    If women make up around 50% of the people on earth, shouldn’t they make up around 50% of the main characters?

      I think that wanting equality over men/women % of MC is not something you would want to focus on I would rather have a quality story and universe whatever of the gender of the MC.

      ( I will clarify my point , I am an human therefore I am for gender equality obviously but I don’t think that this metric is the most interesting )

        I completely agree that the quality of the story is kinda the whole point, but I am tired of seeing comments like the one RightHand made; complaining that she is a woman just because she is a woman.

          It isn’t a complaint, simply an observation. I usually pick to play as a woman in games I can choose the gender of the protagonist anyway.

            Same. If I’m going to have to look at an ass for 40 hours of gameplay, I’d rather it was a woman’s ass.
