A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I remember creating a female Twi'lek Jedi in some of the old LucasArts Jedi games.

  • LucasArts Jedi something something
  • KOTOR
  • Baldur's Gate
  • Fallout Although these were more like "create-your-own protagonists" rather than "known hero protagonists" that people recognize.

Aside from the classics already mentioned in the thread, Lara, Chell, Samus, Valentine, Redfield, etc. here's a few that come to mind:

  • Peach in Super Mario 2, the game that feels more like a mushroom trip, than a trip to mushroom kingdom
  • Aya from Parasite Eve
  • Chun Li from Street Fighter, also Cammy
  • Mortal Kombat
  • Tekken
  • Soulcalibur
  • Dead or Alive
  • Sarah Kerrigan in Starcraft(s), although it's an RTS, so protagonist is a bit loose.
  • Rayne from BloodRayne, the first video game character to appear in PlayBoy, eh
  • Ellie from The Last Of Us, damn it's been 10 years already? Is that an old game already? Am I old? Nevermind, don't answer.
  • Clem from The Walking Dead
  • Joanna from Perfect Dark

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few others.

I believe the default choice in the jedi academy character creator was a female twilek..

Quite possible, I must admit it's been long enough that I don't remember much detail and mix the multiple games in the series.
