Of female characters in RPG's

[Lord_Potato]

I always have a female character in my party... well, I mean someone has to cook during camping

Not only that - those bedrolls around the campfire won't warm themselves.

That's why I usually keep same number of men and women in my parties - to keep the opportunities equal.

 

[Fargus]

And I wouldnt play RPG if there were no women because it would be so unrealistic

You didn't play Gothic? Except for two female sex slaves sent to the colony from the outside for the leader of the Old Camp, the game is completely, unapologetically homosexual.

Gothic was a homophobia simulator considering how much beating you deliver to npcs in the Colony. Makes the game even more based imo.

Then again...

Someone at PB was really into big black dudes.

I like them humble, likeable, preferably as secondary characters and with fitting gender roles, without warrior women bullshit etc. Even better if they don't have much agenda in the plot like it was in Gothic games or KCD.

someone obviously didn't play a certain DLC.

Sexualization is not that important to me, as long as they are feminine and not purpously ugly for the sake of what some landwhale or faggot on HRT perceives as "realistic portrayal of women". But i enjoy a fine pair of titties, great ass and sweet face like most here.

Wymminz Lot? I actually did play it after recommendation of my czech friend and also for achievements. But i didn't like it. At first it was fun, because i've done everything to turn Theresa into a backstabbing scumbag, messed with Henry's gf like a petty and jealous cunt etc. But later on i took out half of the kumans with the help of a dog and it fell apart . It was not well designed dlc.

And the worst thing was that

Spoiler

motherfuckers killed off Theresa's dog

However it's funny if you consider this dlc a tale Theresa made up to impress Henry.

This is a function of STR, not INT.

You do understand that this bullshit has now resulted in the Medical Professional Organizations in charge of certifying doctors being run by people who deny that there is any inherent difference among groups *at all* and forbidding any research/canceling any doctors who claim otherwise for any purpose?

I suggest you reread my post.

The thing with archery is that holding the weight of the draw with the correct posture is essential to being able to aim properly. I used to shoot selfbows as a hobby as a kid and my issue was maintaining stability in my arm as the sessions dragged on. Dexterity is only really required for fitting the arrow to the string quickly. The rest is actually intelligence-based which is judging distance, wind, arc etc.

I said that the rest (judging distance, wind and arc) is INT based, as in that which is not STR-based (stability, posture and draw) or Dex-based (speedily nocking the arrow). Archery is STR > INT > DEX.

Theresa's part is okay, it kind of proves women are not meant for melee combat except for backstabbing, but true gold hides in the second part of the dlc: Johanka's story.

I completely forgot it was a part of the same dlc. It's where Johanka faces trial? From what i remember it was nice quest, lots of options in dialogue, multiple endings.

 

[perfectslumbers]

I don't care if women have 18 strength or whatever. I just want them to be well written and convincing.

 

[Arbiter]

Lots of Russo-Ukrainian war thread veterans are active in this thread. A clear sign that nothing important is happening on the front.

Yes. It's exceptionally good for its rpg part. Your chances of success in defending Johanka during the trial rely on your investigative activities, stats like charisma, books you've read, past deeds (like sleeping with one of the witnesses) and a few other variables.

And it also shows a well-written female character not in traditional role given to her by the medieval society, but also not falling into some modern tropes (with the exception of damsel in distress perhaps).

We also play games outside of being war veterans

I wish that thread would be locked and sent to retardo land.

Agreed and hot Romance options, dont forget that

Nah, besides you comment on it so it cant be that bad ?

 

[FriendlyMerchant]

Whatever Champions of Norath does on this front is perfect

Firiona Vie is the Marilyn Monroe of late 90s/ early 00s MMORPG scene. She was on every Everquest advertisement and expansion pack cover. Whenever someone mentions Everquest, usually the first thing comes to mind is that hot blonde elven chick.

Wish they still make some games sets in Everquest world. I prefer it to Warcraft, from a worldbuilding / aesthetics point of view.

Her counterparts are also exciting

 

[NecroLord]

Since you spoke about bows KörangarTheMighty ,Strength was also used for Composite Longbows and shortbows(you used your Str modifier for damage) in D&D 3e and 3.5(don't know about AD&D). It makes sense,you also need hand-eye coordination(dexterity),good vision and upper body strength.

A great deal of women warriors in the traditional fantasy have their melee prowess and other powers granted to them supernaturally or by deities.
Red Sonja for example.
Also a reminder that women who are into bodybuilding,weightlifting and other sports usually associated with men do not really look all that feminine... just take a look at women's bodybuilding.

 

[abnaxus]

 

[NecroLord]

She definitely was a rogue type character.
More finesse,speed and infiltration rather than brute force or muscle.
Conan is also portrayed this way in Robert E. Howard's work. He is a man of many skills,not a mindless berserker.

 

[HereticGuy]

Ah, Valeria was awesome in Conan the Barbarian. Beautiful and deadly. In Conan the Destroyer though, we had this :

Yeah, the second movie sucks ass (except Basil Poledouris' original soundtracks)

Red Sonja for example.

I love Red Sonja comics ,be it from 70s Marvel or mid 00s Dynamite comics. Anything after 2013 is complete dogshit though; she can't wear her iconic chainmail bikini anymore. Bah!

Although I love Sonja, her comics are poorly written when you compare it Roy Thomas & John Buscema's Conan comics. At first I thought it's beacuse she is gifted from a goddess and that makes her a Mary Sue. But in Greek mythology there are literal gods and demigods that have well told tragic stories. So I can't tell what makes Red Sonja comics inferior to Conan's.

Have you ever been inside a gym?

Actually,yes. Weightlifting is one of my favourite sports(MMA is at the top). When I was a kid,my old man used to take me to a gym(not very big,but it was serviceable) where he trained regularly. He still trains by the way. I am not doing it as much as I should unfortunately.

 

[KateMicucci]

Maybe it's different in your country, but my experience is that every woman who enters the weight room is a babe. The fatties are all in the spin class. Women who lift weights look healthier and prettier, unless they've cut bodyfat too low (visible abs) or they're taking male hormones, or they're Olympic lifters in the highest bodyweight class, but those are tiny minorities. The natural healthy female bodyfat level is so high that they can be packing huge guns under all their arm flab without their arms looking manly.

 

[Arbiter]

I don't care as long as they wear sandals or other revealing footwear (or none at all)

Have you been watching House of Dragon: https://www.elle.com/culture/movies-tv/a41651192/house-of-the-dragon-foot-scene-larys-alicent/ ?

Nice, gotta find a download (I don't pay for streaming services, it's an inherently evil business model)

Professional female athletics self selects heavily for hormonal imbalances. A woman with PCOS will generally perform better than a woman who's perfectly healthy. If someones idea of a woman into bodybuilding and weightlifting is formed by seeing professionals, that would affect their perception since they usually have higher testosterone without any doping.

Heeeeeeyyy, women with visible abs are my favorite!

 

[santino27]

Female bodybuilders are a tiny percentile of females who lift weights, with the former group often losing some or all of their feminine physical characteristics (unless they get implants) and the latter generally just being in good shape.
