I could live with boring.

I just don't talk to them.



Annoying, I can not.

I can't stand her!

*is arranging fatal accident on suicide mission for SZ*



But Ashley was never annoying to me.

I love her!

The no-nonsense attitude and sense of humor are what I like best.



Kaiden on the other hand, I felt nothing, one way or the other.

I selected him for death when offered the choice.

Annoying > Boring.



You actually care about annoying characters, like why won't they STFU! As opposed to boring characters who could die, and you'd be like, who died? Oh that guy. Yeah lets go, and you, STFU!

A red shirt who i dont care if they die... or a pain in the ass who i would cause them to die... tough choices...

At least an annoying character makes you feel... something.

It really depends in what context on why or how they're boring or annoying.  I didn't find any characters boring or annoying.  Jacob was the straight-guy, and the most relateable to the Shepard persona.  All the characters were nicely personified with their own interests and motivations (save Shepard.)  I for one never "got" Jack, but she wasn't boring or annoying.

Now Harbinger was annoying.  He wasn't really a character, just a re-possessing voice spouting ridiculous one liners.  He was stupid annoying.  Any kind of annoying which is bad writing or personifies something negative one obviously wouldn't like, even for an enemy.  (Although in hindsight, I did want to kill him more because of that.  So in that case, stupid annoying was a good thing.)  Enemies, or an antagonist, have to be the most personified and fleshed out, perhaps moreso than the protagonist.

One thing we can say with BioWare: they can write characters well.  And I know we won't have a character like Chu-Chu from Xenogears joining the squad, so I don't think we'll have the problem of boring or annoying characters.

The character I did have an objection over was Dr. Chakwas.  She was a completely useless and flat character in ME1, and suddenly she's...a bit fleshed out and still useless.

Harbinger was a character or did you not pay attention to the game?

Please explain to me how Harbinger was a character.

Charlie from Charlie's Angels is a character, despite being nothing more than a voice in a box. Just because you never see a face and it talks through the Collectors doesnt it not a character. Maybe not a good character but still a character.

This is true.  They are within the narrative no matter in what form.  But what if they never had a name?  Would they still be a character?

Annoying, because characters like Imoen, Mission and Tali who I find annoying at first end up growing on me. Boring has no personality to annoy you with, and nothing to like.

Boring, but being boring can be fun.

I prefer boring. But I must say that the only really annoying person on the Normandy was Jack.



Ah and since it fits the thread title I'd like to make some shameless self promotion and post the link to the Jacob poll which contains the boring vs annoying issue.
