Manon Batiste
Beauty, brains and a personality that should have been used more through the MOH series. She doesn't have to rely on large knockers to win over a gamer. The depth of her character and the embodiment of the French fighting spirit is captured brilliantly.
Just an opinion mind you.

Probably Faith Connors from Mirror's Edge. She seems to be the only believable female layable character.
Kaede Smith from Killer 7 is my #1.
Orta from Panzer Dragoon Orta is my #2.
And Amterasu from Okami? I'm not sure she is a girl, but they sure don't show and balls or wangus hanging.

I'd have to say the best heroine in games is the Jet from Fallout 3. You can get fucked up on that shit.
Lara Croft
Kept one of the longest game series alive long after the gameplay became stale, requires a certain skill most heroines lack plus she has many mood swings with the amount of times the series has got a reboot and looking to gain another new personality once square is done with her

Mainly the best female protagonists tend to be custom characters. But Rikku from Final Fantasy X is definetly my favorite non-custom.
And although you don't play as her, I was fond of Alyx just like the rest of you.

Without much argument personality is the core trait of a good, memorable protagonist. I fully agree.MaxTheReaper said:
The lack of a bulbous body helps loads, mostly to go against the grain of what appears to be tradition in the great majority of developing houses, because a woman with a good body should not equate nor condemn a character to have a bimbo-llient pesonality. But with so many examples to the contrary in gaming, its difficult not to beg for a moderate physiognomy and physique in a female protagonist. And armour with less unarmoured spots. It really helps in respecting and believing in them.
It is a shame I have never played Mass Effect, since it seems to be a solid RPG, and by this forums answers seems also to offer the option of a fantastic female leading character (a rarity).
I also prefer a game that allows me to carve the path of my character, including his/her morality one. And in The Longest Journey series you are indeed given pre-made personalities (albeit, in my taste, excellently developed ones).
But in all pragmatism and technicality, there exists no game where we are ever truly offered real freedom to control our protagonist's personality. Not even in extensively written games such as Fallout, Neverwinter Nights, or for what I can read here, Mass Effect.
In the end, even when given more options to choose from, a character's persona is just as free and maleable as the writer of those options permits it to be.
We can merely be guides, and not creators (but sure, at least its best when done with more options). ;-D
Alyx Vance from the Half-life series for sure, followed by Princess Farah from Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
Indeed, she has been unduly and unkindly forgotten.rekabdarb said:
What say you to Major Sarah Parker from Ground Control (the first part)?
Would you all out there consider her a good lead female character? We never even see her in the flesh (just cut-scenes and the like). She is always inside that armoured vehicle of hers. And I think she still is more real, interesting and has greater personality than many other "girl characters" in present day games.
