Exactly, now excuse me I need to slip into my size -2 clit-huggers and practice switching from Ice-Queen to Sex Goddess.Hitokiri_Gensai said:
Bitterness aside, try playing some of Funcom's games, in particular their duology "The Longest Journey" and its sequel "Dreamfall", both containing (a different one each game) well written, realistically proportioned and well dressed female protagonist. And they're good old fashioned adventure games, so hey~
There was this lady that called me a gypsy in GTA4.
I'm surprised that people's ideas of real women in video games are "well characterized" or "competent" or "conservatively dressed".
In real life, regardless of gender, most people are none of these things.

Hmm, so if Corky's attitude/demeanour was right, just a bit more "practical" makeup.intheweeds said:
How about Michelle Rodriguez?
I would give examples from games but it's kinda hard to tell if Lara Croft (classic 1996 look) is wearing makeup or not.
i was gonna say "lemme go load up my weapons" but considering i have a weapons room that would shame most third world countries... lets just go with, i need to change out of my ass kicking clothes into a dress that shows off mah tits!AdeptaSororitas said:
Michelle Rodriguez is kind of cheating since she's already an admitted bisexual, but I forgive her for being uber-sexy! None of these are really sitting completely right with me, though. I thought for a minute before posting and i think i figured out why.Treblaine said:
All this demeanor talk means nothing if the girl 'looks' like she could be straight. You know those girls where you see them on the street and there can be no mistake: that is a gay woman. Either that or you don't see them because you think they are a guy from a distance. Here is an example:

This specimen was found on Page 1 of a google image search for 'butch women'. This one is still a puppy, however, when she is fully grown in a few short years, she will be a textbook example. Men will probably not find her attractive, but i promise you this one does well with the ladies. (please ignore the hair, butch lesbians have approximately five hairstyles our g/fs let us wear, and unfortunately Beiber stole one from us leaving it forever tainted)
Here is another excellent example:

This woman gets around the haircut problem by using the time honored lesbian tradition of just wearing a hat ALL the time. Note the tank top worn as a shirt over blue jeans - a classic lesbian uniform.
I guess for me it's the obvious gayness i want to see. A woman who probably gets called 'Sir' a lot and whose mother is constantly whining about how she 'used to be so pretty'. Someone who probably faces some discrimination like I do. (i'm well aware that 'lipstick lesbians' have they're own mostly opposite problem with invisibility, but this isn't about that)
Idk if i made any sense, but at least the butch photos were fun to caption.
a few seconds of further research shows that the first picture is in fact a woman named Jill Lybarger - who is an MMA fighter with an apparently very good record. The second picture is just random dyke #542371
I'm a straight guy but I find both of those women attractive. Or I don't know... interesting. Most of my writing I seem to end up writing about butch women though I've never developed their relationships much. I learn from the mistakes of Ian Fleming: if you can't write romance/intimacy well, then don't write it at all*. So their sexuality is always ambiguous if not irrelevant.intheweeds said:Michelle Rodriguez is kind of cheating since she's already an admitted bisexual, but I forgive her for being uber-sexy!

(*that's what I can't stand about Fleming, he is awful at romance and intimacy. Classic British male author, really: Good at adventure and high-living but no clue with women. Not that I know personally that much, but I do know what I don't know... if you know what I mean.)
But yeah, the way I like my protagonists are female but tough and no nonsense, especially no nonsense like high-heels, fancy hair or impractical nails. And yeah, the rebooted (first reboot TR: Legends/Anniversary) I just found to be too fragrant and fancy. The original Lara, was much more in the right direction.
or consider this evolution of Lara Croft:
over the years she has gotten curvier, the neckline of her top has plunged and more of her midriff exposed, pointlessly. She seemed to be wearing a one-piece swimming costume and shorts originally, but now this silly tank-top and ultra tight and tiny shorts. Yeah, she is latterly more attractive but I'd much rather BE the original Lara with a snarly grin of a woman you don't want to fuck with, not the fragrant semi-pout of latter Lara.
Oh god, Anniversary; they made her a wimp, getting all tearful over shooting a guy twice her size who was about to kill her. I get it that women are more in touch with their feelings, but why should she even feel bad about defending herself from a murderous scumbag? She should be relieved she survived and succeeded. Lara is supposed to be a female adventurer to hold her own with the likes of Zorro, Indiana Jones and James Bond. Indy when faced by a swordsman just pulls his gun and calmly shoots him, and not beat himself up over it afterwards.
I'm going to take an easy route and suggest that anyone look to the earlier Ghost Recon games for not only realistic female characters, but realistic characters in general.
While each Ghost is an utmost professional, they all have unique backgrounds and personalities that shine through the serious tone of the games.

Alyx is the best example, obviously, but I do think, like it has been said, they were really trying too hard.
Lara in the upcoming Tomb Raider has potential, but let's see how that goes.

Your post has literally no purpose. It neither contributes to the thread nor encourages discussion. Congrats.Gill Kaiser said:
