Best antagonists - an IFDB Poll
by OverThinking
RSS FeedIF has a tradition of pitting the player against the environment or their circumstances. I'm looking for something a little more personal. Give me your moustache-twirling, card-carrying villains. Give me your apathetic, inflexible bureaucrats. Give me your misguided idealists, your sympathetic monsters. Give me some good antagonists.
