History TheEeyore / Videogames

* In ''VideoGame/StarControlII'' the Utwig, after losing the Ultron, their source of motivation, are an entire ''species'' of Eeyores, to the point that they ponder whether to commit mass suicide with a giant bomb, but decide not to because they deserve to suffer. They get better once you fix the thing. In the mythical third game, they go Eeyore again when they lose the Ultron; one of the few good ideas the game has is that when you return it to them, they become audibly happier.
** ...Even though they express emotion through Masks.
--->Ugh. I suppose, as a courtesy, I should extend an appropriate greeting. On behalf of the Utwig Proctors I truly hope, for your sake, that your day has been better than ours, although this really isn't saying that much.
* In ''VideoGame/WingCommander II'', Lieutenant Etienne "Doomsday" Montclair. Almost every comm message he ever sends you is about his impending death. ("I just bagged a Cat. I bet I'm going to die now.") Ironically, as of ''VideoGame/WingCommander Arena'' he's still alive, and still actively flying as per [[AllThereInTheManual the manual]], ''[=Star*Soldier=]''.
** Also played straight in the ''Literature/WingCommander'' ExpandedUniverse. Notably, he survives the entire war, including several campaigns that had single digit survival rates for everybody involved.

* Despite the fact that he's the [[BigBad main villain]] in the ''Mario Series'', Bowser sometimes makes a good example of this trope.

* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' not only has the original TropeNamer, but also has Naminé in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', though she is considerably happier in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''. Xion slipped into this in the later parts of 358/2 days

* The Waddle Dees from the Franchise/{{Kirby}} series.

* Fukawa from ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' is bitter, over-sensitive and generally unpleasant, and at one point the protagonist even describes her as emitting an aura of negativity. Eventually, she finally does find something to be happy about when she falls for Byakuya...who wants nothing to do with her, [[MadLove and most of her advances just wind up being very creepy.]] [[spoiler: By contrast, her SplitPersonality., Genocider Syo, is a lot more carefree.]]

* Gozu from ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior2'', like all of the Ancients, is an incredibly powerful immortal demon. He spends his days doting on his goddess Ameonna and moping on the front steps of the fortress doing absolutely nothing to help those below him. Lo Wang despises him for this.

* Nearly every non-player elf character in the add-on ''DungeonSiege 2: Broken World'' is morbidly depressed, especially Amren, who whines about the loss of his clairvoyant powers ''every time'' you talk to him, no matter what topic you wanted to discuss. Considering what [[CrapSackWorld crappy state]] the world is in due to the [[DownerEnding cataclysm after the end of the second game]], they may have a point, but it quickly gets annoying.

* The Crestfallen Warrior of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' is content to rest at Firelink Shrine and regale you with his pessimism.
** He eventually gets over it after you ring both Bells of Awakening, being inspired and trying to make something of himself. [[spoiler: He promptly goes Hollow in the ruins of New Londo.]]
