OP N1K Leonhart
Maybe not the protagonist but I'd defiantly play an entire mission with her as your character. Hell, give Blue Team a mission each to their own, let them show off what they're best at.GreenleafCM wrote:Kelly-087 as the main protagonist for 'Halo 6'!...hey, I can dream can't I? ;)
In all seriousness though, OP, I do agree it is high time we had a female character frontrunning a Halo game. The gaming industry is slowly but surely shaking off the "boys only" visage - and in the wake of success stories like 'Horizon Zero Dawn' and 'Dishonored 2', it wouldn't be out of the question for Halo to follow suit.

Give me someone like an Ellen Ripley rather than a Rey.

That's probably actually the purest way to implement a female protagonist, I think. Instead of saying "we have a female protagonist, let's re-examine our story and modify it to accommodate that" they should just say "let's swap the gender on the player character." No extra thought or motivation required, far less opportunity to somehow inject gender politics into the game.EMPEROR NOVA01 wrote:I can agree to having a female main character... but the way you've worded your post makes me feel like they'd be female just for the sake of being female.

The problem here is that this accusation is going to be made no matter what. It was made for Rey even though you'd swear she isn't a Mary Sue or inserted just because of gender politics. Even Locke, Vale, and Tanaka (and not Buck imagine that) were accused of being SJW-bait by idiots. I just never take this argument about "forced diversity" seriously because of this.HD Simplicityy wrote:I'd be interested in this, but they really need to be a character that takes the mantle of leader of the series. Master Chief is so recognizable that if Kelly or Veta or Linda become lead, it would feel forced UNLESS THERE'S A SPECIFIC REASON FOR IT.
I want to second the comment on Horizon Zero Dawn. Aloy is a great main character. I'm over thirty hours in the game and the more I get to know Aloy the more I really enjoy her as the feet and eyes on this journey Guerrilla Games gave us. Female characters in leading roles can be great. Just as long as they're not forced in because of aligning with ridiculous gender politics. Also Rey is great. She's not a Mary Sue. Having a Rey/Aloy/Ellen Ripley main character, unique in their ways but a successful successor to Chief IF that happens would be interesting.
