Video Game Wives - Lusting after pixelated women

No, I'll just have to combat it with better stuff. Dragon Quest to the rescue (RIP Toriyama, the waifu factory).

I'm partial to Bianca myself. Ehh, then again... she seems to only have an eye for equine... or so I'm told.
Survey for both this thread and the video game husbands thread. Does the usefulness of an AI companion have any effect on your attraction to them? To illustrate what I mean, I'll give two examples from Unicorn Overlord.

Scarlett. Childhood friend type. However, she spends a good chunk of the game (possibly the entire starting area depending on how you play) kidnapped and her character class is useful but not really all that strong.

Celeste. Hopeless romantic. You meet her on a liberation mission, and her character class is very strong, able to delete entire rows of units in a single attack.

Bonus question: does the strength and/or difficulty of a boss have an effect on your attraction towards them?
AI usefulness helps, but a waifu's strength comes in many forms - like in the legendary back muscles of a dorky druid.

A God fearing immortal wielding the power of Christ against vampires after a horrific possession. She deserved more popularity.
The whole idea of shiki joining the church and becoming their weapon out of love for her was an incredible missed opportunity for a sequel.
The manga depiction was absolute peak and the zenith of her abilities.
eww
you picked worst girl
french curry whore

Olivia from Fire Emblem Awakening. Pink, about as shy and awkward as I am, dedicated to her craft, and can give your units an extra turn!

Female Robin from Fire Emblem.
I should play one of those sometime.

Caring and witty, Mercedes was a whole lot of woman. All her endings are "And so she soothed her tormented husband happily ever after."

No I will NOT marry the flatchested redditor who always tips her fedora about religion, yes I WILL marry the psycho mommy pope with hips and big tits.

Take it from a guy who started with Awakening, and let me take you fellas to the past:

Malice.webp

New Mystery (FE12) Malice just does something for me. For the 2010s, her art was so kickass; just the perfect blend of sexy and tough, and she's like an insignificant character to the story of the game in the long run. The games in which she is featured are still in Japan-only hell, but thankfully, Heroes introduced her to a lot of the newer fans. Even in FE3, she had it going on:

Waifu of choice, for sure!

Would be too autistic to blab about each of them, even for only a sentence, and I chose to stop at FE7 for my sake. But you get the picture, nevertheless. Fire Emblem has been running the waifu game hard since jump. One of those girls is not like the other, btw.
 
You filthy philistine, imagine choosing this trollop over the one true level up maiden.

she looks like a religious Tradwife which is incredibly based, speaking of Religious Tradwives Mercedes is one of my favorites in Fire Emblem 3H, ended up marrying her off to Dimitri in my playthrough, though if im being honest her 3 hopes design is considerably better than the post-timeskip 3 houses one

I don’t like anything about the gameplay in Three Houses, and I don’t prefer its writing style (I unironically prefer the bad but charming Fates and Engage writing to how miserable everyone is in 3H), but damn if it doesn’t have some of the prettiest women in the series.

Back in the day Supreme Commander was my jam, alongside TF2 and the Half-Life series.

From that sparse millieu I've gotta go with commander Dostya. Fuck the Aeon Illuminate, I'm not joining their jihad for the sake of some religious extremist bitches and hippie skanks.
 
Unicorn Overlord
Something for everybody in this game (including the sick fucks who wanted to romance Gammel). In an initial preview I was shocked by how much I didn't want to fuck the witch class
Yahna1.webp
But Yahna ended up being great and the sorcoress is a straight up design upgrade. Huge fan of her reaction when you gift her nice clothes.
Sorceress.webp
I was also surprised by how much I wanted to fuck Travis, who also ended up being great. Especially liked his conversations with his sister.

But I ended up with Sharon. All the named clerics were excellent actually (including Tatiana who wanted to kill you).
Sharon1.webp
As she put it, pairing with her was like a fairy tail. The poor orphan ends up liberating the kingdom and becoming queen.

Among other switch RPGs, Frederica from Triangle Strategy wins the Pink Waifu award. My first playthrough I realized I 100% agreed with her on everything. Soft but positively will not take your shit.

3H was primarily developed by Koei Tecmo. Yes, the "Dead or Alive: Extreme Beach Volley Ball" company.
