That avatar is epic.

It's a dagger, or possibly a short sword, they just call it a blade so idk what the designers were going for.

I'd like it a little more if there was actually covering at the back and chest... what you see there are the undergarments >.>

Everyone knows a female character in MMO`s has to be half naked, pretty sure its in the MMO rulebook somewhere lol

Not my personal view, just seems to be a trend.

Y'know that feel when you walk into a dark bathroom, and go to flip the light switch and you miss like 8 times?

Pretty bad sandwich for dinner. Bleh.

Curves ftw

It's a bit more than that.

Most men in video games are large, hard bodied, muscular and brave, while most women are portrayed as soft bodied, half naked / tight clothing (or both), with large breasts most of the time. They're also frequently displayed as objects in need of protection, and the man has to come save her, where men are usually given great power, determination, and strength to overcome everything.

Not all games do this, thankfully, but the majority of them that I see being advertised at least take part in some of it. It really depends on the genre of the game most of the time, but it doesn't have to be the case.

So, if you're looking at all the genres including family friendly then you'll see that it isn't the case. I think advertising is to blame as to why we think most women are dressed inappropriately in games. Not all games advertise a great deal, but the ones that do have to put out material that will bring people in. This includes targeting men by displaying women characters dressed in less clothing that's probably tighter than it should be.

There are still plenty of games that break the stereotype, but they might not be as successful as the ones that use them to their advantage.
