If you had to be one Sierra character...

Post by Tawmis » Sun Apr 01, 2012 7:45 pm

... from the "typical" Sierra classics - which character would you be? Having to endure all the good and bad the character endured throughout the game(s)?

For example, you may love LAURA BOW games - but would you WANT to be Laura Bow, having endured having all those murders happen around you? That type of thing. So... let's hear it!

Main character or any character?

Ideally, I was thinking MAIN character.

But let's hear both, if you have'em. Just a little fun thing to see who people would pick - and see what people say about the character(s) picked!

Roger Wilco. His dumb luck is absolutely amazing. Then again, King Graham is incredibly buff for his age and has some amazing adventures. But I love technology. Having the Aluminum Mallard to kick around in would be ACE.

Would you want to be Larry, Tawmis? :)

From the main characters, I wouldn't mind being Jerrod Wilson, just for experiencing such an adventure, traveling all those routes through and around America

As Collector pointed out - me and Larry have way too much in common. Why be Larry Laffer, when that WAS essentially my life, until I fooled (forced!) Amiee to marry me? :lol:

MI mentioned Roger Wilco - who had some awesome stuff - but man, to have his son (from the future) warn him, then zip away ... Roger endured some pretty crazy stuff. And King Graham, well, his son was abducted for who knows how many years, before being found again. As you said, Jerrod would be pretty cool - because he had a great adventure, not too much happened (that we know of) before or after - and in the end, he did strike gold.

Aside from being a woman (not that I have anything against women - *over-compensating rant about how I loooove women!* :P), I've always thought Grace Nakimura has "got it going on". I mean, her job seems to be just studying about all these interesting phenomena, and she's good at it, and she's highly intelligent, travels (and lives) all around the world (but doesn't have to really do all the deadly work like Gabe :P)...

But she has to put up with him EVERY day! :D

I'm tempted to go with Roger Wilco, provided that he doesn't have to undergo all those horrific deaths & subsequent resurrections :lol:

Well, Larry had his share of death scenes and resurrections, too.

Stick-in-the-Mud. Then I could just lounge around all day yelling at people and throwing mud at them - which really isn't that different from time spent on the internet.
