Nightmare Doom Posted February 9, 2008 I think games should have more realistic Female characters who are not bimbos like their mostly always been since Male leads are typically cliched. This is one of the examples how Feminism hasn't really reached their goals of gender equality...yet. (unless Capitalism is abolished) 0 Share this post Link to post
AirRaid Posted February 9, 2008 Half-Life 2 does that well. So does Unreal 2. No wait that's not right. 0 Share this post Link to post

Only if Alyx would loose that tiny midriff of hers and redid Chell's gravity leg bracelets which are actually in high heeled position if you look very closely how the way her feet are positioned... 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted February 10, 2008 STFU, noob. Go back to your vampire girls with giant arms. I guess you can't handle characters with actual development. 0 Share this post Link to post
Enjay Posted February 10, 2008 I think the most sympathetic and realistic female protagonist in any game has to be Julie from FAKK2. 0 Share this post Link to post

The woman from 'The Dig' or Sophia from 'Fate of Atlantis'. They actually wrote some believable characters. I also like Emily Hartwood in Alone in the Dark. Also Lol at that list... the characters described are precisely what's wrong with game protagonists... they aren't the exception, they're part of the rule. 0 Share this post Link to post

Agreed. If emokids are the new wave in video game heroes, then I want no part in it. 0 Share this post Link to post
