Dragon Age also has homosex. not really a lesbian thing but Kanji in Persona 4 was gay, that game also had a transsexual party member. also Final Fantasy XIII has Fang and Vanille who are totally lovers, it isn't even subtle. so I think it's moving in the right direcion as far as that sort of thing goes. It's also good for us straight guys who like to play as female characters(because frankly if I have to stare at a characters ass for forty hours I'd rather it be a womans) and don't have to be paired up with men, not like that even bothers me but I like that developers aren't pushing an agenda or forcing a sexuality on me. @ade

A more important question is why arent we seeing more dykes in games? We are certainly seeing more in other forms of media. This throws up questions of just who runs gaming and for whom.

She is: Raised by a group of female witches who then came to hate Lumen Sages (men!) and won the war against them. Then, she encounters Jeanne, ANOTHER Umbra Witch who only her piercing eyes can awaken lost memories, who also was her childhood best friend. Ah-hem. And we all know our childhood's best friend was our first crush. It's clear they're kicking some Angel's halo, while dancing and shooting them together. She isn't: There's a supposedly hot (loved by my mom), faggy, journalist who follows her around. Luckily, she only teases him. But we all know that she would preffer kicking ass with Jeanne, the cherry-chapstick wearing, rough, short-haired, fluffy cuffs and collar, feather loving lezz, than to be with, well, the Faggy Jopurnalist. Comparison: She's the sexy, leather- I mean, hair-clad, almost extinct, immortal Umbra Witch... No comparison, baby. That will be all. :D One name: Bayonetta.

As for Lara, you should remember that in Angel of Darkness she was paired up with Kurtis Trent, something which I´ve always hated as 1) I always found it hugely refreshing with an actionhero(ine) who didn´t have the obligatory love interest forced onto her (though that is more common in Hollywood movies than in videogames) and 2) I just couldn´t see him as her type. But if Lara was to get a lover, I´d much rather see her with a woman than a man.
