what is gordons personality?

Not really an active personality, as in it doesn't show in game, but it's there.

even though Gordon Freemans past and such is more defined..I still think most of his so called "personality" is projection or going purley on hs actions...which is is fine, actions tell us alot

and I don't see why I can't do the same for Chell...no, I don't know the intimate details of her personality (or past) but I know she is tenacious (that ones a fact) and she's obviously quite smart

I don't need her to have much of a personality to like her as a female charachter...mabye this thease cases its just a Valve thing.

I would like to give off a sigh of relief that no one has mentioned Elena from Uncharted. SEE THAT, GAME CRITICS? Actual fans think she's boring, annoying, cliched, and a lot of other mean words!
Ahem...time to compose myself

1. Tali'Zorah from Mass Effect (I'll only mention one Bioware character)
2. Alyx from Half Life 2
3. GLaDOS from Portal 1+2
4. Jenny from The Darkness 1+2
5. Jade from BGnE

Honorable mentions:
Bonnie Macfarlane from RDR
Zoey from L4D
Shodan from System Shock 2

Technically Liara is not a female, I know but someone was going to say it.

"Technically" she is female, because the Asari are both by definition and according to the Mass Effect codex an all-female species. Their reproduction, through parthenogenesis, is similar to that of the very real all-female New Mexico whiptail [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_whiptail].

Right but she said in the first game quote " Technically I am not a female." So no offence but I am going with what the characters themselves have said over the Codex countering it said that Reapers where a myth and had no bases in fact in the second game. Just saying I trust Liara over the Codex.

She said "I'm not exactly a woman." A woman is specifically a human female, by the way.

And the argument she presented, in an attempt to calm Kaidan, doesn't even make sense. She said she's not exactly a woman because the Asari only have one gender. (But that gender is by definition female.)

EDIT: And of course from an Asari's perspective, gender is irrelevant. The concept would have only arisen within their culture once they encountered other species that did have multiple genders. Still, that doesn't make them any less female.
