I wouldn't mind seeing more... common women in games. I will say that I rarely see characters who remind me of my female friends, and developers are often so determined to avoid creating some damsel trope that they go way overboard, just giving them a single trait (like being a badass) and pushing it to the extreme. What often results is a completely one dimensional character.

Still, I could say the same about male characters; if a male isn't clearly heroic in most games, he's almost always portrayed as either an evil asshole or an outright coward. There's no middle ground there.
