Marcus Holloway
(Watch Dogs 2)
While I truly appreciate Lee Everett, Marcus Holloway’s situation is a bit more relatable. He does try to take down corrupt corporations with his hacker group, DedSec, but looking beyond some of the over-the-top gameplay, Marcus comes across as a regular person above all.
He’s an all-around nerdy guy who, for most of the game, just wants to do the right thing while having a good time with his new friends. His lighthearted nature makes him a protagonist that’s easy to get behind.
However, what makes Marcus relatable as a character is that he speaks on very real situations. When he starts a conversation about feeling uncomfortable in a less-than-diverse Silicon Valley workplace, it feels believable and true to experiences that people have in real life.
