Ultimate "Video Game Babe"

Considering my character in Mass effect was a woman with a large scar on her face, with plain brown hair and hazel eyes with a relatively plain appearance, who was probably a saint reincarnated in the game with a deep, complex personality... yes, you can make a character who is more than just tits. Its easy, and its been done before. In terms of the physical appearance I went for battle-hardened, someone who was pretty once but has seen a lot of fighting. (My character was a two-case survivor, saved from slavers the first time and the sole survivor of fifty soldiers the second.
Before you say "you played a woman and you're a man?" My character was a girl on this occasion... I almost always go with a male character when given the option. My current fallout 3 AND Fable 2 characters are male. I just thought a female space commander would make a cool main character in this case, a decision I made on a whim on the character creation screen.

I, personally, have a massive video-game crush on Ashley from Mass Effect. She's badass, but with a softer side that you can occasionally glimpse throughout the game. Probably Bs, at most. BioWare doesn't seem to be into tits.
You know, men in video games are unrealistic too. How many men are built like Kratos from God of War or any of the characters from Gears of War? Or Duke Nukem, or Zangief, or or or. It's just that men are by-and-large ok with the idea that video games are a fantasy, and there's a fair number of women who think a perfect digital body is sexist. Not all women though, because I know several that have no real issue with perfectly molded breasts.
It's only an issue if you make it one IMO, and to say it's unfair to women is to ignore a great deal of stylized male characters as well.

Difference in opinion, I suppose. However, I will agree to the point where I say Tali was my favorite...now if only she'd take that helment off!Propagandasaurus said:
I dunno, maybe it's just the games that I play that are different. But I can mention some games where pretty much none of the women, not even the prostitutes, are nothing but a pair of boobs.
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
Fallout 1, 2, and 3
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2
Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2
Assassins Creed
The Elder Scrolls 3: Oblivion
Can't remember any more right now, but there are plenty. As far as I see it, most of the games that only feature women for the boobage are mindless shooters or action games, where characters are unimportant anyway.

She wears a bra. There's a reason women wear SPORTS bras. I mean, I played soccer and have decent sized breasticles. As long at you gots the bra, you're good to go.Oneirius said:
Excellent point. I mean, look at Bastila for crying out loud. A bad-ass lightsabre swinger who can turn battles with her mind, with a taste for evil. Come on! And then in assassins creed there's that woman who sacrifices herself as a decoy to protect your nemesis from harm. THAT's what I call tough!SultanP said:
What I would like to see is two girl sidekicks, a ditz with massive breasts and the sensible, normal one with excellent AI. The first one is killed quickly by not stopping in time to dodge a hazard and gets her boobs chopped off, Yahtzee style.
The other one has basic motivations to assist the player, has flaws and is still likable, think a physically toned down version of Farrah from POP: Sands of Time.

I can come up with a couple of good ones:
- Alyx Vance (Half Life 2)
- Elaine Marley (Monkey Island)
- Princess Peach (Mario)
And as a bonus: Jill Valentine from Resident Evil. Although she is perceived as 'hot' by many, it doesn't all come from her appearances but also from her bad-ass attitude.
