Having the female form is not sexualization
Her proportions are slightly exaggerated. I'm not saying it's the most egregious example in the world, but it is definitely slightly sexualized.

What games actually have badass female characters that aren't lolis or sexualized?

It is still in front while at rest but looks like it could be behind too.
She is fully clothed. More than fully clothed. Is it because she has hips?

Did I say anything about how clothed she was?
Isn't that what a Loli isOne of the more recent examples that comes to mind for me is Veronica from Dragon Quest XI. She is an adult with the appearance of a little girl, which might raise some "ackshually she's a 1000 year old dragon" red flags... but she isn't remotely sexualized.
You're going to have to elaborate on this one. If anything, after removing the Tracer pose early on that caused some slight controversy before OW came out, I'd say Tracer isn't even remotely sexualized. Her proportions are hardly exaggerated either.

Lolis are little girls (actual or "1000-year-old dragons") that are sexualized, so no. Veronica is not a loli.
Faith Connors from Mirror's Edge
In a thread full of anime nerds I just wanna say yall alright 😁
I miss my girl, Faith.
Emma Honeywell from The Last Remnant. Bonus point for being allowed to be an older woman too.
Real TLR Spoiler: Many many minus points for being killed off just to be replaced by her daughter..
No. She's not.
Confirmed lolis
Not a loli
Learn the difference it can save your life.
Litteraly actually. That last one in red will not hesitate to gut you like a fish if you are her target. She is also a contender for this thread in her own right. BB hood from DarkStalkers
Queen Meve on the first page, hell yeah!
Someone I haven't seen mentioned yet is Yennefer from Witcher 3.
I wish I could also include Ciri but it's pretty clear CDPR took some liberties with her outfit.
Jill Valentine. <3
She needs to appear again post RE5 in the timeline, but she is so damn good in RE3R.

With the way most anime and game communities are so insisistent on calling any young looking girl a loli, sexualized or no, I think you can forgive the people who collapse "loli" with "underage anime girl".
Yeah Kassandra is fantastic, definitely one of my favorites as well.I think kassandra might be my favorite character of this generation, an absolute sassy badass that takes shit from no one.
From what I've seen so far Valhalla's Eivor is not nearly as great but after Odyssey I'll definitely check her out first, they messed up the naming and chose a gendered name so living in the area means playing with a bearded macho man with a woman's name if I choose the male character.
Alisaie, FFXIV, post ARR.
100% agree. After about a month long binge and halfway through shadow bringers, I'd argue this could apply to all of the girl scions personally. All of them are great characters and easily complete bad asses in their own rights. A lot of the important characters in 14 trade being my favorite character of the game lol.
(Stormblood) I guess you could argue Lyse is a bit sexualized, but it didn't come off as gratuitous personally and she's excellent regardless.

I love the Aloy mention from Horizon Zero Dawn. One character I personally find to be redeemed and far better off than the older iterations is the current reboot of Lara Croft. I love her so much and it is this Lara Croft that finally got me to play Tomb Raider and beat the trilogy for it. She's so much cooler, and overall an amazing character to me.

You beat me to it. I was going to say reboot Lara Croft. She is so much better now and I hope she will continue to do so.I love the Aloy mention from Horizon Zero Dawn.

Nilin, from the extremely underrated classic Remember Me. That whole game was filled with badass non-sexualised women, as heroes, allies, and villains.
I'm begging everyone who hasn't played it to seek it out, but to play it with subtitles and the original French audio because the English dub sucked the life out of it.

Ever since Life is Strange blew me away, I've been meaning to go back and play that. Somehow I own it on Steam... is the PC version any good?
I've played a bit on PC. Runs and looks great. Even with RTGI Reshade. Native controller support as well as Ultrawide I believe.
The other poster addressed the PC technical stuff, I played it on PS3 after getting it free with PS+ and figuring I had nothing to lose giving it a playthrough. It got 3/5 scores and a very sniffy reception which I find baffling. The world, the backstory, the SOUNDTRACK (omg the soundtrack), the memory mixing... there's so much good stuff here.
I repeat, it's the English dub that killed it. The main actress is fine, but all the rest suck. But it's a French game, set in a dystopian post-apocalyptic (climate change) Paris, and in the original French audio there is poetry here.
I went in with no expectations at all, but with two full playthroughs (and a planned 3rd) this is on my top ten games of all time. Set yourself aside a weekend and treat yourself to it. I was the opposite from you, I was on Life is Strange day one (loved it) *because* of Remember Me.
She is definitely sexualized. The cover art is really bad and her outfit with Hotpants and stockings for a police officer is mäh.
I really like this design. She looks comfortable and dangerous, like a veteran who has made a lot of trade-offs over the years between protective armour, movement, weight and comfort, ending up with a detailed, layered design. Like, I look at her and think 'that's some sort of swordmaster who has likely been in a lot of fights and won them in order to settle on that compromise of kit.' Which matches the character perfectly. I think she'd be cool with a scabbard rather than that little pouch on her belt for her sword but I get why designers don't often add them if they are a pain to animate.Emma from The Last Remnant is awesome. She deserves her own game.
Reminds me of Titania from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, where there's a ton of layers and detail and sweeping lines that give a recognisable silhouette and tell you she's some sort of combination of knight, noblewoman and veteran fighter without needing to have some weird mishmash of plate armour and lingerie.
Titania
Titania is a playable character from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She is the vice-captain of the Greil Mercenaries that is led by Greil and later Ike. She serves as an adviser to Ike and often expresses views that clash with those of his close friend and...
