Ahem.
So... We can all pretty much agree that in large, the video game industry is not very good in creating female characters. They have a tendect to make those a mere vessel for a physics defying pair of tits so that they could have a physics defying pair of tits on the game box' cover.

We are gamers. We like video games. Some of us are female. All of us are about four times as intelligent as the average game designer these days.

So... With this in mind, how do you think does your Perfect Female Videogame Character is like?
How does it look? What is her personality? What are her capabilities? Motivations? What are her realationships to other characters?
She does not have to belong to a specific game. Really. She can be generic or even belong to some kind of roguh theoretical game you have in mind.

Can we, the community, create a female character that is more then her boobs?

We shall see.
Celes from Final Fantasy 3/6. Kicked ass, cheated a gambler out of marraige, falls in love, fails sucide, saves the world.

What more could you want?

She'd have a nice, petite figure (natural looking) and then whatever fits the game. There's no point having a character that looks pristine in the middle of a war or invasion or whatever.

Oh yes, it can be done. We can make her smarter, faster, more powerful. We have the technology...

Sorry, where were we? Oh yes, female video game character. Not difficult at all.
1) D-cups are ridiculous. Never break C unless it's a defining character feature.
2) Eyes. Eyes are the gateway to the soul. A lot of anime characters talk about "killing intent" and the "look." If you look into a rape victim's eyes, they usually have a "hunted" or "haunted" flicker in the deep part of the eye. It's hard to describe, but if you give her large, expressive eyes and possibly a tragedy or character flaw from the past and successfully translate that into the eye, she gains depth.
3) A tragedy or character flaw, as I said above.
Basically, Lenalee Lee from the D. Gray-Man manga/anime would be an example of good female character design to me.

Well a good example of all of that would be Mona Sax. Money being the flaw.

She is a good example having a little sex. Thinking at first she is just a hot toffee then pulls out a gun proving she's a dame. Now a dame is what I personally expect, personality and body are top of the line with a weapon to kill with. Though she is not as daunting as the villain. Nicole Horne proves that the best villains are a *****.

Hmm I dunno; my wife's got DD's that weigh almost a kilogram each and even with a sports bra she can't run full tilt without doing some damage. Out of the six years I've known her I've rarely seen her even jog.
From memory Lara was supposed to have DD sweater-cows so she must have some serious scaffolding going on there or they've reinforced her spine with titanium.

Would you go as far as to suggest a connection between lady Croft and the Weapon X program?

Bah! Everybody know the perfect video game girl should be made of ice cream and porn.

Oh yeah, and I'm not contributing anything useful to this thread.
Why weren't you the first person to post? That's freaking brilliant!!!!
oh no the Pervs arrived...
I'm pretty sure anyone even looking at this thread is a perv.
By your standards anyway...
No read the thread...

People are wanting personality more
so... no
Read my other posts. Why not mix the aformentioned "perfect girl" with an amazing female lead with great depth, personality and intelligence? Wouldn't that be awesome?

It is called "know your audience": That is why most female characters represent some male fantasy, and they all fall for the protagonist.

yes action, and big boobs do NOT work well together.

When I'm doing non-sport jujitsu, or Kendo, sparring or any other of the activities I do I have to, and I mean HAVE TO strap mine down, as my motion is actually limited by them. and yes the strain on the back and shoulders is horrid.. only real way to combat that is reduction, or the path I take which is heavy weight training on the major muscle groups you use to support that weight.

and for the love of....the only thing that really bothers me, is the games like DOA and such that show they know NOTHING of breast physics.

A: Boobs do NOT move of there own free will when stationary
B: They do not defy the laws of physics by one breast swinging up, and another down...they stay together.
C: if they are real...they will NOT stay nice and shapely when the character is laying on the ground.

pffft you know I could go on, but I think I made my point there.


in reality though I don't see nearly as many super busty characters as one thinks...yeah, massive milk wagons may be more memorable, but when looking at most female characters be them PC/NPC, Main/Support characters...they tend to fall into the large B to mid C cup range...which is actually pretty average.

It would certainly inject some life into the franchise! I like your thinking.

Not even if the game is actually pretty good and the character has other, non boob related merits?

EDIT: Here is an idea. What about a game(It will probably not be an action game, thaugh. Some sort of quest? Survival horror?) where a character DOES have big breasts, but is also honestly overweight, maybe a little clumsy(I mean CLUMSY, Not "Beutiful Damsel in Distress", Stephenie), and actually HAS some problams with acting athletically?
Think it can work? "Realistic" double D's?

This topic fails if you havn't played the game where the character is in because then you are just comparing pictures - where looks are everything (Ivy wins).
However the personality of a character can change your outlook on that person, they maybe less physically attractive but their character is more of a turn on (as long as they are not too ugly).

Big Breasts do help

I thought we were trying to avoid defining a character by her jugs?

Can't we all just agree that Alyx Vance is exceptional and a good example of what we are looking for and stop making those useless posts? There havew been a dozen, and Alyx does not become better in any way with each new one.

Yes, but certain characters (Tifa from FFVII comes to mind) are well defined in more ways than one ;) However, Tifa is completely misbalanced for what she does in battle. D-cups are silly. That's what I was trying to say.

I alwayes thaught they wanted us to concentrate on Tifa's tiny, tiny, tiny skirt. But... Yep. It seems she also has respectable boobiez.
