I was trying to think of a video game that I felt qualified as "Kickass Female Protagonists!" and all I could come up with were "Well the old Neverwinter Nights* games had useful female chars that sometimes even had cool lines!" and "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" which I spent waaay too much time playing as a youngster. (Also "Where in Time is..." and "Where in the USA is..."
Which of course makes it sad as hell that those are all I can think of despite my years of being submerged in PC games.
*I think this is part of why I go for my RPG's and MMORPG's so much. Sure they tend to still go for the chainmail bikini look for females, but at least I can MAKE THEM BADASS and RP THEM AS BADASS and ignore that a little.... of course then I have to deal with the guys who decide that all female players/players of female characters want to do is cyber, which is creepy as all fuck, but so far rare when it comes to my two main addictions of WoW and City of Heroes/Villains.
