Have you ever been playing a video game and thought "damn, this character is hot"? Well, you're not alone. That's why we've assembled the top 10 hottest video game characters. According to gamers. And with the Southwest Florida temperatures into the upper 90s, maybe it's a good idea to stay inside and play video games.
Di you know that some games even have ways to make the characters hotter. Games like Fallout 4 have mods to make some of the NPCs more attractive and even the aptly named "busty" mod which makes the female characters um - curvy.
According to a new survey of video game players, 44% admit to having a crush on a video game character and 52% have been sexually attracted to one! As for the hottest characters in the game? We asked gamers to rank characters on a 1 to 5 attractive scale. Here’s what we found:
- Tifa Lockhart of Final Fantasy ranks the hottest with an average score of 4.20 and is the top video game crush.
- Yennefer of Vengerberg (The Witcher), Lara Croft (Tomb Raider), Jill Valentine (Resident Evil), Princess Zelda (The Legened of Zelda) round out the top 5.
Fans of The Last of Us and The Witcher made their favorites known. The only two male characters to crack the top ten were from those games (Geralt of Rivia, The Witcher and Joel Miller, The Last of Us).
