Definitely Vasquez
Carver, I loved his character, thought he was fantastically written, and Michael Madsen did a terrific job voicing him.
LeChuck
Assquez.
The Bitchy Edna Strickland
You're not doing it right it has to have some at least some slight alliteration
Probs Carver, Id say Vasquez but I dont really think he is a "villain"
Carver intimidated me the most, but the Crooked Man was very dangerous and I LOVE to hate Vasquez. Ramsay Snow is also proving to be a great villain, but he kind of already existed so I'm not sure if that counts.
Carver is probably my pick.
Shit I almost forgot to add Ramsay thanks
Crooked Man probably, I mean The Stranger was a really interesting character but I don't think he was a villain just an antagonist, he was insane but he wasn't quite bad, Crooked Man was just fun to try to prove he was a villain so I'll go with that, Carver was OK but fairly standard and while Vazquez is fun I haven't seen all he's going to do yet so I'll save my judgement for later, same with August except I didn't care much for August but it seemed like his role was only just getting started.
Also wouldn't the St. John's also count? I mean they were the main villains in Episode 2, and like some others have mentioned you're missing quite a lot from older Telltale games like LeChuck.
I was talking about the entire game. And I mean more current. Also I agree what you said about The Crooked Man. His trial was the high point of the game even if the episode kinda sucked...
What about Bloody Mary?
True, but, I feel his potential was wasted and he could have lasted longer. He was killed off too quickly.
Yeah I thought she was pretty well done.
It definitely would have been interesting to see how the rest of the season would have played out had he lived longer, but I like how it happened and his death was one of the most satisfying deaths in any game I have played. Carver's character is a lot like Crawford and The Governor from the comics/show and to see a character like him get his comeuppance is extremely satisfying.
I said main villain...
@Raging_Blades is the greatest Villain of all time!
pure evil...
Whoops, my bad, should have read better.

In that case we don't really know if August and Vazquez are the main villains of Tales from the Borderlands since we only have one episode of that, they do seem like they are going to be recurring villains but I don't think either of them are the main villain or antagonist, there's also that guy with the mask whose identity is currently unknown, just saying it seems rather odd to exclude them because they appear only in one episode when you are including characters from a game that only has one episode.
And yeah I didn't like most of that episode either, all the action scenes were rather annoying and uninteresting but the trial was easily one of the high points of the entire season.
You said "We don't know about the duo" we know less about the kidnapper. He may no t even be an antagonist
It's Hugh Bliss for me, because I like villains that seem benevolent before they reveal their inner evil nature. Monty Muzzle is a close second for me, for the same reason.
My point was that he has as much chance of being the antagonist as those two, there's only one episode, I don't think we know who the main villain or antagonist is yet, so it's rather odd to count them, if we're counting the main antagonists of one episode it seems odd that you wouldn't count the St. Johns because they only appear on one episode despite the fact they were the main villains of that episode, besides the story of Borderlands could go anywhere, August and Vazquez could die on the next episode or something could happen that we end up allying with them even if it's only temporarily or they could become secondary threats and we'll focus on someone more important, we don't really know but it seems doubtful that either of them would be the main villain of the game.
I don't know I guess I'm just questioning your criteria, seems pretty odd to me, then again these kinds of things tend to be pretty arbitrary, but if you can include them and Ramsay Snow (Again only one episode so far and due to his canon status in the show seems like a pretty odd choice for a main villain even if he is a great character) I don't see why you would exclude the St. Johns, they were better villains than Carver, well at least in my opinion, they were just more interesting and were developped a lot better than Carver was, not saying that Carver was a bad villain just saying that the St. Johns were pretty good villains.
Only time will tell but the St. Johns were only in one episode. Vasquez and August are guaranteed to be in the next
They were but they made quite an impact on the story and when they appeared they were the main villains, unlike Vazquez and August which both seem more like secondary villains in the only episode that is out and while it's obvious they are going to be recurring characters, they aren't main villains, again my point is that you don't really know that either are main villains while the St. Johns were when they appeared even if it was just one episode, the Stranger also really isn't the main antagonist until episode 5, before that he's either non-existant or a subplot, it's your thread so whatever but it seems like an odd exclusion based on rather arbitrary criteria when you have characters whose status as main villains is rather dubious on there, both August and Vazquez seem more like important subplots than main antagonists, specially considering that they seem to serve as rivals to each of our protagonists (Vazquez to Rhys, August to Fiona) rather than both.
Meh there are some small hints after episode 2. I knew he was coming.
They weren't really hints, it was a sub-plot just like I said, anyway it doesn't really matter :P
Ramsay Snow/Bolton. Though I don't think we can really count him as a TTG villain.
Funny I was thinking the same thing
I'd say Crooked Man was the most well written, with The Stranger from Walking Dead Season 1 and the Narrator from Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse as close contenders.
I thought the Narrator from Devil's Playhouse also pulled this off well, although most of the characters in the game were not aware of his existence or influence until later on.
Crooked Man or the Stranger. Carver would have been the best but they killed him off too early IMO
It also would have helped, in my opinion, if they made his personality from Episode 2 stay consistent throughout the Season. In Episode 2, he was more cunning and subtle, whereas in Episode 3, he felt more blatantly evil and unlikable.
I didn't really play this game, but I did watch a play through of Tales of Monkey Island, and for honorable mentions De Singe and Le Chuck were pretty fun and enjoyable antagonists and, Hugh Bliss from Sam and Max was enjoyable too.
The Crooked Man is probably my no.1 for best Telltale villain with the Stranger from TWD S1 being no.2
Carver is probably the worst villain I've seen in fiction for quite a while.
Vasquez has potential, but I don't know, if he sings a random amazing villain song like Be prepared or Friends on the Other Side , then he'll immediately take the no. 1 spot for me, I know that sounds really odd, but I'm almost expecting it, since this series glorifies in pop culture and villain songs, especially Disney villain songs, are pretty popular.
I think that was one of the best parts of the game series (IMO), just Sam opening up the door to reveal the narrator, especially because the narrator had hinted at a betrayal right from the beginning.
No one knows what its like to be the bad man.
the sad man
behind blue eyes
Ramsay fucking snow.
XD, she had some srious issues
ok so when I think of best villain in games, I decide on 3 things: 1: the voice, whatever the character is you must hear it their voice. is it full of menace, sadistic, curl, revengeful or psychotic. You must feel the emotion from the character.
2: The threat/ purpose that character brings. Do you feel like things are falling apart for the other characters, these are the people that you want to survive, the villain must bring the danger. Do the other characters feel the threat, the player will often go through the emotions of the other characters. A fantastic villain will really unnerve everyone (including the player).
3: Damage: The best villains get other people's head and really mess round with them, the character will have long lasting effects from the villain, if they survive. Also a villain might try to change a person, possibly break their will.
So taken all those things into count then I will say Carver: great voice, you felt the threat and you seen the damage, Kenny snapped mentally.
that saying Ramsey Snow/Bolton is a better villain, however I am not taking him into count. Carver might be loosely based on the bad guys in the walking dead comic, but his character was created by tell-tale. Ramsey is a fantastic villain, and is more of a threat then Carver however he was created firstly by George R.R Martin. The little bit I know of the books the tv version of the character is slightly different to character in the books. The Ramsey that was Tell-tale's game is closely based to tv verison of the character. By all means he was well portrayed in the game, they did writing from him fantastically, spot on. However George R. R. Martin created Ramsey in the first place, the credit belongs to him.
