What are your favourite characters from all the Unreal series games? Choose only from official and semi-official characters though (BPs are good, but no mods).

Unreal:
Dante. Basically he's the only one that looks at least a bit better. His model looks the best from all of those available, and his skin make him look quite smart (as opposed to Carter and other MaleOnes :D ).

Unreal Tournament:
I don't have a favourite. Yet the ones I like are Malcom, Othello, Nali and WarCow. They are all cool in some places.

Unreal Tournament 2003:
Scarab. That's because I like the Egyptian theme a lot. I don't choose Hyena because his hat looks too stupid IMO, and Horus... Well, it's cool too, but Scarab is younger, so more similar to me :)
Although have to say that Brock and Malcolm are also very worthy as they have the best animations in the game IMO.

Unreal II:
Nothing to choose from in SP, but in multiplayer I like the Medium Marine and Skaarj skins. Mostly because they're both of the medium class, which I like very much, and because they aren't bulky like heavy, and have more shiny armour than the light counterparts. Plus they both have interesting history.

Unreal II XMP:
Ranger, because of it's eyes glowing in the dark, in the team colour. Although I like the Medium class better for gameplay reasons.

Unreal Tournament 2004:
Still Scarab. The Skaarj are OK, but they're a bit too skinny, and I like the Skaarj from Unreal II more.

Unreal Tournament 3:
Uhhm, I haven't played anything over the Demo, so probably my choice is the Demo Guy :D

Where least expected
So since in all the other tournaments it is always the default character that won in the SP story (Malcolm, Gorge, sidi in some comment that Jacob won in UT2004) does that make Demoguy the real victor of UT3?

The characters are one of the weakest elements of UT3, it's as though they were put in very late in development like an afterthought and they all seem real samey ,apart from the lumbering Krall which look like the were thrown in to please 10 year old GOW fans. In UT3 unlike Ut2004 you don't associate regular players with certain characters anymore, in large part because of the said demoguy bug problem. All characters look washed out too.

You forget the "Why" question people :D Skakruk, nice reply, pictures always liven up the threads :) We're not restricted to PChars, but it would be better if you would then also post your default character too :)
Yea, the Automatons from UT2003 were nice too. And you're right, the women in UT2KX are too thin and have very bad animations compared to UT99.

Hmm, would you find a lot of DemoGuys if you went to play UT3 online? :D

(Semi) official characters... let's see...
I hardly stick to the default characters anyway. I prefer custom models.

Unreal: Skaarjtrooper in multiplayer mode, unfortunately he's too big sometimes. So I switch to dante or ash iirc.

UT: Atomic cow. I'm fed up with the default human characters. I leave those for the bots.

UT2003: I liked the gen mo kai characters.

UT2004: Skaarj I suppose.

UT3: I don't know, they all look alike.

Unreal: Male 3, Bane.
UT: Flip-flopped for awhile. For awhile, I used Xan Mk II, but now I tend to use Othello.
2k3: Torch. Didn't really find one I clicked with in 2k3.
2k4: Xan Mk 3, then Othello again toward the tail end.
UT3: Othello yet again. See a pattern? :p I'd probably use Xan or Malcolm if either of them are in the expansion, however.
UT4: MarkRein. With my TwoWeekalizer, I can kick and ban everyone from the server just by farting.
