I'm fine with that. Why do we have to keep them low profile? Doesn't really matter. I don't even really think about that when I play. Also, it's not like the female character ever has to "save her lover" like most male characters. Either she's saving the world or saving a child. I think this is done because devs know there are some dudes who just can't play a girl who's saving her boyfriend/husband. I think that's kind of silly. I mean, how come we accept sexy Androids and bikini-clad Knights but can't accept a girl main character who can be a real soldier in an actual military uniform. |
Because actual military uniforms in games are boring and lacks character from a story standpoint. But to address the spirit of your statement, there's Shepard from ME even though that was last gen. There are also a plethora of female "respectable" dressed characters in both Dynasty and Samurai Warriors. And then you have the Atelier series I mentioned earlier. And didn't somene else mentioned Mirror edge? They might not be in "uniform," but they aren't being "exploited" either.
EDIT: And let me also add that most male character a buffed beefcakes. We accept that.
