User blog:Jonggonzales1/Dragon's dogma: Prettiest female character creation ever ?

Dragon's Dogma allows you to custom create some of the prettiest character models on this generation of console games... and that is one of the main reasons I love it so much.

As a heterosexual male gamer since 1984 on the Atari 2600, I've enjoyed the increasingly sophisticated ability to create my own custom made character in RPGs and open world games. Since I like to spend 50+ hours on a game I like (even after I've beaten it), I want to create a character I like looking at for that length of time. Specifically, I want to create pretty female characters with armors and outfits made for the female gender in mind, not just slight modifications of male designated armor and outfits.

I don't mean to sound like a misogynist or anything (I am quite the opposite I think). But I have grown increasingly fond of strong sexy female characters in American popular culture, like Milla Jovovich in the Resident evil series,  the black samurai chick on Walking dead, or Kate Beckinsale in everything. I wanna be a pretty girl AND kick ass (in video games) ! I respect women but I also REALLY like looking at them too (like any straight guy would, right ?) !

Does that make me gay or effeminate ? What about the way we've made female gamers play as male characters for most of video gaming history ? I think we are well past the point in American society that your gaming avatar should say anyhting about you at all. Sometimes you wanna be Blanka, sometimes you wanna be Chun Li.

But I digress... Dragon's dogma, like Saint's row 3 and 4 get a lot of replay on my XBox 360 because I feel they really get this element right. However good a game is, I just don't wanna be an ugly guy or homely girl. I want my avatar to be a sexy female asskicker ! I smile every time my level capped female Arisen takes out Death or Daimon wearing only silk lingerie and a White Hawk Talon sword. Is that so wrong ?
