Favorite female characters in games?

[Audie_Carpenter]

If you're talking about a woman that doesn't act tough but is tough and you're playing Ghost of Tsushima, don't forget Lady Masako Adachi!

I fuckin' hate her lol. She ALWAYS ruins a lead. So often that she does this that I just don't care about her mission 'cause the outcome will be the same as all previous outcomes. If she could just for ONCE let the suspect talk, just talk, we can then strike the murderer without raising any flags to alert the person to escape justice. No. She breaks down every time when the co-conspirator is a second, A SECOND, away from telling the name of the killer. She's emotionally broken, which is understandable. But, damn, let a guy say something at least. Yuna didn't give Jin any problem like Masako.

A.B.A. from Guilty Gear, but that is because she resonated quite alot with me during a difficult time. Same goes for the Fiend from Junipers Knot, but that is a visual novel that stretches the definition of 'game'.

I like Meredith. I remember she having a tatoo called "Never again" in promotional materials. I thought we are going explore her backstory just like we did with Jutta, Sasha & Keira in Witcher 3. Instead it's just a short sex scene. I don't mind having sex in Cyberpunk. IMO there's very little mature content than I thought. But you need to provide context to those scenes. Otherwise it's just fan service without any real meaning.

Surprised no one mentioned Samara so far or even Morinth especially considering that Morinth offered the most "satisfying" ending to the ME trilogy with Death by Snu Snu.

Not exactly Waifu material like most of the other characters mentioned in this thread but probably one of the best written ones in gaming history Kreia.
