Vagabond, Wing Commander III.

 

HK 47 from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I don't think anyone can compete with him

Lucifron
Magmadar
Gehennas
Baron Geddon
Garr
Shazzrah
Golemagg The Incinerator
Sulfuron Harbinger

I suppose it depends on how you define "Greatness". Cos I have no idea really.

 

Guybrush Threepwood. End of thread.

 

-The Doom guy
-Setzer (FF6)
-Zero (Mega Man series)

[EDIT: Not end of thread ]

 

Cloud
Barret
Duke Nuke 'Em
The guys from Tenchu (just like em)
R108-R110
Sonic
Dante
And a lot more .

 

All Planescape: Torments characters were great but Dak'kon was probably the greatest...

The way the story unwound in Myth 2 created some pretty cool characters too, but you never controlled them directly, they just were there somewhere... and I don't remember their names either , Garret perhaps? but I think that's Thiefs main character, no matter - great storytelling...

I like Blizzards stories and characters too, they have no problem twisting stories and killing main characters or making them turn evil... "No not Uther!!! he's a hero from the prequel!!"...or Arthas, it's not great but it's still better than some rpgs like the OC in NWN. These things can be enough, I thought WC3:s gameplay lacked but I still played the entire singleplayer-campaign just to follow the story through.

 

I say no more!

"Oh yea, well you fight like a cow!"

 

Minsc (and his giant space hamster Boo) from Baldur's gate series

"Butt kicking for goodness!"

 

- Max Payne & other characters (I liked more those characters from first payne)
- Gordon Freeman
- Barney
- Evil doctor from Doom III (he's just vicious!)

 

All of the Playable charecters from Maniac Mansion. Razor, David, Bernard, Michael, etc.

That is such a great game, each of the charecter combinations give you different endings.

 

Maniac Mansion reminds me Sam & Max! How I could forget those unforgettable characters I just love that couple

 

Morte from Planescape: Torment
Smiling Jack from Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
HK-47 from KOTOR series
Sephiroth from FF7
Nemesis from Resident Evil 3

 

Easily: Link (young/old)

Runner-ups:
Cloud
Sephiroth
FF9 characters
Tyrion, Defender of Ulthuan (Warhammer)
Teclis (Warhammer)
Vivec (Morrowind)
Dagoth Ur (Morrowind, and i'm not a sleeper )
Nerevarine (Morrowind)
Samus Aran...

And the list goes on. I have more, but, meh.

 

Solid Snake most definately

Honorable mention: Kratos (from God of War)

 

HK-47
Auron
Zidane

 

Nobody mentioned Master Chief yet? That's a surprise.
