Oh, dirty Gods, I think I’m going to roll into a lot of flak with this one, and it’s basically why I created an account on this forum.
One of the aspects I like about Dirty Bomb is that it’s pretty inclusive. There aren’t that many videogames I’ve played where you get to have mercs from such diverse backgrounds. I also like the fact that there are female characters, and quite deadly one too.
My only grievance on that front, if I have any, is that female mercs don’t get the same kind of representation as the male ones when it comes to body types. Look at Vassili, that little shrimp, next to Rhino, that round bear, with Skyhammer buffy biceps in the middle. Well, the heavier it gets with women is Nader, and I’m sorry, but Nader isn’t heavy. She isn’t heavy at all. I’d say she’s healthily muscular at best.
I’d like to see a heavy set female merc, because that’s just something we are so rarely able to see in video games. Men get a variety of body types, but women don’t. Well, we are fighting in post-apocalyptic London, some fat could be useful.
As to the background and abilities of such a merc, I’m sure many others have many better ideas than I ever could, but I’d really like to see even more diversity in a game that already has some.
