@MordeaniisChaos: Testers wouldn't really have any influence over design decisions like that.

Fable II was pretty lame. Most of the reason I went for the Collector's Edition was for the Hobbe figurine, which they removed from the set shortly before release.

@Wuddel: By "silent" do you mean "quiet"?

@PeasantAbuse: That's just it. I'm not saying I always want the choice, or I'm often in a situation where I'm thinking "I wish this dude was a lady". I just enjoy playing games that have male protagonists, and also games with female protagonists.

@Abigailnn: There definitely needs to be more female protagonists, and not just in games. It's very easy to say that developers/publishers are trying to play to their demographics, but that's just an excuse, and it's a poor one at that. Just because the majority of people who play video games are men, doesn't mean that all of them only want to play as male characters. I want to play as both.

I'm really not sure why so many people are coming to the defense of developers/publishers here. Maybe they're afraid of the word "sexism". Perhaps the lack of female characters isn't directly encouraging sexism, but the two certainly go hand in hand. Game developers spend years crafting fantastic, and often absurd, worlds for their characters to inhabit, often with monsters, magic, and even humans that can withstand explosions, hundreds of bullets, and still keep fighting. Yet, so many people still try to argue that it's "unrealistic" for a woman to be strong, or violent, or capable. Why does the suspension of disbelief break there?

In Deus Ex, there are almost zero female enemies. Does anyone find that odd? Are the women of Deus Ex less capable of receiving augmentations? Is it not conceivable that, given the opportunity to balance the equation, many women would strongly consider pursuing "enhancement"?

Norm wins, but only because of Will.

Also, Will's was a close second.

I'm going to go out on a limb, and say that prisoners should be able to vote.

i dont think alot of people here know what "hidden gems" means...

I always like these threads, because they're good for a quick laugh. Unfortunately, there's way more appropriate suggestions here than normal. Usually you'll get a bunch of people throwing out things like Final Fantasy XIII in all seriousness.
