    Yes, except for me it’s like, Mercy/Juno type characters. I don’t enjoy being some masculine femme fatale or hyper ultra murder man, I like feminine characters. Valve has women in Deadlock but they’re all written to fit a certain concept of power fantasy killing machine and I just do not vibe with that. Give me Princess Peach, Samus, Yoshi or Inklings any day over these edgy murderers.

    I think they’re writing well for the setting they’ve created but there is no room for cute characters in the film noir setting. It’s very limiting. The only feminine characters that are ever portrayed in this setting are damsels in distress with an erotic accent that are rescued by the male protagonists. I’m sort of fine with these characters too but you can’t make a playable character from that concept.
