What makes the cast so likeable?
The all have their unique personalities. Some might call them stereotypes, but honestly their personalities make them so great. Playing as Soldier (R.I.P) and rocket jumping and him spouting some random nonsense about America makes him 10 times better. Imagine if the whole cast didn't make any snarky remarks when they dominate someone? Game would've died a year or two in. Valve perfected their personalities, and that what makes them so great.
Gotta agree with user. They're ultimately stereotypes of their representative classes. And it's hilarious!
it's a "they are what they do" mentality, you see a lot of this in extremely stylized games. They're extremely flawed people, and their imperfection is easy to love.
e.g. scout's ego vs. his own skill at dodging and running, as well as the fact that he cares for Ms. Pauling
soldier's patriotism vs. his hilarity (covering himself in honey and wrestling a bear)
pyro's insanity vs. his twisted version of love
demoman's lack of sobriety vs. his ability to hold several jobs
heavy's stupidity when he's enjoying himself
engineer's inactivity vs. calm demeanor
Medic's insanity and disregard to his patients vs. his ability to innovate in medical science
Sniper's better-than-you attitude that he only mutters to himself vs. his unmatched skill
Spy looks down on the rest of the cast even though he cares about them
each member of the cast is unique in their own way, with very little overlap in how they carry themselves, witch excellent voice work done to really distinguish each class
The cast is really easy to like because they're so well designed and fleshed out
They take a stereotype, go all the way with it, then subvert it and flesh it out
None of their voice lines or interactions with one another feels out of place or unneccesary.
no woman
No women.
No women
They dont take themselves too seriously. All unique personalities that people can assign their own traits too. lovable goofy killers.
none of them were made by women or gays
