Samus as number one? lol?
Anyway, I don't like these lists in general but Bridget from Guilty Gear should be number one even though he's not even a woman cause the character represents the best mockery of the whole thinking video game women are sexy by being a crossdressing boy in a nun outfit...
You forgot two things with a game like WoW specifically. If you are a female character in WoW you are more likely to get help/stuff from people in the game (for the reason that maybe some people assume you're a girl or something lol)
Second, I don't buy the simple explanation about guys prefer looking at a girls' behind rather than a guy's and that's why they are choosing to be female characters. It has something to do with what looks cooler.
As an example, a female night elf rogue in WoW looks a lot cooler than a male one and thus is a cooler character that is more appealing to choose. On the other hand, you rarely ever see female orcs because they look like a joke character...
Since a game like WoW has a lot to do with gearlust (getting high level gear that adds to your character and makes him/her look better and 'cooler') people do tendo to choose class/race combos based on what they think looks cooler a lot of the times.
WoW players should know what I'm talkng about. But yes, video games are definitely packed with stereotypical sexy female characters, that's why Bridget the crossdressing nun is so awesome, if you didn't know the background story, he would make a list of 'hot' video game characters but it's a guy lol...
Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
