You only ever see her in her armor, but Sloane from Destiny 2 always seems muscular to me. Plus her armor has those WH40K esque seals on her pauldron. Basically I just think Sloane is cool. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Buff women in video games [Mark Story Spoilers not related to Character Design]
- Thread starter Adulfzen
- Start date
Not as buffed as other examples but I like Kait's muscles in Gears 5:
Pretty good shoulder muscles and those forearms, just wow.

Terrible design overall (but it's Xenoblade 2, so what you gonna do), but I guess this counts?

I was going to post this. She definitely got some muscle mass on her.
The Boss is literally the same size as Big Boss and put a whuppin' on his ass during the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater.
Meryl was a straight up G in MGS4. Such an opposite to Johnny's goofy ass.
Sona - War-chief from Horizon Zero Dawn. Varl & Vala's mom.
If Abby is not in a hypothetical 3rd game I won't play it.
Or I will play it but when it's discounted.
Well...I will play it on release day but I will be mad.

Obviously, those pics are always a little modified, but yes, this is her :
I read Hittin' fucks and was very confused. I now see that it says Hit n' licks and I am still confused.Obviously, those pics are always a little modified, but yes, this is her :
There should be plenty of Fire Emblem examples here besides Rinkah. Off the top of my head:
- Titania
- Echidna
- Probably Thunder Catherine
- Effie
- Nailah
- Vaida
- Jill
- Maris
- Flavia
- Hinoka
- Charlotte
- Mathilda?
Problem is a lot of them are in armor so who knows. There's probably more.

Can I get a call out for women with hairy armpits too, don't think I've seen a single one since Olga from metal gear sold 2. I thought for sure last of us part 2 would have because, you know, who's got time to shave ya pits in that situation.
Yep ! If anything, I like her design more than all the the other posted here :
Unless it was just weird shadows, Dina had hair on her arm pits.
I just want to give another shout out out to Sakura Oogami from DanganRonpa 1.
She's the only female muscular character that I like and I feel most Dangan Ronpa fans would agree that she is hands down one of the best characters in the series.
I'm not really a fan of muscles on people of any gender - I actually have a huge problem with males being to muscular in most character creators I use.

A lot of these posts seem to fall into slender and toned rather truly buff.
Abby feels different from a lot of the actual buff women in games.(you have some like Kassandra who I'm not talking about) Generalizing here but for the most part you got two categories.
Sexy muscular: they're essentially a curvy goddess, big boobs, and a great face, they feel more fetishistic.
HULK muscular: the whole gimmick is them being monstrously inhumanly big, like Sakura from Danganronpa, they're so big it becomes more of a joke.
Are some are a mix of the two.
Abby falls into neither, she's not some super goddess model to gawk at, she's broad shouldered and rather plain faced but she's also not some joke Ronnie Coleman monster character. I see Meryl from MGS4 as one of the few who's like Abby in that they're very broad shouldered and more top heavy without being crazy over the top.

Yep, that's not standard and definitely requires a workout way more than some push ups twice a week.
Abby is legit one of the more badass video game characters in recent memory.Yep ! If anything, I like her design more than all the the other posted here :
You got that right.
I honestly liked her character more than Joel and Ellie combined. That's how much I loved her character.
Honestly I see girls that look like Abby all the time at work (near a gym), it seems pretty realistic for girls who w decent amount.
Obviously I think the only reason it's weirding people out is as others have said she's not dressed like they expect woman to be. Dark clothing, not forced to put on a smile, etc.

Haha, I was gonna say! Noi fucking rules.(also how can you post her but not Noi)
Buff/big women are super cool and games need more of them.
I feel a bit bothered by this slight towards Sakura.
While Danganronpa is hardly a bastion of realism, the fact that Sakura is supposed to be "The Ultimate Martial Artist" lends some credence towards her size.
More importantly the game never treats her like a joke - her personality is actually one of the most human and realistic in the series, while managing to be a very strong willed person with a subtle feminine streak.
Ultimately I always portrayal is a bigger factor then design for characters, which makes Sakura quite beloved regardless of how you view her design.
oh she's very real. i've seen her before. they're rare, but they do exist. i had an ex-gf that looked similar, except somehow with even closer to chun li than her! :D
She's a titan, that automatically adds +5 buff-ness to her. It's the only way you can carry those shoulder pads.You only ever see her in her armor, but Sloane from Destiny 2 always seems muscular to me.

Literally everyone I would've said has been said (Dragon's Crown's Amazon, BotW's Urbosa, Danganronpa's Sakura etc.), so here's Kum from Guilty Gear Xrd.
It's not really Asura's Wrath shout-out. It's basically a shout-out to Indian Gods and Goddess (which is where Asura's Wrath drawings inspiration from as well, and Asura means demon in Sanskrit/Hindi) and that makes sense because Amara's basically Borderland's universe's version of I

Came here to post about The Boss. Her concept art is 🔥.
I'm not talking about her character I'm talking about her design, the whole joke is that she looks like some intimidating inhuman monster person but is actually very sweet and thoughtful. It's not meant to be a slight towards the writing of the character, it's acknowledging her design is completely over the top to the point you can't take it seriously. It's not inherently bad, it's inline with the general over the top ridiculousness of the games.
You know what's up!The best.
If you are playing AVP and not using her then you are playing it wrong and I feel bad for you.
That moveset is amazing.
Huh.Literally everyone I would've said has been said (Dragon's Crown's Amazon, BotW's Urbosa, Danganronpa's Sakura etc.), so here's Kum from Guilty Gear Xrd.
Gotta unpack what I'm looking at here
