Why Nintendo call it Game "Boy"?

[The Blue Snowbear]

Hi guys,

So what's your view? Why couldn't it be called Game Girl? I feel growing up it was unfair that my family friends had to play a GameBoy, when they were girls.

Not all women. But me, a girl, likes being a awesome dragon-born warrior. There's nothing wrong with switching up the "roles"

There is nothing wrong with that, neither is there with a girl being a cleric, healer or mage. In fact, Templar and Cleric builds are often more rare when it comes to Skyrim.

Im more of an ESO guy myself

I agree! I think that someone should have the choice to be what they want to be if they want to be it, and feel comfortable in doing so without rejection.

I think there would be more Templars and Clerics if the vigilant of stendarr had a guild with quests but you can join the Dawnguard.

You could start as a vigilant of Stendarr and avenge your guild after the vampires burn the guild.

That would've been cool. The dragon-born could help re-build, sort of like the thieve's guild story line.

I don't think realism in video games has ever been a thing, and it definitely doesn't bother me that my female character in Skyrim is running around in heavy armor beating up...well, everyone. I also don't really care about historically accurate. I play games to have fun, not to have a history lesson.

But I do respect your opinion as well, and I think sometimes games/books/movies/tv go a little bit TOO far in trying to be inclusive to everyone.

But mostly though I just wanted to dispute this notion that all females play 'girl games' and for some reason I've been hearing that a lot lately. Even someone who knew me fairly well the other day was trying to get me interested in a mobile dating sim. :)

Skyrim is the type of game where any character can become a demigod and the combat system isn't the best as the animations are the same regardless of the race or sex of your character. You could play as a big brute of a woman that swings a sword and shouts but how about a lean character that uses alchemy and archery or a mage? How about a medic? That's why Skyrim is excellent, there are many roles to play as. What I am saying is that women don't have to be big brutes that go around beating everyone up, they can be strong as other roles.

Sure, women can be strong in other roles. And what about a man playing a mage or a medic? They can do that too. But I'd rather play the female character with the heavy armor and sword. It's also what I like to typically play when I play Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder tabletop. I'm playing the cleric in one of our Pathfinder games, and I'm pretty well miserable (about to take levels of fighter to try to make that better).

It depends on the individual, really. Everyone is different and has their own tastes. Good example, I have a friend who refuses to play any game if she can't play as a female character (assuming you are supposed to actually play a character). She just does not feel comfortable playing a male character in anything ever. When I found out about that, it was a little surprising to me,but it's really none of my business what she enjoys or does not enjoy playing as.

Personally, I think that's dumb.

I won't call her dumb, but she misses out on a lot of good games for that viewpoint. While if given the option I play female characters, I've also played Geralt in The Witcher, Arthur in Red Dead Redemption 2, multiple men in Assassin's Creed (really happy that with AC Odyssey you can play a female), Takkar in Far Cry Primal. All games that I enjoyed that I would have missed out on if I took that stance.

I think what would work is dynamic muscle growth to represent your character becoming stronger and you have to reach a level to wear and yield swords and armours. I would hope at the least that your character is similar to Brienne of Tarth when it comes to her physique.

Skyrim is often realistic when it comes to races, Nordic and Orcish women yield swords while wood elves yield bows and high elves use magic. Of course, it is rare to see a real woman as strong or muscular as a Nord or Orcish women unless you met a female wrestler or bodybuilder but I'm sure they could yield a sword since the Nords are similar to the Danes and they were more eglatarian with female warriors fighting for their armies.

I didn't know people thought much about "realism" in a video game.

The Fable series tried using that system it had very mixed results and requiring a game to track and reflect it tends to lead to making cuts elsewhere.

The developers of Skyrim did since I don't think there are elves yielding swords and dressed as Nordic warrior women but yes, women would have stronger physiques since they would be training more than modern woman.
