So lately I have been in mood to play a female character in videogames. More and more I have been finding it difficult to play a male character as well. Like its hard to get into the game. I dont know if its cause I identify with female gender or if its cause theres more girls in videogames lately.

Anyways I need your help in remembering and/or finding all the games where you can play as a girl, present, past, or coming out in the future. I am only one person after all! With western RPGs this is a piece of cake. As most let you choose your gender. Japanese RPGs generally dont count cause your controlling a party, not a single person but theres some notable exceptions of coarse. Fighting games dont really count. Lets face it they are generally brokenly less powerful than the males.

---

Dont just list them. Give me a bit of description of what made the girls so special and badass in the game.

---

Fallout 1 and 2- female main character was famous for being nearly brokenly more powerful. couldnt take crotch damage (which was more than headshots) and the black widow perk increased damage against males. which made up 90 percent of the enemies and NPCs

Fallout 3- lady killer perk slightly increased damage against males that made up 60 percent of the NPCs but it was still something. and hearing Liam Neilson voice call me his little girl made me giggle with delight

Fallout New Vegas- balanced things out with the Designated Bachelor perk for men. gender wasnt particularly special. male NPCs only slightly outnumber females. not super memorable *shrugs*

Mass Effect 1 and 2- FemShep is the superior Shepard thanks to a far better voice actor

DA Origins- Allistair was a dork but charming and sweet in his own way. And certainly easier to get along with than Morigan. That was the only difference really. Other love interests were very very Bi

DA 2- femHawke is hot.....very hot

KOTOR- eh not much to say. Accept missing out on Bastilla and then the handmaiden in second game made it difficult to play as a chick.

Jade Empire- not Biowares greatest work but still not a horrible game. and theres three pre-made main characters to choose from.

Assassins Creed Brotherhood- can play a female persona in the multiplayer and each has some very unique and fitting kill animations.

Monday Night Combat- its like team fortress 2 but with some differences. one major difference is one of the classes is strictly female. namely the assassin. shes a sword wielding, shuriken hurling, latex wearing badass with one banging tight body

Left 4 Dead 1 and 2- yeah I wouldnt play unless I could be one of the gals hehe

Portal 1 and 2- though silent Chell has become a pretty damn famous female main character. and she so isnt fat.

Mirrors Edge- yeah this game was awesome. Whats funny is they had intended the camera to literally be the characters eyes. Like if you look down you see the whole body. Not just the legs. but became affraid what parents would think if you could look down at the characters cleavage. nuts hehe

Bayonetta- I dont think any game really captures badass and sexy female lead like Bayonetta does. To be fair the lead art designer was a gal and designed Bayonetta to be sexy from a female perspective. From what I understand shes intimidating for most men.

Metroid Series- long as we dont count Other M its hard to argue against Samus Aran being the most badass chick ever.

Halo Reach- I was surprised you could make a female spartan. I am not a big fan of Halo but do find the multiplayer fairly fun. and this knowledge suddenly makes buying Reach very tempting. even if your just slightly slimmer with a better ass and a different kill scream hehe.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep- I adore KH series and for there to be a strong willed female playable character, I was so happy hehe. The two males were forgettable if you ask me

Jeanne D'arc- normally a jRPG isnt gonna count especially a strategy RPG but with such a focus on the female lead who can transform into a badass Knight middle of combat hard not to include her

Final Fantasy 13- A game I enjoyed up until the first, the only, and one ridiculously large field in the game. Became so boring after that but deserves mention cause Lightning was pretty badass even if she was just a female Cloud and memorable cause you could only control one character in battle. So I have fond memories of using her.

Parasite Eve- been forever since I played it but I remembered it eventually. I loved the combat in first game. I swear each title in the series had a different combat system. Weird.

Perfect Dark- havent played any of the games. I have heard it described as golden eye but with a gal. certainly sounds pretty good to me hehe

---

Thats all I can remember, mostly causes these are games I own or have played recently. But I know of some games coming out in near future.

---

Batman Arkham City- nevermind I loved first game but giving me a chance to play Catwoman even only for 10 percent of the game is awesome. ^^

Gears of War 3- my interest in Gears has waned. But with female playable characters for co-op and multiplayer cant resist getting back into it. I heard Anya was played by like 80 percent of the people in the Beta. Most likely cause of the Achievement you get for her. But I hear the female model is harder to hit cause of their size and they hide behind cover better. Havent heard of any balance to this. But I cant see a problem with Multiplayer being full of chicks hehe

Mass Effect 3- with a mega hottie upgrade femShep is also getting the spotlight she deserves with her own ads and commercials.

Tomb Raider- never really been a fan of the series cause of lackluster gameplay. but the prequel/re-imagining has my interest for right now


help me expand the list!

EDIT: added with help

thanks  niwa for
Borderlands- the Siren had an awesome style and was super hot. I cant believe I forgot about her. My friends loved watching me play as her surrounded by flaming aura and flaming wings sprouting from her back.

thanks  kiba for
Resident Evil 5- wasnt a big fan of the series until 4 cause of the gameplay. and then 5 comes around with a playable female partner. and then had two DLC with Jill Valentine playable. pretty awesome.

thanks  kitsunelobo for
Wet- your basically Uma Thurman from Kill Bill but sexier, drink more, and less about revenge and more about kicking ass cause its awesome. I should buy this game.

Valkyria Chronicles- whole series deserves some props for the Valkur. super over powered beings that lie dormant within the genes of females. not to mention a great war plot that puts women center stage though it hasnt yet made them the main character. shame I dont have a ps3 anymore. but I can still enjoy 2 and the upcoming 3 ony my psp ^^

thanks  shadow-paws youve added a lot
Dead Island- imagine Left 4 Dead but with female characters. set on an island resort, a focus on melee combat, and its action RPG. hmm I guess the only thing they have in common is the 4 player co-op and zombies now that I think about it. if the reviews are solid, I will very likely buy this soon as it comes out. if reviews are mediocre I will still likely buy it but once the price drops significantly hehe

Elder Scrolls Skyrim- the series hasnt been known for gender creating much of a difference. but with the upcoming games vastly improved combat among the rest of the enhanced gameplay, certainly can play one badass chick.

Deux EX- while the latest version doesnt let you choose your gender, one of the orginals did. I believe shadow conspiracy. I forget. been awhile. I am so upset your forced to play a guy in latest Deus Ex. something no western RPG should ever force these days.

American McGee's Alice- latest game was lack luster but the original was one mind warping acid trip that shook you to the core.

Fable 2 and 3- ehhhh. in second fable you cant help becoming a gross looking overly muscular manish woman. and in third well the end ruins the game as a whole hehe. not to mention being female really doesnt have much impact on either game accept which randomly generated NPCs you can sleep with. oh and in second game if you had sex with a lesbian you couldnt use protected sex. which meant you always got STDs. wtf?

thanks  batta-kitty for
Heavy Rain- I completely forgot about this game. not having a ps3 anymore will do that. even though you only play as her a third of the game its clear shes a badass reporter who doesnt mind getting dirty to get the story. holy crap are her scenes awesome and often nerve wracking.

Heavenly Sword- another great though way too short ps3 title. leave it to the guy with a ps3 to keep reminding me of awesome exclusive titles hehe.

Lollipop Chainsaw- okay I love grasshopper games. and for them to be making a game with a female lead wielding a chainsaw leaves me very very interested.

thanks  dantethebunny for
Beyond Good & Evil- shiiiiiiit how could I forget Jade? she rocked green like no other. that game was the shit back in the day. I should download the HD update from xbox live sometime.

thanks  tahkashe for
Persona 3 P3P- in the psp version you got to choose your gender. and it actually had an effect on what relationships. and the female main character generally had a friendly bond with your party members than the male. if I didnt already own the ps2 FES version I would consider getting this game.

Saints Row 2- the sequel allowed you to play a female gangster. and while it has no effect on the game. you do get to go around blowing stuff up in lacre hotpants. pretty damn badass
