I wanted to say protagonists but it wouldn't fit.

Was thinking about this recently, how almost every video game character either has no parents, the parents are dead or some kind of daddy issues.

One of the 3 Commander Shepard Origin's has a mom. Which is the closest I can think of.

They're not exactly close Shepard stone cold doesn't even contact her on his/her list of people to say goodbye too when s/he is about to die. And the mom is like "Oh you weren't dead after all. D'oh well" when s/he gets ressurected but they're not hostile either. Just both kinda there.

Speaking of Bioware (possibly the king of daddy issue characters) the City Elf origin has a dad who lectures you a lot and forces you into a shotgun wedding but he seems to love you and the relationship is healthyish. Mom is still dead though.

Original Lara Croft's parents are implied to be okay. They were Cuddling at her grave but we don't really know much about them.

The mom in Pokemon seems really supportive of her child.

TC, I am almost done with TR1 (last two levels). I wanted to tell you it is NOT better than TR II. Not really close, tbh.

BOTW Link learned his fighting skills from his father who led the Hyrulian Knights. There's concept art of him smiling with his father and sister.

Stay alive yes. If they are there as plot devices to die then that's not a healthy relationship.

Or at least one of them does.

As I said I guess City Elf Warden gets half a point.

Ps1.


Well there's your problem.

Limited save points vs save anywhere.

On PC, TR1 is way better.

This isn't a direct answer to your question, but Bayek in AC Origins is in the opposite position, where it's his child who dies. Not sure if his parents are ever mentioned.

I'm pretty sure that the parents of DQ7's hero stay alive throughout the entire game. They always got along too.

DQ7 was pretty damn long game too IIRC so they had plenty of time to pull the dead parents cliche yet never did.
