Women in games
В реальных 1930-ых профессиональные возможности женщин были сильно ограничены, но
"The default option (and the publisher’s assumption) is that if you can suspend your disbelief sufficiently to imagine giant betentacled monstrosities, then a female doctor should be no problem". (c) Trail of Cthulhu
"Выбор по умолчанию (и предположение издателя) таково: если вы можете преодолеть порог своего неверия, чтобы представить гигантских тентаклевых монстров, тогда женщина-доктор тоже не должна быть проблемой".

Ну и тут все зависит от изначального выбора направленности игры. С одной стороны можно, но кому-то хочется, чтобы за исключением всяких иномировых тварей все было "как тогда", с другой стороны при желании можно и в игре про темные века женщину-рыцаря без труда организовать.
Eleanor of Aquitaine: Early in her life, Eleanor was the Queen of France. She accompanied her husband on crusade, dressing herself and her ladies in armor and riding with the army instead of accompanying the baggage. Unlike Sigelgaita’s case, this behavior appears to have outraged her contemporaries. No record exists of Eleanor and her fellow women having ever engaged in combat.
Duchess Constance of Brittany: When her husband was captured and their land was attacked, the Duchess donned armor to rally the men of the city of Hennedont. She urged the local women to cut short their skirts to make it easier for them to carry rocks and pitch to the ramparts to help in the defense. During a pause in the fi ghting, she led a body of men out of a secret gate on a surprise attack that destroyed half the enemy camp, defeating the siege. Later, she bore a sword during a desperate sea battle, and continued to lead her people’s resistance against the French heroically.
