Demon Stone's Zhai Close-Up at Babes

[chevalier]

Babes, a part of IGN network and a great site for all lone nerds who can't get a date in real life, has decided to make Zhai the Rogue from Demon Stone the Babe of the Day. Remarkably, apart from her assets, they also comment on her background and fighting capacity. Here's a snip:

One of the characters in Demon Stone is Zhai, the Rogue. She also happens to be our Videogame Babe of the Day. Like all modern female videogame characters, Zhai is scantily-clad and well-endowed. Thoughts of Zhai are sure to keep many-a-gamer warm at night.

From what we hear, Zhai is half light elf and half Drow (an evil elf), and her parents were murdered long ago. Her mother was a Drow and came from the city of Menzoberranzan and her father was a wood elf from Cedarleaf. She never felt comfortable on the surface world, as she resembled a Drow, so she went to the Coldlands to make a name for herself. Needless to say, she has a lot of emotional baggage.

Oh hell, did we just type that? We have no idea what that means. Damn, we're nerds for just reading that. Well, it looks like we won't be dating for at least another year. We'll just have to look at Zhai for our companionship.

Well, to me it seems Bastila from KotOR is about the only reasonably important female character with less than huge assets, and one of the very few that aren't blond. Can you think of any other example? This one looks like a less rounded but more sporty Viconia (who has even bigger assets and same kind of hair). Speaking of Viconia, about any other NPC in BG 2 exceeded 36 inches by a fair amount. Aribeth from NWN looks like a professional porn actress. Well, perhaps NWN 2 will bring something different. Or maybe not. I wouldn't actually count on that.

Read the whole thing at Babes.

Well, chev, we can always hope. I think Zai looks a bit too sporty for my taste. But Aribeth was as gorgeous ic as she was on the poster that came with the game. Especially the redhead version of Aribeth was gorgeous. But I don't share your fixation for Bastilla. On the box she is rather pretty, but ic she has one of the most ugly faces every, combine that with rather flat assets and there are much better female game chars.

But bg2 had some of the worst avatars. Imoen, with the standard color palette, seemed to have hugher assets on her avatar than even the best (in that aspect) Lara Croft.

Hmm, for typing all this, I think they can add me to the list of :

Though in my case you would need to replace Zhai with Aribeth.
