Most player controlled male lead characters do. Even douchebags like Kratos has a wife. Nathan Drake, every GTA game, Ass Creed etc you name it. (in fact the black chick from ass creed Liberation is like the only one who didn't."

Name a protaganist and chances are he got a girl. Even fucking Spyro and Sonic gets a girl.

But Lara Croft? 15 games and nothing (movies don't count), Jade? Heather? Chell? Bayonetta? Samus Aran? Alice Liddell? Regina? Nilin? Faith? Alloy? Nariko?

The only ones I can think of are cheating, they're characters who were NPCs in a previous game and then became player characters later. Like Sherry Birkin or Yuna. Or if you count them, bioware RPGs where you can create a girl.

And even then usually they don't. Chloe and Harelyquin are now single, Elle and Emily are now lesbians the moment you control them.

Closest I can think of is Life Is Strange where you can push for a boyfriend but the game fights you at every single turn to be a lesbian for some reason.

Did Lightning have a boyfriend? I never played FF whateever she was in.

Do you think this is a psychology thing? Like how in Japan female celebrities have to hide their relationships? Like we value virility in male characters but see it as weakness in female ones?77



Would the next Lara Croft game: Tomb Raider Rises A Little Bit More be less popular if they introduced a guy called Steve and said Lara performs oral sex on him?
