True Female Characters

Re: True Female Characters

I feel like I've been stating the obvious lately... Name of topic, Mora. It isn't the "True Men Characters" thread, which would sadly devolve into something involving hulking men with guns.

When the truest of manliest characters has already been made. We should never need to!

Re: True Female Characters

Aren't most male characters in video games soulless meat husks?

I hope that Mom game doesn't features stereotypical representations of children

Re: True Female Characters

Wah! I want both believable mom and CHILDREN. Wah! One game at a time, man.

I thought we already got The Sims.

Re: True Female Characters

But that game is based on the life of John Mora.
... but with a hot tub.
... and women.
... and other people.

Re: True Female Characters



This was probably the most well-developed female character I've seen in a video game. Granted, she was a female character that failed at everything she did, but at least she tried.

Re: True Female Characters

That's what makes her so realistic!

Re: True Female Characters



My favorite female character.

Space Channel Five is shameless fun.

Maybe so over the top and hyper-sexualized as to be a parody/critic of the exploitation of women in video games.

Re: True Female Characters

I thought that Escapist video was pretty interesting. The Pav is soooo cynical about everything anymore.

Anyway, playing through Suiko 2 and Nanami is a female who's a character!

Re: True Female Characters

I'm still going with Claire. Not literally a mom, but similarly protective of that ***** Sherri or whatever her name was. Unlike that useless ponce Jill, she was actually able to do stuff without Barry holding her hand every step of the way. And she even had remotely realistic measurements.

Re: True Female Characters

Don't tell me you guys are forgetting about Nina from the Breath of Fire series. Breath of Fire games have good female characters.

Re: True Female Characters

wow, both are very good articles and something any game designer - even rpg makers - should consider. im going to have to evaluate my female cast and make sure that im following these rules and not making something dumb.

Re: True Female Characters

i don't know.

i'm currently unable to articulate why escapist videos are so frustratingly annoying.

but they remind of those freshmen in college who are extremely passionate about some ridiculous cause for a while but eventually by the time they're a senior they've realized what a waste of time it was and binge drink themselves to sleep.
