The amazon doesn't moan like a porn star!? You've obvoiusly never used the 'impale' skill or summoned a valkyrie! It's worse than a women's tennis final with Monica Seles (sp?). Anyway, what's KoTOR?
Knights of the Old Republic, the one and only good Star Wars game of recent date. Bioware-made. Fabulous story, pretty eyecandy, excellent characters, and overall the best RPG I've played in years -- the best since BG2, in fact.
And yes, I am a chauvanist. Get back in the kitchen and make me some pie! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> (Glad the wife didn't see me type that...)

That's the point though isn't it? Its not real, not in any sense of the word. This is fantasy, a game and usually the characters are concieved within the mind of a male graphics artist i.e. the women will usually be 'overdone' (male sexual fantasy) and the men will end up hugely muscular. (powertrip fantasy, imaginig themselves in the role) The exception to this is usually the spellcasting genre. I usually play casters as I prefer to have a more 'interesting' game. I am never offended by the warrior characters though. They are just less interesting to me.
You forget one thing. This is not exacty the fantasy genre; it is, in many people's eyes, the
bad fantasy genre. We aren't discussing literary work at the moment, true, but nowadays most readers do count realism in fantasy fiction as a plus, not a minus. From browsing forums, I notice that some gamers do, as well. Distinction of taste, I suppose.
By the way, here's a screenshot of the seraphim and the gladiator:
