Favorite Protagonist
Okay. Favorite protagonist in a video game. Pretty simple question no?

Battle is a pure form of expression. It is heart and discipline, reduced to movement and motion. In battle, the words are swept away, giving way to actions-- mercy, sacrifice, anger, fear. These are pure moments of expression.

I'm almost tempted to say "Shepard". Or "The Exile". Or some such. But that'd feel like I was saying "You know what? I am the best protagonist!"
I quite like Eliwood and Hector from Fire Emblem (I count them both because they both have their own campaigns. I suppose Lyn counts too, but she's pretty much just Queen of the Tutorial). Oh, and Laharl from Disgaea (He's certainly not a "hero", but he's still the protagonist).

@patient_zero, I'll go ahead and say it if you won't  The Exile!
Squall is pretty darned awesome too 
The sun goes down and the sky reddens, pain grows sharp.
light dwindles. Then is evening
when jasmine flowers open, the deluded say.
But evening is the great brightening dawn
when crested cocks crow all through the tall city
and evening is the whole day
for those without their lovers

Hmmmmm, well, I have several, just like I have several favorite games...
In no particular order:
Manny Calavera (Grim Fandango)
Kain & Raziel (Legacy of Kain game series)
Guybrush Threepwood (Monkey Island series)
Mr. 47 (Hitman series)
Sam Fisher (Splinter Cell series)
Max Payne (well, I guess you know from which game he is )
I'm intentionally avoiding Shepard, Revan/Exile and the Bloodlines PC, because even though they all have some kind of backstory, in those games you are the PC so they don't really have that much of a personality of their own.

The cold and detached Agent 47 would certainly be one of my favourites...and I don't really play many other games with a non-custom character! I mean, I played FF VII and XII, but I couldn't stand Cloud or Vaan.
If I was to pick a second, it would have to be Revan. Darth Revan, of course!

I'd say Revan and the Exile, but Revan's personality in KotOR was non-existent, but since I prefer him to the Exile, the Exile's out, too. |

Exactly. He's a testament to what we, the supergeeks, could do whilst stranded miles from nowhere, below the suface and armed only with our wits.
And a crowbar.
And a shotgun.
And that zappy thing that shoots radiation.
He even has a beard like me. That's neat.
