For Your Consideration - XYZZY-eligible NPCs of 2013 - an IFDB Poll

by Sam Kabo Ashwell
RSS Feed

This poll is a place to suggest non-player characters from games released in 2013, who you think might be worth considering for Best Individual NPC in the XYZZY Awards. Leave the name (or namelessness) of the NPC (or NPCs) in the comment on your vote.

This is not a zeroth-round nomination. The category will still be text-entry, and games not mentioned here will remain eligible. The point of poll is partly to suggest games that others might want to check out, partly as your own reminder for when XYZZY season comes around.

This isn't intended as a straw poll; please don't upvote games already on the list, unless you want to add another name in comments. And mention every NPC that you think deserves consideration, not just your one favourite.
