Got any examples? I haven't played the game in a while, though I'd really like to. Really underrated game. But I can't really think of anything out of the ordinary in terms of Claire being a badass. As far as taking charge, she does spend the majority of the game with Moira and of the two characters, she's definitely the far more experienced one in that type of situation so her taking charge kinda makes sense.
The games free on Xbox if you have one?
the taking charge is the main thing I'm talking about, as well as the way she acts during the situation, completely calm, whereas in the other games she's a bit more startled, which would be because she was less experienced then.
also the fact she does the clean kill wig sniper on a moving helicopter and shoots some crazy ass B.O.W.
She basically fully protects herself and two others for quite a bit of the game.
But the main thing I'm talking about is just the whole sense of the game and it's story, you can tell she's grown as a character. She hasn't actually had much training and to go into a situation like that and act the way she did?
I dunno it's my opinion that's why I asked if others agree. But she just feels more badass to me.
