Decline Name one good RPG where you HAVE to play as a female

[Peachcurl]

I support "King's Bounty - Armored Princess". Gud game.

Meaning, the protagonist is female and there is no option to select a male protagonist. I'll wait, because it does not exist.

Sadly, there is an actual instance; Heroine's Quest.

The one that comes to mind is Knights of the Old Republic 2, where you have to play as Mira for a segment if you aren't darkside.

Kotor 2 also has a canonical female protagonist.

Cops 2170
Heroine’s Quest, although it’s an adventure/rpg hybrid ala QfG

You might as well preface 90% of the turn based CRPGs with the information that they are strategy/RPG hybrids.

 

[agris]

A few more:

Dex (it’s actually good)
Cayne (mostly an adventure game)

 

[JarlFrank]

Kingdom Come: Deliverance, A Woman's Lot DLC

 

[HoboForEternity]

Trails in the sky

Does Harvest Moon count as a JRPG? Lots of the games in that series came in "Boy" and "Girl" editions like Pokemon.

Kotor 2 also has a canonical female protagonist.

Lucas's canon was that the Exile traveled with Handmaiden, which is impossible as a woman. Random post-facto crap with no input from Avellone.

If it forces you to play as a female then it can't be a good RPG, by definition.

what if it forces you to play as a male?

Then it's good, by definition.

Not really, but since JRPGs don't count as RPGs, it is besides the point.

Then it has potential.

KOtor 2 feels like it was written for a female character. So far this is the only game in this thread where you just HAVE to play as a female, If i understood the question correctly.

Yes, Kreia.

I disagree. Disciple sucks. You miss out on the perversions of Sion, but you gain the romances of Handmaiden and Visas, Kreia screeching at you not to fuck either, Mira saying she's not interested in having girlfights over you, the jilted femcel screeching of Atris. Avellone wrote for both genders.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

The question is GOOD rpgs, that excludes Septerra Core.

The hell? I don't remember KotOR 2 being a harem anime. What got into Chris that day? I thought he hated romance.

Drop a planet, chop 1 or 2 levels off of Peragus, drop the Disciple and Hanharr, and then use that energy to focus more on Malachor V. I would also remove all party-splitting mechanics (which while true to the franchise, didn’t go over well with players), and de-emphasize all cut-scenes (which the engine couldn’t really do well in the time provided with the programming and scripting support we had available).

Totally agree with MCA. When replaying Kotor 2 Peragus is a main stumbling block as it drags way too much. Drop in content and quality is noticeable from Telos > Nar-Shaddaa > Dxun-Onderon > Dantooine > Korriban > disastrous Malachor 5.
Avellone's romances are much more subtle than Bioware's. Handmaiden and Visas being jealous over you is funny, just as Atton asking Bao-Dur about female Exile. Mira felt Exile was too old for her liking.
Too bad Obsidian cut Jedi Vash on M4-78 planet.

I want a Lara Croft RPG

Kind of like Witcher where you have a set protagonist, but play as Lara and have the option to fuck guys to solve quests like in Fallout 2

Planescape Torment was Archie with Betty and Veronica. Avellone liked the tease, he disliked the consummation (one of those guys against the idea of Sam and Diane getting together in Cheers). The most you can do with Handmaiden is fight (which is like foreplay to her). The most you can do with Visas is meditate together (which is like mental sex to her). No kissing.

Damn, Avellone is more than I thought
