It's no secret that gamers are incorrigible romantics. Other worlds beckon us both day and night... just like their charming inhabitants. In honor of the holiday of spring and female beauty, we decided to remember the most irresistible ladies of gaming. Dream, celebrate and fall in love with us!
Origin: world of Edenia. She first appeared in Mortal Kombat 2 and has since appeared in almost every game in the franchise
Occupation: Princess of Edenia. She dedicated her life to revenge on Emperor Shao Kahn, who captured her home world and made Kitana her adopted daughter. She became an ally of the Earth Kingdom fighters, actively participated in several wars with the invaders.
Attractive features: Kitana is a very pretty young (forever young) girl of Asian appearance. Effectively and effectively uses combat fans, with the help of which he can knock off the enemy's head and even fly up.
Worrying traits: Princess Kitana is used to high status. In Mortal Kombat 11, the slaves carry her into the arena right on the throne. It will not be easy for our contemporary to communicate with her. And one of Kitana's fatalities is called «Kiss of Death»; the princess kisses the victim and literally blows her up. So fall in love with this one after that...
Origin: planet Pandora. Moxxi appeared in all Borderlands, became the title character additions to the third part, as well as in the adventure Tales from the Borderlands from the Telltale studio.
Occupation: robber, revolutionary, bar owner and (secretly from everyone) talented mechanic. One of Moxie's passions is marriages with a variety of men. However, her marriage usually does not last long and ends with the tragic death of her husband.
Attractive features: Moxie is the choice of risky men. Rich life experience, business acumen, natural resourcefulness and a beautiful figure, which was not spoiled by the birth of children, make her a very interesting match. She is not afraid of adventures, does not sit still, prefers noisy society and a nocturnal lifestyle. Boredom and dull everyday life are excluded by definition in Moxie's company.
Worrying traits: Monogamy and fidelity are not for Moxie. She is easily attracted to both men and women.
Origin: Earth of the fourth millennium from Horizon Zero Dawn.
Occupation: hunter, adventurer, outcast. Aloy's curiosity rivals that of any cat. A man-made disaster threw her world into the Stone Age, and now the girl enjoys tinkering with ancient artifacts that everyone bypasses.
Attractive features: Aloy was created with an eye on the action heroines of the eighties: Ellen Ripley from «Alien» and Sarah Connor from «Terminator». The strong heroine looks realistic and convincing even without a size 5 bust. Archery, tracking prey — these talents of the primitive hunter Aloy complements the ability to make useful items from everything at hand.
Worrying features: Aloy is still a child of her world. Primitive morals, habits, attitudes towards proper nutrition, etiquette and hygiene may not please our contemporary people.
Origin: Anna lives on the streets of Sigil, the City of Doors from the cult RPG Planescape: Torment.
Occupation: Confessed thief Anna is a half-demon and belongs to the tiefling race. She is indispensable in the team as a scout, burglar and stealth assassin. Many difficult quests in Planescape: Torment can be solved elegantly by stealing, and here you can't do it without Anna.
Attractive features: Don't let the cat's tail bother you — Anna is graceful and beautiful. An explosive temperament balances loyalty to friends and associates. Anna, unlike some other companions, does not seek to betray the Nameless One, and she has much fewer skeletons in her closet than Ignus or Dak'kon.
Worrying traits: The cat-like habits and manners of a tiefling sometimes get the better of Anna. You shouldn't relax with her, otherwise she might bite.
Origin: planet K-2L, a colony of Earth. Samus is an eternally young veteran of the gaming industry, her first appearance in Metroid dates back to 1986.
Occupation: ex-policeman and free-spirited bounty hunter. She saved the Galaxy from all sorts of scoundrels many times. Almost eradicated space piracy.
Attractive features: Samus spends a significant portion of the gameplay in a combat suit with a closed helmet. But since the days of the NES, there has been a tradition of showing Samus in all her glory in the finale (although for this it was necessary to fulfill certain conditions — meet a time limit, for example). It became possible to take a closer look at Aran with the release of comics. She is a tall and athletic girl, beautiful and, without a doubt, smart. Her appearance was not affected by the addition of alien Chozo DNA. Which is great, because the Chozo are red-eyed, beaked bird-people.
Warning Traits: Samus's military training began at the age of three. Her height is 190 cm. It is physically difficult for such a lady to become a worthy couple.
Origin: Land of the distant future, abandoned by people. 2B is the protagonist of the action RPG NieR Automata.
Occupation: combat android of the latest generation. Sent to Earth by the remnants of humanity who fled to the Moon. Fights with combat robots of extraterrestrial origin.
Attractive features: 2B turned out to be more humane than the biological people giving her orders. Her emotions are strong, understandable and close to any gamer. She feels pure rage towards aggressors, but at the same time is able to detect neutral and even friendly forms of artificial life among her enemies — something human observers were unable to do. 2B desperately cares about her allies and is ready to do anything to protect them. And of course, she has a model appearance with a slight twist on Japanese style.
Worrying features: 2B is obliged to follow other people's commands. According to the plot of the game, she is repeatedly forced to execute innocent people. And some inconvenient questions arise regarding the physiology of 2B...
Origin: Bayonetta lives and operates in an alternate Europe from the game series Bayonetta.
Occupation: professional witch, representative of the conventional forces of Evil. He fights with no less conventional servants of the Light, who are more like mutants from Dead Space.
Attractive features: Bayonetta is the epitome of sex appeal. Legs of fantastic length (huge heels with built-in pistols are included), a wasp waist, lush raven-colored hair and perfectly fitting glasses — the PlatinumGames artists have created a character that will be remembered forever at first sight. There was no talk of revealing the rich inner world of the witch in the games, but Bayonetta demonstrated the wonders of martial art, sometimes even remaining without clothes to the delight of the players.
Worrying traits: A 600-year-old witch, accustomed to pushing those she doesn't like into the «iron maiden» — this is perhaps a somewhat risky option.
Origin: planet Thessia, home world of the asari race from Mass Effect.
Occupation: archaeologist, xenocontact specialist. And thanks to his racial propensity for biotics, he is also a dangerous fighter.
Attractive features: Asari are a single-sex race. To procreate, they actively contact representatives of other species. So if you have problems with earthly girls, there is every chance of becoming popular with the asari — any men are valued here. All asari are good-looking and almost forever young (cellular regeneration helps). True, there are rumors that aliens have a mental or even chemical effect on men of other races: everyone sees something attractive in blue-skinned beauties for themselves.
Worrying features: if the asari somehow bewitch their chosen ones, then you have a chance sooner or later to see Liara «unpainted», in her original form. You may not like the result.
Origins: the dark fantasy world of Thedas, the Dragon Age series, starting with Dragon Age: Origins.
Occupation: free witch of the Korcari Wilds. An active participant in the war against the Pestilence, the invasion of underground monsters. Transformation specialist.
Attractive Traits: Morrigan is a strong woman in the broadest sense of the word. Living far from civilization made her independent and bold in her decisions, and her witchcraft talents made her able to resist threats and protect loved ones. For all the severity of Morrigan, true evil is not exactly her credo. She is merciless in verbal barbs, witty at the level of Faina Ranevskaya. Beautiful with natural beauty, apparently.
Alarming traits: Morrigan's bitchiness is combined with the ability to turn into a giant spider. Any quarrel could be your last.
Origin: kingdom of Aedirn, capital city of Vengerberg from the Witcher universe: Yennefer played an important role in the books, appeared in all film adaptations and in games.
Occupation: sorceress with higher education. He occupies a high position in the Lodge of Sorceresses and, on duty, actively participates in the political life of the entire continent. In peacetime, she practices healing magic; during the war with Nilfgaard, she participated in the fighting on the front line.
Attractive features: Yennefer's appearance was created using magical influence: from birth the girl was an ugly hunchback, but became the first beauty of the world of video games. Moreover, it was in games that the most spectacular, successful appearance and closest to the literary original was embodied. The Netflix series for some reason showed us a fortune teller from a gypsy camp, an image from a Polish TV show — again, by the way. Yennefer from The Witcher 3 looks much more convincing.
Worrying Traits: Even the developers at CD Projekt RED recognized Yennefer as a complex character, which is why she remained behind the scenes in the first two games. The sorceress has been seen attempting suicide, having relationships with dozens of different men, is prone to nyctophobia, can be harsh, cold and aggressive. If you are not a witcher, then falling in love with her is quite dangerous.
