Sir Swears-a-Lot in Video Games.

---

• Your dialogue of 77p egg: Eggwife, of which 70% consists of "fuck", "shit", "bitch", "ass" for no reason. It's proudly promoted by it's developers as the crudest, most vulgar FPS in existence, after all.
• Red from Alter A.I.L.A. is a very aggressive Scary Black Man who uses swear words as interpunction and is no stranger to obscene language in general (like threatening a character with blowing a hole in their head and using it as a toilet afterwards). His incarnation in the remake, however, is a lot more tame, but the guy in question is still a dangerous one nevertheless. Yellow is also this to lesser extent, uttering an occasional F-word here and there, rather than going full Cluster F-Bomb all the time.
• Enzo in Bayonetta swears even when it doesn't make sense to swear. He easily outswears the rest of the cast despite having the least screentime and the fact that the game does not shy away from F-bombs. Bayonetta generally stays classy and limits her F-bombs to certain scenes, though in the sequel she loves saying "Flock off!" a lot. Meanwhile, the other playable character, Jeanne, is very reserved in cutscenes but spews out "motherfucker" in gameplay like nobody's business.
• While the splicers from BioShock say a fair amount of curses, the Brute splicer from BioShock 2 takes the cake as the most foul-mouthed, using almost every swear word known to man right up to Country Matters (although he's British, the word isn't as offensive where he comes from as it is in North America).
• BlazBlue:
  • Ragna the Bloodedge and Kokonoe both tend to drop Cluster S.o.B. Bombs.
    Ragna: Take this, you son of a bitch!
    Kokonoe: You son of a bitch! Do you know how hard it was to find you?!
  • Kokonoe takes her language much further than that, often getting creatively censored as a result. Let's try this dialogue from Rachel's gag reel in Continuum Shift:
    Noel: Ms. Kokonoe. What were you going to do to Mr. Ragna the Bloodedge after you put him to sleep?
    Kokonoe: Well, no reason not to tell you. First I intended to take his ^XXX  (Inferno Divider!) and put it in a ^XXX  (Carnage Scissors!). Maybe a little ^XXX  (Gauntlet Hades!) too? My goodness, I can only imagine what his ^XXX  (Hell's Fang!) will ^XXX  (Dead Spike!)!
    Noel: Wh-wh-WHAT?! How could you stoop so low? That's totally unfair!
    Kokonoe: Like I care. Keep dreaming, kid. I'm gonna make Ragna mine!
  • Hazama is pretty bad for this as well.
    "OK, what makes you think I give two shits about a vampire tea-party?"
• Garlot and Leon in Blaze Union, both of whom have awful tempers. After the Time Skip in route A, Garlot's new speech patterns as Gulcasa have him swearing a bit less and becoming more eloquent—probably due to coaching by Nessiah.
• Mister Torgue in Borderlands 2, to such a hilarious extent that his company's shareholders installed a censorship device into his vocal cords to bleep out his cursing.
  • Gaige from the same game, whose first voice line in the game files is an emphatic "BITCH ASSSSS!"
• In BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm, swearing isn’t terribly uncommon for most of the cast, but Anonymous is by far the most likely to drop casual F-bombs in conversation, usually at a rate of one or two per scene.
• Bulletstorm wasn't called "Captain Swearword's Big Fuckin' Adventure" by RockPaperShotgun for nothing, but even protagonist Grayson (i.e. the "Captain Swearword" to which RPS is referring) is taken aback by the walking, talking swear factory that is General Sarrano.
• A lot of characters in Conker's Bad Fur Day have a tendency to swear, but the most notable example is the ill-tempered cog Carl.
  Carl: Twatting shite! That's tossed it right up the arse!

• Dankira!!! -Boys, be DANCING!-: Noel Gekkōin, a half-English boy, says "bloody hell" a lot.
• Compared to the rest of the cast of Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy, Prishe drops mild swears much more often. Most notable are her quote for being called in as an assist character "It's about damn time!" and having "Aw hell!" instead of a death scream.
• Dylan in Duke Nukem Forever swears in virtually every sentence, and quite often more than once per sentence. Becomes hilarious in the DLC when he shrinks and continues swearing with the voice of a chipmunk.
• Mayor MacCready from Fallout 3. He is notable for swearing more than any other character in the game, especially when it comes to dropping F-bombs (which is rare for the M-rated Fallout series). It's more jarring when you first meet him, considering how he's only twelve years old himself. His favorite words seem to be Shit, Fuck, and Bastard. Subverted in Fallout 4, where the now-adult MacCready is a father and thus has started to censor himself.
  • Little RJ has nothing on Cass from Fallout: New Vegas. MacCready says "fuck" 13 times in his dialogue options, Cass says it 43 times. MacCready uses "shit" 13 times, Cass says it 28 times. It says something when a 37-year-old woman swears more than a 12-year-old boy.
  • Boxcars. He's a Powder Ganger you find in the Nipton general store, and he drops the F-bomb like it's no one's goddamn business. Only Cass from the same game beats him in terms of sheer vulgarity. At least he has the excuse of having two broken legs and being in a substantial amount of pain, providing at least some justification for his swearing.
• In Far Cry 3, the Ax-Crazy Vaas Montenegro is probably the most foul-mouthed character in the whole game, as he shouts lots of Cluster F-Bombs.
• Cid and Barret in Final Fantasy VII:
  Cid: "Shut up! Sit your ass down in that chair, and drink your goddamn tea!"
• The in-game profile for Sully from Fire Emblem: Awakening describes her mouth as one that would make sailors blush. Granted, this is a T-rated game, so she's mild compared to most examples.
• Foxy in Five Nights at Fuckboy's never says anything without dropping an F-Bomb somewhere.
  Phantom Foxy: GET FUCKING FUCKED YOU MOTHERFUCKING MOTHERFUCKER
• Another FNAF fangame, Fredbear and Friends, has the main character, Thomas, swear like a sailor pretty much from the moment he realizes he's all alone against a band of killer animatronics.
• God of War (PS4): Brok drops more swearing than anyone else in the game combined, befitting his extremely uncouth nature and occupation. And he drops them in both English and Old Norse.
• Gwent: The Witcher Card Game:
  • Averted due to the game having a Teen rating. Notably crass characters like Thaler and Zoltan's parrot, Field Marshal Duda, aren't allowed to swear every other breath.
  • Vesimir is still too old for this shit, however.
• In A Hat in Time, DJ Grooves mentions that the word "Peck" is considered a swear word among birds. His rival, The Conductor, basically throws it around like it's nothing (usually referring to people as "Peck neck"). Hat Kid potentially can do this if you use the "PECK!" emote in online play.
• Detective Isaac Washington from The House of the Dead: OVERKILL. Considering he's the primary contributor to the game's 189 F-bombs on a normal playthrough, enough for a Guinness World Record, the game certainly earns its title. His first line of dialogue and Establishing Character Moment is "Whassup, motherfucker!"
• Vace in I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is the most foul-mouthed among the dateable characters, often telling people to "sod off" and swearing a lot in his conversations with you.
• Jagged Alliance: Being hardened and combat trained, (Well, most of them...) most mercenaries aren't particularly concerned with swearing, but several characters stand out even among the cast for swearing notably more often.
  • Willy 'Weasel' Augustin liberally peppers his speech with "Goddamn," which only adds to his general unpleasantness.
  • Norma 'Meltdown' Jessop, along with being an Axe-Crazy Blood Knight who loves killing and revels in combat, also swears quite a bit, making it clear to everyone in earshot that she's no lady.
• Knytt Underground is, for the most part an innocent platformer with beautiful atmospheric worlds. It would easily be rated E for Everyone... if it weren't for the character of Cilia, whose tongue is so foul that she singlehandedly bumps the game's rating all the way up to M for Mature.
• Ellie from The Last of Us is an incredibly foul-mouthed little girl who swears more than most of the adult characters (Bill being one of the few who can hold a candle) and provides one of the biggest aversions of Children Are Innocent in gaming. Observe.
• Left 4 Dead:
  • The series takes full advantage of being Rated M, and drops more S bombs than you can shake a stick at. However, of all the characters, Coach and Francis stand out. Just try going a full sixty seconds without hearing them swear, it will fail.
  • Lampshaded by Nick regarding Ellis.
    Nick: He's like a five-year-old with guns. And a comprehensive grasp of every swear word in the English Language.
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel: Crow Armbrust. He doesn't swear that much, but he's the only character that actually uses profanity, at least in the English-language localization anyway.
• Zed the Punk Rock Zombie, the first boss in Lollipop Chainsaw. He attacks you by yelling swear words that become physical and come flying at you, and he also yells crude insults like "I'M GONNA RIP OPEN YOUR CHEST AND SHIT IN YOUR RIBCAGE!", "I THINK YOU PISSED YO' PAAAAAANTS!", and "YOU THINK THAT HURT ME? I JUST JIZZED A LITTLE!"
• Jack from Mass Effect 2. In Mass Effect 3, she has to continually cut her curses short whenever her students are listening. She does get the chance to cut loose on Joker at the end, though we cut to the next scene before it gets a chance to get going. By the Citadel DLC, without any students around, she's back in form.
• Everyone in Metal Arms: Glitch in the System curses at least a bit, but Krunk, the short, squat, peg-legged Droid mechanic, is constantly being bleeped out. Even the name of the level where you play him, F&!?ing Krunked, has to be censored out.
• Metal Gear:
  • The Fury from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is an angry, angry man. His rage-induced vulgarity stands out since the other members of the Cobra Unit are not nearly as coarse. For instance, if you attempt to damage his protective suit, you'll certainly know if you succeed, because he'll take a moment to yell "Son of a BITCH!" loud enough to be heard anywhere in his Boss Room, even over the roaring fires caused by his flamethrower and jetpack.
  • The series is usually conservative when it comes to swear words, but Senator Steven Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes the cake as the most foul-mouthed character in the entire franchise. He has a Badass Boast sporting five consecutive sentences starting with an F-bomb!
• Cassie from Mortal Kombat X; her dialogue has more use of the F-word in one game than every other character in the entire franchise. While she is in the army, it's still a lot for a game that has never seemed overly fond of cussing before.
• Kumatora in Mother 3, being the tomboy that she is. Lighter as well, to a lesser extent.
• In Myst IV: Revelation, Achenar's first journal in the Prison Age of Haven details his mental breakdown. While the only vulgar words among these are "Hell" and "Bloody", the game was still given a "T" rating. For bonus points, Yeesha's amulet allows us to hear Achenar narrate this journal.
• In Neptunia, out of the four goddesses of Gamindustri, Blanc/White Heart is the one that drops the highest amount of S-bombs (while she has no problems saying "damn", "shit", "hell", "bastard", and "bitch", she is yet to drop any F-bombs, apart from one instance of "[Words banned on Nepstation]" in Megadimension Neptunia VII). It's basically one of her defining character traits, and the citizens of her nation are so used to it, they feel she would not be her if she would start dropping her foul mouth, as seen in Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth1 when an impostor of her instead speaks in Gosh Dang It to Heck! language and is immediately outed as the fake (in the Japanese version, the fake instead failed to replicate angry Blanc's guttural voice, and instead spoke in Dull Surprise). As a sample, a few lines she says during the first game's intro sequence:
  White Heart: I won't let any of you selfish, icy bitches take the title of True Goddess!
  White Heart: [having received a derisive comment from Green Heart about her flat chest] The hell's that? Listen to that crap, talkin' out yer ass! I'll kill you! DIE!
• Kainé from NieR. The very first thing you hear when booting up the game is her delivering a truly splendid Cluster F-Bomb to Weiss.
  Kainé: Weiss, you dumbass! Start making sense, you rotten book, or you're gonna be sorry! Maybe I'll rip your pages out, one-by-one! Or maybe I'll put you in the goddamn furnace! How can someone with such a big, smart brain get hypnotized like a little bitch?! Huh? "Oh, Shadowlord! I love you, Shadowlord! Come over here and give Weiss a big sloppy kiss, Shadowlord!" Now PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN ASS AND START FUCKING HELPING US!
• Ni no Kuni:
  • Swaine, which is especially notable as the rest of the game is otherwise fairly innocent and kid-friendly. Of course, the worst he ever says is "Dammit," but it's still somewhat surprising.
  • Drippy uses family-friendly language, but in a way rather evocative of this trope: "Flipping heck, mun! Use youer flipping head and flipping think, ye barmy lad!" ]
• No More Heroes: over the course of both games, Travis;
  • Says "Fuck" 32.5 times. ^note He cuts himself off in one instance.
  • Says "Shit" 19 times.
  • Says "Hell" 18 times.
  • Says "Damn" 13 times.
  • Says "Bitch" 9 times.
  • Says "Ass" 8 times.
  • Says "Bastard" 2 times.
  • Additionally, every single time you kill an enemy, there's a chance Travis shouts out "Fuckhead". Given this is a hack and slash game, chances are, you're gonna hear that at least a hundred times.
• OFF has Dedan, the first boss. Most of what he says when seen in Zone 1 either has some swear or insult thrown in, and he's shown cursing at one of his employees. When seen in the Room, he's a lot kinder and doesn't drop a single swear. Likely because this might have been a flashback where he was speaking in front of a young boy. Version 3.0 of the English translation tones it down quite a bit, though.
• Persona:
  • Kanji in Persona 4. Although he eventually gets over it after Character Development turns him from Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Good.
    "I'm gonna renovate your ass!"
  • Persona 5's Ryuji Sakamoto does this so much that the game first calls him "Vulgar Boy" before you learn his name. Have a complimentary compilation of his swearing (Spoiler Warning!).^note In case you didn't feel like watching it, he cusses a total of 315 times in his voiced dialogue alone. That's not even taking into account unvoiced dialogue, text messages, or his new lines in Royal.
    • In the same game along with Royal, also have Goro Akechi after he drops his Detective Prince's facade. He starts cursing up a storm and especially after making himself go psychotic, both in his boss fight and in the third semester.
• Gryz in Phantasy Star IV does this by being the only person to swear in the entire game.
• In Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire, pirate Serafen talks like a pirate and swears like a sailor. Most of the pirates of the Principi, save the Vailian-influenced old guard, are foul-mouthed, but Serafen is a companion with a dirty (and often poetic) quip ready for many of the Watcher's adventures.
• Police Quest 4: Open Season is best known for the profanity used in this game. For example, the character Hal Bottoms will use the word "Goddamn" and "Bitch". Also, Dennis Walker will use the word "Fuck" and "Shit" if you touch his stuff or show him items from your inventory.
• Dana Mercer from [PROTOTYPE], notable not for swearing the most out of all the cast (which includes her salty-mouthed and hot-tempered brother and several dozen soldiers, who swear like, well, soldiers), but for swearing so much and so colorfully that the Blackwatch trooper in the middle of kidnapping her was taken aback. Her favorite appears to be the f-bomb and its variants.
• James Heller, the protagonist of [PROTOTYPE 2], is practically a swear factory that spouts them as often and easily as breathing, rarely going a scene without spouting "fuck", "shit", or "bitch" for some reason, usually frustration at people toying with him.
• In Raven's Cry, there used to be a guy on your boat that would repeatedly shout variations of the phrase "Be brave, (insert vulgarity here)!" at your crewmates, with the phrases ranging from "horse's asses" to "son of a bitches". He was later patched out of the game and replaced with someone much less profane.
• The Resident Evil series was usually conservative about swearing, but they started turning the recent games into a cuss pile whose swear counts rival the number of bioweapons, even the remakes. Here are some of them:
  • Resident Evil: Revelations 2: Depending on who you believe, Moira Burton either swears more than any other character in the entire series or more than every other character put together.
  • Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has more F-words than the rest of the series, but the protagonist, Ethan Winters, is probably the most guilty.
  • Resident Evil 2 (Remake) turns Claire into a foul-mouthed little cuss.
• Richard "Demo Dick" Marcinko from Rogue Warrior over-uses swear words to a hilarious degree. During gameplay, he rarely opens his mouth without spewing a series of random curses. Marcinko is based on real-life Spec Ops soldier Dick Marcinko, and by all accounts, the real Marcinko actually has worse language than his video-game counterpart.
• Aisha from Rumble Roses swears most of the other playable characters.
• Senran Kagura has Ryōbi who is the undisputed queen of potty-mouths. Some recurring lines include: "Fuck this shit.", "You’re on my shitlist!", "Fuck you!"
• Shadow the Hedgehog was the first Sonic the Hedgehog-franchise character to swear, most notably in his self-titled Gaiden Game where he swears repeatedly in cut-scenes and a half of the time he gets hit. Although he only said the words "damn" and "hell".
• Soul Nomad & the World Eaters:
  • Gig, who throws around liberal amounts of 'shit' and 'hell' in a T-rated game. This turned into a Running Gag in the Let's Play Archive's record of the game, with the author keeping a tally of his swears.
    "Yeah, I said "shit" 33 times. Got a problem with it, numbnuts?"
  • During his cameo in Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days, this is lampshaded by Rozalin telling Adell to do something about him before Gig's mouth ups the game's rating.
• Pearl from Splatoon 2 is heavily implied to be this. She even has a song called "#$@%* Dudes Be #$@%* Sleepin", which outright has Sound-Effect Bleep in it. Pearl mentions the song couldn't be played on radio stations (other translations have her instead saying that the song needed to be censored more before it was put on radio).
• Undyne in Undertale, although in keeping with the game's family-friendly nature, it's only PG-level expletives. In a game where most characters don't swear at all, one who does so even infrequently is bound to stick out.
  • Susie from Deltarune, on the other hand, freely throws around 'ass' and 'damn', but not much more vulgar than that. Spamton from Chapter 2 does try to get more vulgar on top of the "TAKE A GODDAMN VACATION STRAIGHT TO HELL"-level swears, but his Electronic Speech Impediment keeps replacing it with Symbol Swearing and [[Hyperlink Blocked]].
• From Season 3 onward of The Walking Dead (Telltale), Clementine begins to curse frequently, throwing around expletives whenever she says anything in anger.
• The Witcher: Thaler has a mouth about a magnitude fouler than that of any other character in the game. That says quite a lot, as pretty much everyone swears regularly and he still manages to stick out.
• The Wolf Among Us: Toad wins the prize, cursing constantly, even to his young son.

• Nia in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. As demonstrated by this compilation, she swears twice as much as the runner-ups, Malos and... Rex of all the characters.
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has three contenders: Lanz, who swears the most overall, Eunie, who tends to swear more casually and in more memorable fashion, and Ghondor, who has the highest profanity-to-screentime ratio and favors real world language over the in-universe profanity that the rest of the cast often uses.
