*shudder*
But for a more... fleshy antagonist?
Galcion from Skies of Arcadia.
And I'll say it... Makarov. I didn't think he was a great villain, but I definitely enjoyed that last level, and finally getting to kill that guy.
Oh definitely SHODAN. I would have given her a mention, but I haven't had a chance to play system shock yet. Was I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream a game? I know it was a book (sadly, I haven't had the chance to read that one either).

Galcian from Skies of Arcadia and Irenicus from Baldurs Gate 2 get my votes.

Aw damn, I forgot about him! That guy is pretty sweet too.
The problem with Bob Page I found is that they revealed him as the baddy too soon (like, in the beginning of the game). If they kept it hidden in to the very end, then it would have had a greater impact imo.

Your saying you didn't enjoy beating the out of that old moron with the name that they couldn't pronounce properly? (no offence if anyone does say it KY-ZAR )

Kai-Sar is the proper latin way of pronouncing it. And yes, I did throughly enjoy kicking his arrogant, self-righteous ass. Still doesn't make him a decent villain. It does, however, make him an exemplary punching bag.

Wow! Really!? Us arrogant english and our pronunciation Cool fact man, I'll bear that in mind next time I play.
Yeh you do have a point, he was a crap fight and didn't really do anything evil. Supersledge loved the touch of his cheek though......
As for JRPG's I'm partial to Exdeath, Golbez, Kuja, Kefka, Sephiroth, and Emperor Mateus all from the Final Fantasy series.
Finally I think Albert Wesker and Saren should get honourable mentions.
Man those JRPG's put out a lot of memorable characters...then again I played them all when I was young and impressionable.

I'm going to have to say (haters be damned) diablo him self, he was by far an epic badass, easily out stripping his brothers in the "im going to use your spleen as tooth paste"-ness that only the lords of hell can accumulate!
Close second was pretty much every other Dungeon Keeper from the orignal game and Deeper Dungeons :3

There is no proper pronounciationg for latin, it's a dead language, no one knows the real pronounciation, we can only estimate that Italian is the closest to it. (IIRC)

corpsesarefun wrote:Actually we know exactly how latin words are pronounced, the language was used for a long time...
Indeed. The ae in caesar is pronounced with a dipthong, and is treated as one whole letter as an "ai" sound. Now, IIRC there are no soft-Cs in Latin (much like in Italian), meaning that the "cae" in caesar would have been pronounced as "Kai"
Yeah, I have a lot of nostalgia for it, and I wont play it again exactly for that. I know it wont be good.

All this talk of Caesar reminded me of one of my other favorite villains that I forgot, Legate Lanius the Monster of the East. Even though he was pathetic final boss, he did have some cool lines and even cooler armour.
Dead Language just means that its not a language used for human communication on a regular basis not that no one can speak it anymore. Latin has been spoken non-stop since the Roman Republic (ty Catholic Chuch I guess...)

my list
- Kane: Command and Conquer tiberian series
- Mafia 2: Henry the Rat (he fooled Vito and Joe until triads gutted him in front of the two, it is possible that he tricked Vito to do 'gas ration stamps' quest and he also had one gas station employee being an informer to Vito's 'crime', which why the FBI caught Vito and got him jailed... for 5 years or a bit more.)
