Another elf, this one with a slightly modern flair.

“Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor” got the BoingBoing nod yesterday. I swear I’ve seen a similar collection before, but it looks like this came about two weeks ago. Ah well, it’s a sweet gallery worth a look.
In other news, anyone frustrated that there’s no Skyrim trailer showing a female fighter in gameplay? One thing I loved about Oblivion was the fantastic, realistic armor sets for women, and I can’t wait to see what they’ve done for the next installment. Positively giddy!
The closest things they’ve posted so far don’t really do it justice:

Of course, whatever armor they go with, I both anticipate and dread looting and trucking the 1000s of sets of it back to the vendor to cash in for gold. Sigh. I spend less of the game being an Epic Fighter!!! and more being a pack mule.

What if game companies featured female characters in their marketing campaigns instead of always defaulting to male? The player chooses everything, why not represent that instead of ALWAYS going with the dude on the cover?

Look at this! It’s amazing! It’s just as gorgeous as the original and still makes me want to play the game.

I totally concur. I just watched the 20 minutes of gameplay footage posted last week (looks sweeeeeet) and was bemoaning that it’s all with the one dude with the horn helmet. I would have dug seeing the difference in movement of a female character, or even the fight style of the non-human races like an Argonian or Kahjit.

Still, so stoked!
