...wrex?
all 4 characters in bastion? particularly rucks or zia.
Dead? You thought wrong
Too many to name from Dragon Age and Oblivion and I like Captain Qwark, Ratchet and Clank.
Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
So, you got tired of your Gamefaqs NGG topic and decide to switch over here?

Blegh, I usually find non Japanese VG characters to be the same run around with tons of guns and being a broody badass type, but I like characters that only show half of those traits, namely Ratchet and Issac from the Binding of Issac.

Well, It wasn't getting any more posts, and it was going be archived later. I can't bump it twice.
Besides, I like to hear from other boards.
Yep, I'm still here.

Every Bio Ware party member. Or most. Bio Ware are really good with supporting characters. Also, Saren, Loghain
And all the companions in New Vegas. They all have interesting backatories and great quests associated with them.

Non-Eastern videogame characters? Oh my. Prepare for a long list.
Kain. Raziel. Guybrush Threepwood. Gordon Freeman. Alyx Vance. Eli Vance. Minsc. (& BOO) Imoen. Jon Irenicus. Okku. Gann-of-Dreams. HK-47. Morte. Annah. Fall-From-Grace. Nordom. Dak'kon. Jade (BG&E). Sam and Max. Kyle Katarn. The Team Fortress 2 crew. Virgil (Arcanum). Kerghan. Micheal Thorton. Sis. Albatross. Steven Heck. ED-E. Veronica Santagelo. Christine Royce. Dr. Mobius. The Sink AI Personalities. The Hiigarans. Jim Raynor. Kane (C&C). Andrew Ryan. Dr. Tennenbaum. SHODAN. The X-COM grunts.
And this is just a partial list. Really, I like more Western game characters than Eastern, because Eastern ones inevitably have some anime-inspired personality defect that makes me want a fire axe.
EDIT: And excuse me, I forgot DEEKIN.

Eastern characters are allowed, as long as it's not from Japan.
Or have anybody hear of any Korean, Chinese, or Russian Titles?

Yep, I'm still here.
In that case, I'm afraid my answer is the same as Vorpy.
That's not to say that I dislike Western-made characters. It is just that on my list of favourite characters, Japanese games are very over-represented. So when asked this question I become really hard pressed to find a character I like enough to say is my favourite.
So yeah. Maybe the Sniper, if I've got to pick someone.

I'm not sure what you guys mean. I haven't played a Japanese game in about a year now, and I own a Playstation 3.
Roger Wilco and Guybrush Threepwood.
...
Without a doubt, I'll say JC Denton.

Science!
Cryptosporidium-138. For a tiny, genocidal alien sex pest, he's surprisingly easy to relate to.
I for one am particularly fond of the entire cast of the Banjo-Kazooie series. Especially Kazooie, who takes a lot of flak and gives it all right back.
Oh My
Thrall. Or if I can pick random units instead...dwarven mortar teams.

There are probably some users here that like the things about Western Video Game characters(or games) that you find better than(or just dislike) Japanese characters(or games).
I just do. There is no correlation, motive or influence.

Dreams of Revenge
I forgot to mention him before, but Kyle Katarn is another wonderful character. He doesn't fall under the brooding archetype that one of the posters above mentioned, and he manages to be both witty and badass at the same time.

Adding Arcturus Mengsk, who always struck me as such an effective villain.

The former. I don't even recall any western/eastern made characters of Japanese Blood other than Scorpion.
Now, I'm adding The Scout(Team Fortress 2), Sonic Boom(Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure), and Cerebella(Skullgirls) to my list of favorites
I mean, really, an adult actrobatic with demonic arms on her head is less ridiculous than an 11-year-old scientist with an animated blob(Kira from Arcana Heart).
And why is that? Why? have you ever play a VG NOT from Nippon? Or ONLY Japanese-made characters interest you? And if it's the latter, then what do they have that NON-Japanese-Made characters don't?
