Hi Tali,
nice to know I'm the youngest in this circle (this thread), for a change.
I'm 37, female and an avid gamer, though I don't at all care for consoles, because pc players are sold out because of them, but that's another story. I also often notice with great sadness, that a lot of game companies just seem to not acknowledge there are female players at all, regardless of age. And when you see such a male-only-rpg like i.e. Risen and read the credits, you see there aren't even any women on the dev team. Which explains a lot, lol.
DD2 is nice enough in that respect, but it could do with a couple more girls on the team *g*. You can see that they clearly appeal more to the boys. Like the female animations are very cute, but if you tried to run like that, you'd likely need a new hip in no time, lol. As I said, totally cute (I do apprechiate a nice butt in front of me), but alas, they didn't think to give as much consideration to the male animations. The guys are awkward and not so much fun to play with. They could be hunkier, right? The gender switching option is still fun and a very good idea!
Am I getting off track here? Sorry. But whaddaya say, we'll show 'em girl power in gaming.
