In some ways I hope it doesn't. Take the recent Deus Ex game, they steadfastly refused to offer a female view of the game.

Their reasoning was this was Adam Jensens story, and he is male, certain in game interactions would only make sense in that context.

That said, why we don't have more female videogame leads is beyond me. I'd like to see something like Deus Ex's opinionated take on games than say more of Mass Effect N's dual gender choice. The latter had some rather weird situations if you switched genders. Certain interactions became downright weird or even creepy.
