Who is the worst adventure game hero and why is it the king of bland Sonny Bonds.

Hey now! REAL Sonny is a man's man. A bonafide genuine HERO.

Mike Dawson, pure loser. Makes Guybrush Threepwood look like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Well you didn't specify what you meant by worst, now didya? The actual worst is none of the above, it's some obscure protagonist from a shitty euro point & click barely anyone has played.
As far as popular stuff I think Prince Alexander (KQ6) is a charisma void. He's like a medicated Wesley Crusher.

CGA or VGA it doesn't matter , Sonny Bonds is a boring knob.
>>8132860
I like Mike in DS2 because he's a weirdo with PTSD after an alien literally fucked his head, Mike in DS1 though is almost as boring Sonny.

Came here to say this. Both as a character and because of the fucking gall that the game dev had to put his ugly, uncharismatic self into a game where they managed to secure the rights to using Giger's artwork.

Giger's artwork is really the only thing Dark Seed had going for it IMO, it's not a good point and click adventure.

it really is garbage but then again the entire genre is, i want to know what people think the peak of this genre is because i've played quite a few point and click games and they're all formulaic, nonsensical and overall shit

>instead of Halligan stabbing himself in an act of heroic sacrifice, he stabs his gf instead

It's like a perfect climax to an entire game's worth of incompetence and selfish dickery.

I get the impression that Halligan is written like an autistic idiot on purpose, because that's the only sensible reason I can imagine.

German adventure games tend to have really dick-ish heroes both the comedic and serious ones so it's hard to say, I will say the English voice acting is really good in Druids.

Second Police quest Sonny was pretty badass. He shot arabs in the mouth.

Monkey Island 1/2.

Then it's very likely nothing in the genre is ever going to meet your standards.

Broken Sword and Sam and Max Hit the Road are fucking phenomenal games. I don't even like the genre but those are brilliant times.

I like the corniness and small scale on police quest 2. It was written by a real cop. Hate on sonny from the sequel, when he just becomes a miami vice rip off
