Sex and the Zero Suit: Why Samus was Great Only in Metroid Prime

On point 2, yes, but i remain firm in my assertion that this is strictly a cosmetic matter. Few folks, if anyone, will be motivated strictly by the image itself, but rather by what the image represents. The image is just like an Achievement or a Trophy, fundamentally without substance.

As an aside, that Sith Governor is ripping me a new ass every time i throw myself at him. Is *now* the time i'm supposed to start letting them level? And i felt so proud for beating the assault droid without having to use the computer to disable its shields...

For KotoR: In theory no, but spending your levels will completely heal your character so spend them now if you need to. One at a time. It's a free full heal medkit that ignores the need to be used.

For the topic at hand:

Given that they use Samus's sex as a reward to encourage high-level play in those games, do you acknowledge that we are not rewarded in the same way in Metroid Prime, Echoes, and (mostly) Corruption?

Echoes and Corruption had the reward, if we are to agree that Prime's reward does not objectify Samus in any way. Prime 2 was my first exposure to the Zero Suit, since i never played Zero Mission, so i definitely remember it, and Corruption awarded you with the Zero Suit as well. It's just that their ultimate rewards were sequel hooks in all cases.
