Female companions in video games

How do you think female companions should be best portrayed in vidya? Do you prefer to have sex with them or romantic relationship? Do you think they deserve to be immortal cock sleeves?
Or we grew up from that already and a companion needs to be a pack mule like in skyrim?

Well thats one I rarely see.

Op confirmed soyboy hipster. women belong in the kitchen making food for me and my children.

Taking a wife in Mount and Blade Warband. This is how it should be, your wife is actually useful and helps you manage your estates. They're also a pain in the ass to obtain, fucking cock teases. But at least they're good at they're jobs unlike in most games.

I don't think this is how it works OP…

The bitch is cute. Especially when playing as a high elf and looking down on her struggling to keep her head looking upwards to me. Manlet dark elves, when they will learn?

What did he mean by this?

I meant that its only two themes in RPGs for female companions - romantic interest with single sex scene or a pack mule. No real character development or deep interaction with a companion as a person.

thats not how any of this works, has ever worked and will ever work

Have you only played Skyrim and Bioware RPGs?

...

Name your game then.

Confirmed for being too mentally defective to know what beauty is.

Geneforge 3

nigger if you play gayrim at least install some mods to make the female characters look better

and how the fuck would you do that? First off all, these games are not dating sims, but more importantly that shit is complex as fuck.

Says a man who posts a video with messed up nipple texture, because outfit obviously not customized for the needed body replacer.

We Weimar now.

You don't grow up from liking women, user, you just give up.
This is because Bethesda is full of feminists. Fundamentally, because feminists are conspicuous consumers: not only do they spend copious amounts of money, but they do so in order to be free advertisements. What the game industry fails to remember is that women spend money on makeup (a necessity like food) before they spend it on vidya.
Bitches are crazy and it's the only reason men put up with them.

don't blame the messed up video on me, I didn't record it. I had proper mods installed back then when I played.

name me one game that does it, then you can complain about others not doing it.

Reported.
You’re too stupid to be posting here.

At the player-owned home and miles away from combat.

you shouldn't lie in the internet, user.

Do you not realize that you are demanding something that doesn't exist?

Camp followers, the only correct answer.

Have fun being cucked. Women ought to follow their husbands at all times, even war.

Cuckolding only happens in societies where unfaithful women aren't properly stoned to death.

NO, THERE SURE AS FUCK WAS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT I COULD HAVE KNOWN THIS, AND THERE SURE AS FUCK WASN’T A WAY FOR YOU TO KNOW WHAT I WAS SAYING, EITHER. IT’S NOT AS THOUGH I POSTED ON THE SUBJECT AND YOU COULD HAVE READ THE POST OR ANYTHING.

...

Is there a female companion that I can torture and gut when I'm bored of it.
I want one with a well inside the house, so I can leave it down there and have it rub the lotion into its skin.

Having used Jenassa, she's just a shitty version of Irileth until you mod her.

why? and more importantly, why are you into interracial bullshit?

Mjoll > Aela > Lydia > everything else

I think you should just get a female companion in real life

...

That picture fucking takes me back.

Jesus Christ I never expected to have such a muh dick moment. Especially that dark elf in dragonsreach, and wife at the dibella sanctuary.

Quiet, attractive, useful, and loyal as a well-bred Alsatian.
And absolutely no bioware tier jealousy/catfights/love triangles. The goddamn world is ending Morrigan, this isn't the time for you to suddenly adopt normal social mores.

I actually enjoyed the romance in Dragon Age 2. The game wasn't that good, but Merrill was fun.
There's just something delicious and stripping away everything from a character, until nothing but devotion to a single person remains.

I just realized that the more female characters/companions in a game are interesting, charming, and useful to the story and gameplay, the better the game is. At least I believe there's a pattern.
As for an actual answer, it must be because I'n an arafag, but my favorite companions are those that give a motherly feeling when interacting with the player or other support characters (dedicated to help/protect/heal people and being gentle), no matter their actual age or class is.

That does look interesting, but DA2 was such an utterly nauseating mess of a game I've never been able to make it past the beginning of the second act. It doesn't help matters that the only two attractive human female comps weren't romancable.
Polite sage for off-topic.

don't be a bully, maybe her tits are just weird like that

Let's be real for a second. Female companions are either muh stronk women feminist wet dream or straight up waifu bait. It's better when there simply is none of them.

It can't be any other way because females don't actually exist on the field.

In video games the sky is the limit. I simply do not trust modern developers enough to see them tackle the female question, and anticipate anything other than complete disappointment.

Annoyingly difficult escort quests. If neither the PC or escort has a good reason to undertake the quest make sure the rewards aren't shit.

At the player's home cooking and cleaning. I would like a clean house with food ready at the table for me when I come from a long day of killing vegans and giant rats with purple hair.

whats the best game were you get a christmas cake companion? or should i just keep playing dungeon crawlers were i make up my own stories?

Fiction is based on reality. Its would be really hard, not only in bideo gaymes but in everything else, to create something new we previously would hardly comprehend. Currently females are viewed through simple lens as either a cute girl you like or a female you hate. Obviously there are differentiation archetypes but it does fall under mentioned previously and since this is barely any place for extended story telling a companion simply can't be fleshed out as a actual person unless some serious limitation is placed on choice. The FO4 companion even though they are this shit were not blank as the Skyrim ones yet there were less. Actually I've notice a very clear pattern. You can guess the direction a dev want to take a serious by observing the expansions. In Warcraft 3 the Frozen Throne's orc campaign was just a character adventure. In Shitrim Dawnguard you were shat on with a turd of a character that you had do drag around everywhere. Despite their failure they did try to make the DLC more character driven unlike the rest of the game. Dragonporn was just a nostalgia wank.
….Wait, where the fuck am I going with this?

A female companion should be, in this order: fuckable, useful, and moe. If she's not fuckable, i may as well have a man; if she's not useful, i can still use her as a servant and fucktoy; if she's not moe, i can always put a bag over her head.

I really don't know, bu I can tell you that Ed, Edd n Eddy was one of my favourite cartoons when I was a kid.

quality taste

...

I only agree with the fuckable bit if she becomes your wife down the line.

….should be nude.

/thread.

Welcome newfriend, please lurk 2 years before posting

Anons I was kidding you didn't have to actually make a fool out of yourselves.

You are all mentally ill no-taste faggots who should commit suicide asap.

...

And i don't actually keep up with anime, but i can at least keep up the role for the sake of an internet circlejerk.

Sure.

I don't really give a fuck if the character is female or not. One with a good personality that works well in whatever role "companion" means for the game. Someone who's got your back in some way, or at least does a decent job keeping you company like the girl in Ico. And for the love of FUCK, no constant quips or terrible AI that bugs out and makes the game 200x more awful to play because the "companion" watching your 6 decides to get stuck in a crate during a firefight, launch out of it at hyperspeed and smash you off a cliff JUST AS YOU WERE CLOSE TO GETTING A RECORD FUCK YOU

OwO desu desu~~ :33 am I cool and kawaii yet xD??? OWoo sugoi

On their back giving birth
otherwise being useful in a fight

Thats literally what it is though.

Are there any games that let you marry someone but then have things for you to actually do with them once you're married? At least comfy new dialogue on a semi-regular basis to make it seem like your wife is more than a house decoration?

Rune Factory

Damn, this is actually a decent game to mention in this thread.

As someone who has devoted their life to hating Fallout 4 and bethesda I actually liked a few of the companions.

The only redeeming qualities about that game were Curie, the power armor system, and the settlement building minigame. Everything else is either missing, toned down or done better by New Vegas.

I married 3 "little girls" yesterday. When we first met they were around 12 but now at the age of marriage they are 14. (It took that long to build the relationship with all of them) I can fuck them and make babies whenever I want, but mostly they just follow me along with their crossbow, long bow, and gun, training their ranged skills as I run in and murder shit. Life is good.

What postmodernist hole did you crawl out of?
To answer your question, I want my companions to have AI that doesn't make them act retarded and serve as pack mules, whether female or male.
And if possible, I'll take an all-female party, but never romance any of them

Supposedly it's one of the few things the SAO games actually do well. Kind of a shame it had to be that series.

90% of the internet is about vaginas.
cold hard fact of reality.

As complements to the main character, just like IRL.

Are you a big burly fighter? She'll be the support healer.
Are you a gentle cleric? She'll be the amazon that takes down your foes.
Are you a wise wizard? She's the aprentice that recharges your devices.
Are you a traveling alchemist, brewing potions and traveling around? She's the sorcerer that defeats your foes.

Women, like pretty much every other character, should have a role that does not replace your own, otherwise you'll ask yourself why even bring them along anyway? However the difference between temporary mercenaries you can hire to help you for a while, if they are truly to be your companions then they must complement your playstyle, making up for your character's shortcomings while you do the same for her.
Her usefullness will earn your respect and vice-versa.

This obviously applies to just about every companion for any role, not just women. What can make them surpass that however and set them in a better position is if they have actual character to them. If they have goals and dreams that they want to complete, that they strive for and that you can possibly help.
But also if, throughout the story and during hard moments for your character, they are also present to support you with action but also kind words.
It also helps of course if they are fun to hang around with and actually have a personality.

Sadly this last bit is often interpreted as making "Lol so randumb XD" characters that are never relatable or likable and having companions with retarded goals on their head that you can either support or "me no like you no moar", plus at most they lend you their weapon because you're stuck in the same mess.

Yes, such a shame, people on plebbit might accuse you of having shit taste, and we can't have that.

You're playing the game wrong, m80.

And clothes, and shoes, and jewels, pretty much everything that makes them prettier before vydia, if they want to get fucked yes

shit taste

...

Female companions should be pleasant to look at and interact with, and numerous enough so that everyone can find one that is the most suitable.
Actually, this applies to all female characters in general.

Kike

This way it usually becomes or really weak if you make only a lv1 char or too op because you make them endgame and the annoying shouts…, i prefer to just pick a normal companion/slave and switch them to any char that i like with the transfer visual tool, so i can choose the voice, the answers, etc…One that I really like is the follower you get from the Dark brotherhood that calls me "Master" or the folower you get on Winterhold that calls me "Archmage", it's so much better than "Thane"…
-Yes Archmage? (Yeah biatch, you keep calling me that! Master is pleased)

May I ask for the mods and model you used there

No poop, Poirot.

bikini armour, frecklemania, either apache or ks hairdos, mature body texture, racemenu

kys

I'd kill for a romantically inclined one you could actually have some kind of interaction with beyond just fighting. Mass Effect had the right idea where you could actually talk to them between missions and have some decent conversations. Other than that, as long as the combat is still difficult with a follower, I'd be happy.

On the topic, does anyone know any skyrim mods that do something similar?

Nice memes. There's more to characters than just stereotypes and generalizations. Go ahead and look for yourselves.

See that's the thing I really hate about Skyrim. You're essentially pigeonholed into playing one of the three human races since an elven avatar of Talos

Companions in video games have not been done right yet, i want to change that but im waiting on some kind of companion framework for openmw such a thing may never exist but im not really in a rush.


Thats some good stuff.

...

...

Lydia was the only good companion. She knew that she was sworn to carry your burdens and she just did it.
Serana was a mistake.

I treated her like the idiot trash she is, and was surprised when she turned around and hatefucked me at the end of her story.

The voice acting in that game is worse than I remember.

Try this user:
nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26393/
Also, change her face with visual transfer.

Or we grew up from that already

All elves are scum, but high elves are the worst of all.

Sofia is better in every way that matters… she's also racist which is nice

nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2180/

You should have been able to kill Valerica once you find her and then slaughter Serana, knowing once those two pure bloods are out of the way, you can deal with the rest of the vampires on your own time, without an immediate threat from the prophecy or from some vampiric backstabbing.

You then go through all the elder scrolls reading and shit to find auriel's bow just to make sure it's in the right hands, guarded by the dedicated vampire hunters of the dawnguard.

Vilja is a retarded cunt. She's also constantly trying to turn you into a beta waste of space with no backbone. There is also no way to beat her into submission like she deserves.

Her quest is also batshit retarded.


This user has it right. If you absolutely have to get a custom mod companion, then Sofia is the best there is.

They should either have an at least decent character development or if the developers are too fucking lazy for that she needs to shut up and be a silent NPC like the rest of them. I can't tell you how many "female companions" I've been forced to play with where the bitch won't stop yammering about "jus gril things xd" or saying some stupid asinine comment that is both unfunny and unrelated to the current task at hand.

As a side note, if she isn't even remotely attractive then she or the game goes in the trash. I'm playing a video game, if I wanted "realism" I'd go to Starbucks to see a regular pig-face off the block. Thick thighs and breasts not thick waist and brick face.

Mind going into more detail? Like what are the differences between the two? Not really interested in trying it out, but I'm curious about what kind of characters the modders make.

I vaguely remember liking one follower mod, about a Dunmer Dres exile. Last Prince of Tear or something like that.

Please keep your fetishes to yourself please

lmao

I mean, I have this problem, where If I'm in an RPG, I immediately waste hours trying to make an Evil bitch army of adventurer followers to become the deadly devilish dyke force, consisting of a necromancer, sorceress with the whole super bitch witch thing going on, an unwashed barbarian berserker amazon, a drow, and a bard or rogue with daddy issues. Maybe a demihuman for a racial constrast on nonhuman approaches to dykes, or something.

still waiting for this to happen tbh

dykes are already nonhuman user

Vilja is really whiny and annoyingly Current Year. I played Emma's Morrowind mod (White Wolf of Lokken) and her Oblivion mod (Vilja for Oblivion) and they were decent. Skyrim Vilja is infuriating. To give an example of the differences:
When you get into Windhelm with Vilja, she'll start crying about the poor rapefugees even without you asking about her opinion.
Meanwhile Sofia will just state that the refugee situation is just way too strained and something has to be done about it outside of just impotent bullying. She's deliberately vague, but it's a smart response. Even Ulfric admits that once the war is over he needs to take care of the pajeet elves, drastically if needed.

Another difference is that Vilja doesn't act like a Nord at all, whereas Sofia is passable at least. Vilja is written by an irl female, and it's blatantly obvious that it's a self-insert. This means that her wimpy, emotional dialogue is completely out of place. Not only that, but your selection of responses is also written by Emma, which results in you having to pick from answers that a female would want to hear out of you, more or less. To cut it short, your character is completely pussywhipped when it comes to dialogue choices.

There's more cases of her preaching about Current Year stuff that doesn't fit with TES at all, I think she's up in arms about the poor oppressed Khajiits, too.

Ah, makes sense.

Good companion should be good character to put it short.
To make good character easily you just need to make them interesting. I wish I was kidding but MGQ actually showed how to do it well with Alice.
They made good decision by giving her a backstory and not revealing it from the start. Having some mystery inside the story is pretty much a must. If your writing is good, what will happen next should be a mystery. If you want your writing to just be fun to read, hide something to make a mystery.
On top of the fact that her design and race is good choice. In Skyrim every companion is bland so some people actually choose just Argonians or Khajits because their races alone were interesting. By making a fetish game they accidentally managed to go one step further and make her race even better.

You should just play Bioshit games, then. Dragon Age Inquisition probably does what you're looking for the best. They have the personal mystery and plenty of exotic whores that you seem to crave.

It's easier to do when you're making a VN, trying to make a lamia in an first person game would raise some major challenges for how you're supposed to animate her movement.

3D was a mistake. Voice acting was a mistake.

...

It's just a prank bro

I have both, Sofia is funnier, but IA of Vilja is so much better, look at the virgins complaining about her because it feels she is quite real in fact. Not totally real because them it would really be an annoying woman on the game though…Pics are my vilja ;)
Ps: Oh yeah, i changed my sofia to…But i just got out of the game… :/

I don't know how to properly take screenshot from this game u.u…The AA got fucked up…

...

Why would I want to play with a character that looks like someone took a real nasty wet fart all over their body. Frecklefags are disgusting.

( ° ʖ °)凸

Thanks

Fuck off cuckchan refugees, you aren't welcome here.

Remove Gaijin.

>>>/suicide/

Go away

What if I unironically like Cassandra

Explain to me how can one love character if he forgives what changes developer done to her?

...

Vilja is the single most annoying NPC follower I've ever had the misfortune of interacting with. She sounds like a fucking Scandinavian with Down's Syndrome.

So she fits right into Skyrim, then?

Worse. At least most of the VA's are just bad - she speaks like a person intentionally putting on a bad accent.

Complete opposite. She's jarring to the Skyrim atmosphere and doesn't belong one bit, both in voice and character.

her voice is gay and her lines are cancer as fuck. 100% weebshit

is he ok?

She doesn't looks as prettier as before but she doesn't go full sjw and isn't as absolutely cancer like say, Sera from the same game

Skyrim modding has come a long way. I can't be the only person that purposefully downloads people's female characters and followers and makes them into a new addition to my breeding and milking dungeon.

I'm not so sure. I get that you can't just mocap it like you could for a human, but on the other hand sneks don't have legs. You could probably do some very minimalistic animation on the snek body. The human body would tilt or sway, but it's still simple motion rather than complex moving parts.

So this is it? This is 8ch Holla Forums 2018? Have a good sleep old boy, things will settle themselves in the morning.

How dare you post only one pic of my waifu.
Heres more!

I want a game where you go out for adventures and when you make it home you have your loving wife be cute and heal you and just give you a warm stay and then you kiss her on the lips and she hugs you, pressing her cheek against your chest wanting to be pet and caressed but I suppose that is pretty sexist.

It's also pretty redundant.
If you want that "play" some VNs.

just stop breathing

it's called real life. when you stop being a NEET.

Pretty shit taste my friend.

you're already a genetic dead end so you may as well >>>/suicide/

Heh. Enjoy esquire Goldstein and your future no-fault divorce.

get some mods brah
