For the general case of the topic though, there has been a growing trend of female protagonists and I for one am happy to see this forward progression. The problem that I've heard a lot, is in the marketing departments trying to tell publishers/developers they can't have females as the lead or on the cover because they won't sell as well. There was if I recall a pretty big conflict going on about having Ellie centered on The Last of US, as well as with Remember Me. Â
I think I'll put my parking brake on now because I was about to trail off with the attention span I have. I like that each leader of the city-states is a female, and for the most part are self-reliant in their actions and concerns. (Taking out that Nanamo has Raubahn lift her up for her speeches.)
Sylvanas kinda has her own problems going on, mostly in her character direction.
Like you can have two kinds of female leaders in Warcraft lore: The foil for the male. Or batshit insane. I've not really been a fan of her direction for a while, mostly the whole thing with Blizzard setting her up to be Lich King 2.0. Which I feel is kinda counter productive to the development she's had since WC3.
BUT THAT. Is a whole 'nother topic for an entirely different forum.
