Rufus from Deponia.
He is very egocentric but with a huge heart at the same time.
Not sure if this is too niche but a huge shoutout to deponia to all who loved sierra adventures back in the day.
Luffy in One Piece also wants to be a pirate, but seems to have no idea what pirates actually do. In Monkey Island, the worst thing a pirate might do is insult you. They fight with wit; the swords are just for aesthetics.
If you haven't played them, I highly recommend it. At least the originals. It's like playing a 90s cartoon. Like all the Lucasarts classics.

Gratuitous acts of senseless violence are my forte!

Looks to me like we've got a marginally volatile hostage situation here, Max.
Oohh! Does this mean we get to kick some puffy, white mad scientist butt?

S&M is a great suggestion

Would Manny Calavera from Grim Fandango fit here?
Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com · 4 pts · 291d
I think so

That would be my pick if I didn't vote for Leisure Suite Larry.

I think Guybrush Threepwood would be a perfect fit for morally grey and loved by fans.
There's no rule that he can't be voted more than once

That's kinda boring though.

I was just thinking this, considering he'll happily bury people alive

Oh good. Those dogs were only sleeping after all.

Larry Laffer.
I wouldn't say he is a bad guy per se, but I think it's fair to say he is supposed to be a bit sleazy.

I think Larry is probably an "Opinions Divided" one
Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 291d
Ha! Honestly, that's probably a better fit even if I personally disagree. :)

Larry; Larry Laffer!

Lemmings. They don little suicide vests at the click of a button, how much more morally gray do you get?

Excuse me, but Gabriel Knight is the perfect fit for this category.

Indiana Jones? Actually most scumm games have you do some pretty messed up stuff at some point in the game.

Is Mordin Solus from Mass Effect 2 morally gray or horrible?
leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 291d
I'm sorry, what?

Compared to the rest of the world at the Golden Age of Piracy, pirates were actually often on the better side.

You can just say you've never played Monkey Island, it's not a problem ;D

Piracy is more of a legal definition than a moral one.
But always fight legalized piracy.

Geralt, of course.

He is trying to be gray, but failing at it. He is good.
Maybe some of the other witchers? Vesemir? They are quite a bit more 'me and mine'.

Ellie from The Last of Us part 2. Say what you will about the story (I liked it, but I get the criticism), Ellie is pretty universally loved.
