    I’m trying to remember the first game I played with a female lead and I think it was portal. And that woman didn’t speak. Strangely the next was transistor and she technically didn’t speak either.

    Female protags are rare. They used to be epic loot, but it's getting better now.

    I guess it's Portal for me too. Then Oblivion with a female character with that golden armor from shivering isles for shiny boobs. I was a horny teen and porn was getting boring lol

      What ISN’T woke to conservatives/republicans anymore?

      Please don’t answer that, I know the answer, but come on. Pick up a book.

        My man Geralt looked like he was in dire need of a nap during the entire run of Witcher 3. Let him rest, people.

          The reactionary women-hating alt-right gamer-gate neo-nazi losers should just be ignored at this point.

          "at this point"

          You've paid attention to them at some point?

                hot take: i fucking hated the way ciri and every single other woman in witcher3 was written/portrayed...

                they all felt like they were written by incels who have never met or conversed with an actual real woman. they were shallow game of thrones/fantasy tropes and felt like walking talking cliches. i literally cringed through every interaction...

                And this also explains why they've "grown" her into a plastic, lip-plumped, reality-TV-star banshee. The character model looks awful.

                  He apparently worked on Oblivion (and Skyrim), so there's a chance. He took a chance on Starfield and failed, so hopefully he learns from that instead of doubling down.

                  Yeah, but I don't have a ton of faith in him, especially given that one whiny twitter thread he made.

                    The second one might benefit from a remaster by the time 4 comes out, as some of the models are a bit too XBox360 era, with the strangely wide shoulders and oversized arm muscles of the time

                    That's fair. I was thinking more about the overall aesthetic, as it's a bit more stylised rather than leaning towards realism like in 1 and 3.

                      Tomb Raider is not a woman protagonist game though, at least in the first game they wanted to have Indiana Jones but didn't got the rights to it. So the developers replaced the assets with a female.

                      In whole series there is not much that makes her a woman, more like an American gun-maniac guy that looks like a girl.

                      The first game didn't have much in the way of story. The focus was on the puzzles and adventuring. I don't think that makes her less of a woman character. In a video game, the assets are the only difference, anyway. Not that women can't be rough and adventurous and physical and like guns.

                        The protagonist is a woman.

                          Plus also she’s awesome anyway. What the fuck is wrong with people? Oh I can’t enjoy my vibeo game with a wahmen as main character, it’ll ruin my mood!

                          That's what I don't understand, like, have people not played the Horizon games? They're awesome, they're fun as hell.
