The grey wolf made me have feels
Alma Wade and Sarah Kerrigan are most tragic.
"In death, sacrifice." RIP, Duncan. Never forget.
i'd have to disagree with number 10. everything this video explained about Loghain Mac Tir were things that happened during the game. not beforehand and thus not backstory.
the only Dragon Age game i've beaten is Origins so i can't claim to know everything about the guy. the best i can understand is that he's xenophobic about the Orlesians. his reason for being this is way is understandable. he lived through a time when Orlais had invaded Ferelden and enslaved it's people. but that hardly makes him tragic. even more so when you consider the fact that he's a hero for his part in repelling the Orlesian invaders.
I wouldn't call Sif a villain at all; there are much more active tragic antagonists in Dark Souls.
Flowey?
No Handsome Jack what a shitty list
What about Caius Ballad?
What about Kessler from infamous?!
Wait for next WoW expansion and Sargeras: The Mad Titan would probably end up being the real hero ….
Poor Kerrigan
Kerrigan is not a villain in lore anymore Only in HOTS
Atm Kerrigan is the hero of the starcraft world
Kellogs of Fallout 4 the first name that pop up in my mind when I saw this.
C'mon. Where is Heiss from Radiant Historia? That dude's past was tragic. And his motivation? To save the protagonist (his nephew), again. Btw spoilers alert:
The world wants to sacrifice the protagonist so that they can exist. No wonder Heiss was so pissed off.
Where is Kessler from Infamous? His backstory is so tragic that the entire fanbase sees him as a good guy despite committing terrorist attacks on an entire city.
I knew Medusa had a tragic backstory.
Walter Sullivan from Silent Hill The Room
* 1: The Boss
2: Glados
3: Lisa Trevor
Arthas, Illidan… Bliz loves them a tragic story.
I better see Arthas or Illidan.
Shadow doesn't even have a fucking honourable mention?
Failed again Watchmojo
Wait what the heck where was flowey
Wear the hell is count bleck from super paper mario
2:42 NO EXCUSE LOOK HOW LONG HE HAD TO HELP HIM BUT NO HE WATCHES HIM DIE FUCK OFF
Seymour Guado does not have a tragic back story. He's just a douche.
Excuse me? Why is Arthas not on this list?
I unapologetically love Loghain Mac Tir. Fight me.
I Still Respect Loghain For What He Did, Calian Was A Child In A Adult Body.
Such a sad story for no. 1, Damn those unethical scientist
SHAUN!!!
Ardyn Izunia?
Ganondorf would have made a good honorable mention
What is the song in the background?
What about Saren form Mass Effect 1? The point that you could make him understand that he was wrong at the end…
Scorpion from mortal kombat
THE PURPLE GUY FROM FNaF! He started killing children after his two children died.
how the Boss isn't number one on this list is ridiculous.
Oralech from Pyre
Where's Asgore?
The Owl from Ori and the Blind Forest, his whole deal is he's the bad guy because you wiped out his family
Lisa's reunion with her mom broke my heart
Um…where's Flowey?
