Read my previous posts. The answers to all your questions are there. You choose to ignore my answers or disregard them in favour of your own view instead of actually debating the points. I've used your logic in describing HL2s story and shown its illogical to apply it to any game (or most movies and books actually). Two sentences to describe Breen? Go back to the links; there's an entire article.

I'm going to ask you a question now though (slightly off topic): Which games (in particular those before HL2) have actually dealt with female characters in a way that couldn't be construed as sexist, or playing on "nerd" fantasy? Which have done it in a less sexist way than HL2?

2 more points:

1. I don't remember the Halo story because the whole thing was forgettable for me (preferred Halo 2 but never completed it so can't comment on that either). I'm not going to go into a thread about Halo or start saying the story is bad when I don't have a very informed opinion on the topic.

2. Play Mass Effect 3. Keep or kill the Geth? Nope, doesn't matter at all! You don't have a very informed opinion on the Mass Effect universe either then


Using the links YOU provided I showed how most of the chapters (all but 3 or 4) in Half Life 2 are devoid of any story...You are now just ignoring that point/haven't addressed it whatsoever. How can a game that has such a good storyline have 70% of  it being nothing to do with the story?

Halo deals with women maturely. The female character was just AI. You also haven't commented on the fact that a woman isn't going to fall for a mute after 10 minutes. 

I'm not going to play ME3 because from what I have heard, the storyline is pissed away with it, and that was one of the best things about it. 

You showed material from one of the many articles I linked you. There's a lot more there that you choose to ignore. I've already answered all your questions (including the one about Alyx), whether you choose to accept or disregard them is up to you.

Re-wording the same questions is pretty pointless when the answers are above you.

And Halo deals with women by having the only significant female character as just an AI? Ok, lol. If that's a mature take on a female character then OK. If only all women could be AIs then the world would be a better place! I'm just going to assume you worded that horribly ("the female character was just an AI") rather then having a very strange take on what constitutes a mature female character. The way you worded it could quite easily be construed as sexist, lol.

It's odd how you let others make your mind up for you on ME3. The vast majority of the game is handled in the same manner as ME1 & 2 in terms of story. Only the ending caused controversy and the new one is much better for explanations without changing anything major.
