Well to be fair you don't actually have an option to be any of those things. Except maybe 20-something.MaxTheReaper said:
Still a good point though.
Catherine Archer from No One Lives Forever.
Although the tight jumpsuit zipped down to ... there... was a bit much, most of the time she dressed appropriate to the situation, and with dialogue, script and a good voice actress, she came across as competent, clever, witty, resourceful and tough.

Though she's not technically the main character, I'd have to say Alyx Vance of HL2 fame is probably one of the best female characters ever. She acts intelligent, has a genuinely funny sense of humor, and a very deep personality. She's not overly sexualized but still extremely badass! Also, she's black/Asian, the first and still only of he kind in video games. All in all, she seems human enough to easily sympathize with, retaining the badassery of an action hero without making it seem unrealistic or corny. While Alyx is not the main character, Gordon Freeman has little to no personality, making Alyx the most developed character, and the most awesome female character in the history of videogames.
They did not use sexploitation, except for the fact that if you beat the games quick enough, you got to see Samus in a skimpy outfit. But that's hard to do, anyways, and not a lot of people knew about it.Elijin said:
Also, I agree with Samus. She's like the female Boba Fett. With extra awesome.
Joanna Dark, or Alex Roivas from Eternal Darkness.
Obviously Samus is in there but I will go for either of the above, probably Jo because she had character.

I don't like it when girls are artificial, though I still believe my sanity to be questionableSkalman said:It seems we are the only sane ones left.MaxTheReaper said:I appreciate that (or rather, my ego does,) but even if I thought fake blondes were the hottest thing since sliced bread, it's like eating pizza every single day for ten years.Skalman said:You, my good sir, are a genius.MaxTheReaper said:I prefer my girls small breasted, well-dressed, and with a head full of brainy things.

See above!Kukul said:Why would you want to do that?MaxTheReaper said:
Also: I live in Florida. I can walk outside and see fifty girls with breasts bigger than watermelons, hair bleached to a freakish white-blonde, bad tans, and empty heads.
And every time I do, I am filled with disgust and murderous rage.
Well not really, but ew.
Eventually? You'll throw up at the sight of it. And I never liked the stereotype or the people who acted it, so you can imagine my reaction (it invovlves chainsaws and wild dogs.)
I agree with this, basically any game that has a woman fully clothed and with natural sized tits is daring enough to be respected in my book. Who knows how much of sales spike they take for not making every woman in every game a sex goddess? Because men will instantly buy your game if the women are physically unable to do a pushup developers!MaxTheReaper said:

I second Alyx Vance, for all the reasons stated above. Having never played Metroid, Beyond Good and Evil, or Perfect Dark, I can't really vouch for those. However, I'm going to suggest someone way out of left field here: Karan Sjet from Homeworld. Think about it. She submits herself to an experimental procedure, is hardwired into the computer core of the Mothership to act as fleet command, and leads a small group of refugees to ultimate victory against a vast and ancient interstellar empire. I'd say she's highly badass in her own way. There is zilch about sex appeal or anything else that defines most female main characters. She is all about leading the Kushan to victory, regardless of personal sacrifice. I somehow doubt most of the other female leads here would volunteer to give up everything to ensure the survival of their species.
