Has Mission Vao from KOTOR been mentioned yet? Holier than thou street urchin with an annoying voice. Also Mira from the sequel. Zalbarr is great though. As is Hanharr who is basically a more redpilled version of Big Z.

Not only that, but Mission's computer skill and repair are cross skills. She could have been the best base infiltrator if she had access to at least computers, but they had to give T3 an actual use in a party so they had to nerf her a bit. Except T3 also isn't a good base infiltrator because he can't use stealth to get to those terminals. Carth also is in the wrong class for his stats. If he were a scout or even better a scoundrel (which is part of why Atton is a scoundrel), he wouldn't get benched so often. Canonically, Carth is a pilot, so it would follow that he'd be decent at computers and repair right? But he doesn't have points in those skills and half-assedly learned how to pick locks.

Lowe from Shining Force. Get into the legendary Shining Force by virtue of being your friend and is a healer which is the worst class in the series made even worse by starting as a level 1. He does 1 hp of damage with his attacks and his skill can easily be replaced by medicinal herbs.

He's a worse healer than Peach, has a weird gimmick spell that you'll never use and has... OK magic attacks and shit melee. On top of being a retarded crybaby.

I really wish that Mallow had been better balanced so he doesn't immediately get canned the second the fourth party member comes in. I have never used Mallow in the fight against Smithy either.

In FFVI the "avoid" list usually included Setzer, Strago, and Relm.
In Chrono Trigger Lucca was probably the least used.
In EarthBound, Jeff redeems himself (at least partially) with some cool tech he could use, but in Mother 3 I was stuck with shitters like Boney.

Baldur's gate: Quayle, Eldoth, Skie, Garrick and Alora are categorically the worst party you can manage. Not only are they either odious little shits or naive children, they're also all terrible party members.

BG2: lol fuck cernd
 
Neeshka from Neverwinter Nights 2,
Her "waaahh I'm a teifling and no one likes me" shit is so annoying, that and she would constantly set off traps and die
 
I haven't played a lot of FE games, but I'm admittedly not super bothered by the existence of shitty, sub-par units. Except for when the game forces me to use them, like how Radiant Dawn insists on Sothe coming along with your good ol' pals on several missions, where even if you've shoveled him experience he's not really fucking useful and way too prone to dying.

In all of my playthrough of Pathfinder: Kingmaker, I never really used Octavia or Regongar. Amiri's voice actor was really, really bad but she's a good party member. But byfar the worst thing was the fact that Jaethal straight up is the only party member that cannot be healed conventionally, and has to use harm spells to keep herself alive. It's incredibly annoying and such a headache when planning out the resources you bring along to places that I often shelved her when not necessary. I could not imagine playing that game without shared XP.

Despite Obsidian trying to wag its tail about Pillars of Eternity's writing chops, I find most of the companions between the games to be awful. If it's a character other than Edér, Durance, Zahua, or Tekēhu, they're fucking awful. And Tekēhu is absolutely atrocious and obnoxious when he's introduced thanks to how shit their "romance" system was integrated -- he's supposed to be a dick when you meet him and he grows out of it. But when he, like every other character, immediately goes HEY WANNA FUCK, it's grating. Every other character is fucking boring, with the exception that you can use the robot to get a comical scene at the end of the White March.

Guy from Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken.

Nah, man, you just gotta put that game on Hector Hard and recruit him. Guy's a killing machine. The only issue is that Raven is, too -- except that I've had plenty of success just murdering people with both of 'em. Until you get Gietz, and he alongside Dart just slaughter every single enemy in the game.
Non-hector lords usually just sit in the wing for me anyway, they so rarely turn into anything that isn't shit.
 
Never liked Kimari in FFX. He starts out subpar and by the time you can specialize him in some aspect, you might as well just use the other character who was naturally specced for the job anyway. He’s boring.

Nordom from Planescape Torment was never one of my favorites either

Kimahri at least has some use in the International/Remaster if you go with the Expert Sphere Grid. He and Yuna start the closest to the Extract Ability skill which can help deal with the game being stingy with Ability Spheres early. I think the Expert Sphere Grid helps him a lot in general, but the Expert Sphere Grid can turn anyone into a monster.

And I guess his legendary weapon isn't a complete pain in the ass to get (fuck lightning dodging, DOUBLE FUCK Chocobo racing)? Can't really argue against him being boring. They had nothing for him.

I don't even think Neeshka is the worst character in the main campaign. Sure, her constant sniping with Khelgar got old fast, but at least she has her moments and frees me from having to be a Rogue (or have Rogue workarounds). I think she's way better than Pedo Elf Prude Elanee, the one (annoying) note Grobnar, or "I can't believe they expect me to ever take this cunt over Sand" Qara.

I'm kind of surprised Sera from Dragon Age: Inquisition hasn't been brought up more. This has to be one of the worst characters I've seen in any RPG. As others have said, she's all the worst parts of mid-2010s Tumblr culture rolled into one character down to having the shitty haircut. She's hypocritical, she refuses to take responsibility for her own shitty actions, her "quirky" dialogue makes you want to smack her across the face most of the time, but what elevates Sera above bland characters (Kimahri), underpowered characters (Mallow), or other bratty characters (Qara) is that the narrative keeps trying to insist that she's right. In her personal quest, when you point out that she's a stupid, petty child who got her allies killed for stupid, petty reasons, she blows up at you about how the noble was so much worse and that even losing all her agents was worth it because she stuck it to nobility or whatever. Fuck this bitch. In a game with a lot of polarizing characters, Sera seems to still stand out as the most hated even by the people who she was supposed to be for.

Hahn from Phantasy Star 4. I know he both joins and leaves pretty early on but he's worse than useless for the time you're stuck with him.

Though all the optional party characters are useless at the end anyway cuz if you don't pick Raja you're doing it wrong.
