"If you could take a video game character on a platonic data, what would it be, and where would you go?"

If it were possible, I'd love to take

Spoiler: Character

Kaepora

from Outer Wilds to see and explore all they never got to see, trapped by the fearful. ;_; i cry every tim

 

[sacchihikaru]

For a platonic date, I'd probably take Yukari Yakumo, although it's more likely that she'd choose where we go, not me. But if I had to make a choice, I'd just bring her to go people-watching in a busy neighborhood, mostly just to hear her talking and telling her stories.

 

[The Jabberwock]

Take Chell on a picnic in the wild and open- I want her to be happy, in the sun and grass and life, with good food.

 

[craisse]

The Outsider, and we'd hit every ridiculous shop and arcade in Akihabara.

Mask of the Rose is the upcoming game from the developers of Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies: a visual novel set in an alternate history Victorian London which has just recently been stolen by bats.

Definitely Dorian from Dragon Age: Inquisition, and I would take him to my favorite gay bar in Chicago for a night of dancing!

 

[drearydearie_]

I would take Charles Reed from the Sinking City to a vintage victorian fair and feed him all of the cotton candy.

 

[DoppioKy]

With the snow melting and the mud getting truly obnoxious, what better time to take Indivisible's Razmi on a tromp through the woods

 

[TheCatHerder]

I think it would be fun to take Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn to the Smithsonian.

 

[joonior_bmf]

I would take Tifa to an arcade.

 

[HydroFloric]

Leah from stardew valley. We'd just walk through the woods for a few hours. I imagine she would like that.

 

[Razor's Edge]

Well I would like to take Claire Redfield to a cafe in Paris. Hopefully there won't be a clown with a bomb...

 

[fablereality]

I would take Guybrush Threepwood to the Agrabah Bazaar...

 

[Twiggyshay]

"If you could take a video game character on a platonic date, who would it be, and where would you go?"

I'd like to hang out with Solaire of Astora at a milkshake bar, seems fitting idk why. This guy has some interesting stories for sure.

 

[Skalpi]

I would go with Joyce Leyton-Messier, the Wild Pines representative, and we would go on the ocean with her boat !

 

[Most Esteemed Sir Kale]

"If you could take a video game character on a platonic date, who would it be, and where would you go?"

I think I would like to hike down into the Grand Canyon with Arcade Gannon from Fallout: New Vegas. We could chat about history and philosophy, it'd be fun.

 

[bh3bh3]

I will date my long time game crusd Rinoa Heartilly at the top of the Eiffel tower.

 

[weirdbug]

"If you could take a video game character on a platonic date, who would it be, and where would you go?"

Haurchefant from FFXIV

I'd take him to Coerthas of the future so he could see that it was all worth it, and that the WoL has learned to smile, at least now and then.

 

[lglethal]

I'd take Adam Jensen to Disneyland. Try and put a smile on his face. Although he'd probably just say "I didn't ask for this..."

 

[Bayan74]

I would take Nico Collard on a date to some Parisian Cafe. It would be a blast.

 

[Skippan]

Wattson from Apex; to a planetarium

 

[BenitoPotato]

I wouldn’t say no to a date with lara croft on a Hawaiian beach

 

[mycelia]

Platonic? Then it'd be Sakura Ogami from Danganronpa, and I'd take her to a theme park. Girl deserves some fun in her life, and I bet she'd be great at the stall games. And you wouldn't lose her in a crowd!

 

[sosich]

Going with Elaine Marley on Monkey Island where that wannabe pirate Guybrush Threepwood would never find us
