On the one hand, I completely 100% fucking agree.

On the other hand, the examples you picked... don't dismiss Dishonored or Bioshock just because of that. It's going to take a while before gender equalizes in the industry; you might as well enjoy the games we have now.

I concur. I am getting so fucking sick of the dark-haired 30-something white male protagonist that I could cry, but I won't punish devs who are still trying to make good games. What I will do, is buy at full price those AAA devs who dare to break the mould.

....If, you know, that ever happens.

(Seriously I would take a fucking ginger at this point. At least that would be something.)

I've never played Bioshock past the first hour, but Dishonored's gender issues are honestly pretty cringe-worthy. (Lady Boyle. Jesus fucking Christ, that's the "good" path?) It's a decently-written game in a lot of respects, but if OP's already pissed off about the roles assigned to or denied women in the typical action game, dismissing it's probably the best thing for their blood pressure.

I never really saw the non-lethal solution for Lady Boyle to be the "good path" -- it's certainly a creepy moment and adds quite a bit to the moral greyness of the game, but I think the point of Dishonored is that there kind of is no true good path.

(Anonymous) 2012-12-11 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
None of the 'good' paths are actually good. Although Lady Boyle was certainly the worst of the 'good' paths.

I prefer to quickly kill her. I won't get a clean run, but I'll still get low chaos.
