It's still a man's point of view well done, well written, whatever you want but it's not realistic. I'm 100% sure it doesn't even come close to the female POV and I also understand the needs of its audience and that PG has to sell the product, I hope not but I think Lisa will come to be a mindless slut. The end that so many games like T.O.W., Myriam and others the list is very long, how sad...It has never seemed to me in this game that Lisa was reasoning with PG's dick, or that she was expressing PG's desires. Of course, as the author, PG decides all of Lisa's actions, words, and thoughts, and it's only reasonable to suppose that his own personal sexual preferences would make their way into his game, but it has never seemed to me, while playing the game, that Lisa was acting on PG's impulses. That's one of the indications of good writing, when the characters seem to be acting in character and their motivations seem believable, as opposed to when it's clear that a character only made a choice because the author made an executive decision.
Women are vindictive no matter what... and I find Lisa with Paul definitely acted from a Male point of view (PG's) which then is definitely what the majority want, but it's not realistic and as I said before PG needs to sell.Also, it's worth noting that Lisa's motivations are decided by her character, more than they are decided by her gender. So, to take your own example of Lisa being vindictive toward Paul, I don't think that whether she is or isn't vindictive toward him should be a question of a female versus a male perspective, but should rather be a question of Lisa's character. Some women would be vindictive, while others wouldn't. When deciding whether or not to make Lisa vindictive, it's enough for PG to reference the character he has given Lisa throughout the game, and it's not necessary for him to bog himself down by asking, "Is this a sufficiently female characterization".
