Your favorite female character of this generation
- Thread starter butman
- Start date
Probably Sadie Adler, but I love a load of the OW cast, namely Sym, Tracer, Widow, Zarya, Moira, and Ana.
Maria looked cool, but I used the cane, so I just stunlocked her to death, so I missed out on whatever assume fight was supposed to be there =/

It's Tressa from Octopath Traveler.
Most people say they liked Primrose's story best, but I much preferred Tressa's. She's a capable merchant, traveling to hone her craft and learn, she's full of compassion and very smart. I liked her as a character a lot, despite the fact that Octopath never really goes deep into characterizations or interactions.
I'm sure there's cooler options than her, but I did really like her as a female character that doesn't have to resort to violence or "female charms" to achieve success, and isn't involved in any romantic subplot to gain some depth. I guess that's one advantage that Octopath has, the barebone story at least isn't trying to force any character development through love on her. It's rare to see such humble characters, it's also why I liked Alfyn a lot in the game.

Yeah Billie Lurk and Mae are probably my favorite as well.Another vote for Billie Lurk. Fantastic character.
Mae is also fantastic
Also really like Xoti and Maia from Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire a lot.
Lady Maria is a badass. I also really like Ciri. She is so nice to people and is a badass at the same time.
Haha. Well, you got pretty much my exact list. Not played Celeste yet, but looking to rectify that soon!Susie from Deltarune is my #1.
Madeline from Celeste, Mae from Night in the Woods, and Undyne from Undertale are up there too.
Chloe Elizabeth Price, first of her name
Susie from Deltarune is my #1.
These four, along with:
Kathy Rain, from her own game
Fran Bow,. likewise:
Lohse from DOS2:
And Saturn from Heaven Will Be Mine:
I completely forgot about Senua. The narrative combined with the audio make that game much better than the sum of its parts.
I had been planning to say Madeline, but Tressa is a strong contender as well.

THANK YOU!!
It's either Ana from Overwatch or Cassie Cage. Love both of their personalities and styles of gameplay.
Oh, also all the girls in Oxenfree. They were pretty cool.

Makoto Niijima from Persona 5. I related to her in a lot of ways like her doing what is expected of her and being focused on doing well at school despite being unsure in what she is actually working towards. She wants to break out of her shell and I love her Persona awakening scene.
No ones mentioned it so I'm putting forth Catherine Chun from Soma felt like a very real and fully realised character. Had a lot of depth to her and a clear unique type of personality we rarely get in characters in general.
After that it's Chloe from Life is Strange. Then Chloe from Uncharted.

I judge all of you who seriously pick 2B out of all the women in this generation . She's not even the best female character in Nier Automata.
So many to choose from...
2B?
Aloy?
Menat?
I'm thinking 2B. Nier Automata is an obsession of mine and 2B is too awesome.

Mae's a queer screw-up trying to recapture some normalness in her life and she's one of the most relatable characters in video games, for better or worse. Some people hate this character (and often by extension Night in the Woods itself) specifically because she reminds them of their own worst times, and sparking that kind of passion is only indicative of how good a character she is, as far as I'm concerned. She will blurt out bizarre things, she will trap the player in a corner where there are no "good" dialogue options, she will make a fool of herself, and she will fall apart. But sometimes that's just what being a mentally ill 20-year-old college dropout is like.
Sae Niijima from Persona 5, for the unaware.
Others include:
Makoto, Tae and Kawakami (also from Persona 5)
2B, A2 and 6O from Nier Automata
Max, Chloe, Victoria and Joyce from Life is Strange
Lunafreya and Aranea from Final Fantasy XV
Quiet from Metal Gear Solid V
Olivia from Pokemon Sun & Moon
Makoto and Marina from Yakuza 0
Jade, Veronica and Serena from Dragon Quest XI
Kat from Gravity Rush
Urbosa from Breath of the Wild
The entire ARMS roster (That's Ribbon Girl, Min Min - my personal fav, Mechanica, Twintelle, Lola Pop and Dr. Coyle)
I already loved Morrigan's personality in Dragon Age Origins, her relationship and commentaries when partied with Alistair was pretty funny, it's only normal for her to be my favorite woman in this generation too.
Bioware better bring her back for the next Dragon Age.
I'm talking about the top character. Makoto ain't it. Max is.
It'd be:
- Max
- Makoto
- Kaede
