So it was mentioned that the story will "involve women"?
God, I hope there won't be a romantic subplot, those thing are so boring and overused, I'd rather have a root canal that play as someone who is saving his girlfriend.

Ask yourself this - why did your mind spring to the conclusion that we'll be featuring the cliched 'damsel in distress' plot? There's countless other ways female characters can be used that aren't boring, terrible, and lazily-written (as was the case in FEAR 3 and Dead Space 3). Please give Frictional more credit than that. :p

The Alien trilogy is a very good example: Ripley is the protagonist through all three movies, and the second story in particular focuses on motherhood (Ripley the 'good' mother vs. the evil Queen).
