your sense of humor?\\
'''Lin:''' It was shot off in the war. Very sad.

* Franchise/MassEffect
** [[PlayerCharacter Commander Shepard]]' has the option to take several of these in both games. In some cases, such as the "Shadow Broker" DLC, it happens automatically!

* The Stranger from Terminal Reality's ''Nocturne'' claims to have no sense of humor, but still manages to deliver some vicious one-liners to those around him, particularly when he is especially annoyed (i.e. much of the time).

* [[CombatMedic Eunie]] from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'', big time. With her [[FountainOfMemes constant, snarky remarks]] and fairly [[LadySwearsALot foul mouth]], she is easily the most popular character in the game, possibly even the series.

* ''VideoGame/TheMark'' has two playable protagonists, Steve and Austin, the latter being the bigger snarker. From asking mooks "You alright there?" after shooting them dead sarcastically quipping to Steve "You can be ''so'' bright sometimes" whenever Steve makes a CaptainObvious remark.

** Raven and Legault from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade the seventh game]] are also decent examples of snarkers, though Raven a bit more so. Hector's brother, Uther, also is also shown to be quite snarky when he appears.

** ''Videogame/FireEmblemFates'' has Setsuna.
*** After winning a fight, Setsuna will normally make a snarky one-liner
*** Oh. It's dead.
*** Victory! Victory!

*** Azama: Setsuna? Are you getting shorter?
*** Setsuna: Oh. I appear to be sinking into quicksand.
*** Azama: The world will remember your sacrifice.
