If you could remove a character from a video game, who would it be?

Ever played a game and there's just a single, or couple of characters you don't like. But you enjoy the rest of the game. If you could, who would you remove?

For me, might not surprise some people, because I don't exactly like the game. But Kairi, Namine, and Xion from Kingdom Hearts. Sorry if you like them, but I don't. Esspecially Xion and Namine.

What about you?

Off the top of my head, probably Albedo in Genshin Impact. There's probably a better candidate out there, but he's the first that comes to mind. Mainly because his personality (or lack thereof) is just all about science and is the same reason why I don't like some anime that follow that trend such as Steins;Gate or Dr. Stone.

PJ Berri is a silly guy and he makes me laugh, but he doesn't really do much in PaRappa 1, so I wouldn't mind him not being in that game. (I wouldn't remove him from PaRappa 2 though, because he contributes more to the story.)

There aren’t a lot of games that I can think where I’d feel this way. If I do, I think the problem might be more the writing than the actual character. Making improvements than removing the character altogether would be what I’d prefer. But if that wasn’t an option, I think maybe Traveler and Paimon from Genshin. I know the story revolves around them, but the story without them would honestly still be good in my opinion. Their backgrounds do interest me a little like Traveler being a

, but tbh, I’m more interested in other characters than her and Paimon. If they were written differently, like both not given the special treatment, also not being so rude a lot of times, I’d like them more. I think in this case, editing them and their role would be better though than removing them completely. The whole thing of traveler finding their sibling honestly doesn’t interest me too much.

Some of the characters that aren’t part of the main story like Noelle, Bennett, I’d remove just because they both annoy me (doing their hangouts was a mistake).

I would definitely remove the uneeded Peach clones or unwanted new baby alts like baby Rosalina from Mario Kart or convert the Cat Peach into alt. Costumes (still definitely remove Pink-Gold Peach and Peachette though) and replace the slots with the kongs or just different characters from the Mario or DK series like Dixie Kong, King K. Rool, Baby DK (I admit, he's the most unique baby character in the entire series), Monty Mole, E. Gadd, and Tiny Kong (since she appears in Diddy Kong racing DS).

As for other games I played (or used to play) like Genshin, I would remove Paimon completely from the game and completely rewrite the traveler to interact with the world more. Maybe rewrite some characters to have some sort of animosity towards the traveler.

Or most rivals in Pokemon series, some of them deserved a rewrite or have extra side characters cut from the main part of the game.

Literally screw the bowser characters like Wendy, Roy, Iggy... Who even likes them? They eat up so many roster spots and for what? I don't know anyone who mains them. Delete them please.
