(no subject)
I went to PAX on Sunday -- decided it was about time I see what Aaron's been doing there as an Enforcer for the past 6 years. It was a little overwhelming, but a fun time. I spent most of the time on the show floor, wandering around, but they have a Diversity Lounge, so I made it a point to stop by there. One of the people there was an ethicist who was asking people to write on sticky notes what they think made a good female charpacter in games, and what made a good male character. I found it an interesting exercise, trying to find specific qualities that were meaningful to me.
So I'm curious -- what qualities do you think make for an interesting female character? What about a male character? Do you find one easier to define than the other? Do you think there's a different in what qualities matter in video games versus in other media, such as fiction?
(I'm deliberately not putting my own answers in yet -- I'll share after some other folks have posted, if anyone does.)
