Most powerful character/monster/creature in cRPGs?

[Sneaky Seal]

This is going to be slightly idiotic, and I apologize right away, but can we please discuss who's the most powerful character/monster/creature in cRPGs?

To have an academical flavor to it, we will need to establish some kind of reference or a frame, and then put your favorites on the arena, determining whether he will destroy the previous codexian's character. I also think we should exclude gods and god-like creatures from this, as they are OPed.

For an easy start I will go Darth Nihilius from Kotor 2, the guy who could suck a life out of a whole planet, killing every living character on it.

The Tarrasque. Just eats everything and can never die. Has to be wished out of existence.

I always hated Mind Flayers in the Baldur's Gate series.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

 

[mbv123]

Kids in Fallout 3

 

[DraQ]

I also think we should exclude gods and god-like creatures from this, as they are OPed.

How do you delineate?

It was so anti-climatic when you could kill him in half a minute of combat though.


Now for my favorite powerful bosses, it's probably Demogorgon from Watcher's Keep in BG2. There was also Kangaxx the Demi-Litch that was memorable.
IWD also has some great super creatures that provide intense battles like Yxunomei and Belhifet.

Daer'Ragh the mage from Baldur's Gate 1 who appears in the Nashkel cemetery and warns you to leave his tombstone alone. So of course you don't.

Darth Nihilius in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes is actually really fucking powerful and deadly. But I don't have one.

 

[Bester]

Taxi driver in Vtmb is pretty powerful.

 

[555]

Gaunter O'Dimm was alright

 

[Neanderthal]

Pariah Dog were pretty fucking terrifying.

Lady of Pain, forget keeping out / murdering other gods. Not even the player character can beat her.

 

[lukaszek]

deterministic system > RNG

 

[vota DC]

Giygas. He is almighty.
But he is an almighty idiot so the player can beat him and Pokey can manipulate him.

 

[Lios]

[Sykar]

Khaine from the Blood Omen series. With a single decision not to sacrifice himself he rose to a sort of godhood, ruling over a desolate and ruined Nosgoth for centuries and turned from playable anti-hero in the first game to antagonist in the sequel Soul Reaver.
