How are female characters represented in Games?
In my honest opinion, mostly not in the best light. Hyper sexual image of Women in video games has toned down in recent years but is still out there, if they give a game rating of 18+ I expect some forms of this and I don't see it as a problem but unnecessary innuendo and uncommon body types could unintentionally damage females mentality and ability to play and enjoy video games in the future.
