Duchess Nukem?

[Angilion]

An idle thought that could be fun and might increase the potential market for DNF - the option to play as a woman, a kindred spirit to Duke Nukem.

This could be worked in as a game intro:

A title reads "Two years ago", or something similar, over a scene of Duke Nukem jumping out of a jeep on the road to a town. Panicked civilians are running away from the town, screaming and shouting about aliens killing everyone, desperate to get away from the menace. So, of course, Duke Nukem is striding towards the town, eager to fight the menace and kick alien ass.

As he approaches the town, he comes across a woman carrying a shotgun and striding towards the town, unlike everyone else apart from Duke. He says to her something like "Hey babe, why are you here, not running away?" and she replies "I'm here to kick ass and chew gum....but I'm all out of gum."

Classic.

So she trains with Duke, putting on some muscle and improving her skills, and they become good friends. After two years training, she's ready for...whatever happens in DNF.

Shouldn't take much work to add her - the game would be the same, just extra artwork and speech, plus a different ending video. Not very different - she saves Earth and handsome men jump into her bed.

We'd need a better name for her, though.

That's ridiculous. Duke Nukem is THE star in his own self-named game, he doesn't share the spotlight.

If you want a heroine play i.e. Tomb Raider.

Your request is akin to asking for a male version of Lara Croft, a Laurens Croft which is also moronic.

[Waiter]

DNF is probably the last games that will ever happen. Playing Duke is about being Duke and saving the babes. NOT about being the babe, saving the babes and leaving Duke to chew gum.

[dicklaurent]

I wonder if they ever considered making Bombshell playable? Probably not.

Cliched.

[Needle]

That would be a nice idea for a MP model, but in the SP part it would be just plain silly.

[Deftones]

What the........Dutches? Good lord no.

[hark]

I don't see what the point is in putting boobs on Duke.

[MasterMike569]

Haha screw that, make a whole new game out of the concept. One of Dukes illegitimit children from some whore he knocks up, probably Laney from Duke 3D or somewhere along lines from many or any of his romps grows up into a teenager or young adult and you take her through many adventures, like the shopping mall or perhaps to a sleep over (pillow fights anyone?) or to get your nails done. Other game play scenarios includes clawing your way through rival betches at the mall or other favorite hang spots. Soon within the game an alien invasion takes place and soon enough you take arms with your Yorkshire terrier by your side and end up bumping into Duke on occasion to team up, Whom later finds out that you are the spawn of Duke. Snarky one-liners from your Duchess duke clone would be. "Betch you made me break a nail, your gonna pay!" "Insert snobby hilarious girl quote here". .... Haha ok ok I'm sure nobody would play this game HAHA. What can you do. Having a lead female Duke character just doesn't work out very well.

[Needle]

Reminds me of that old thread where we would draw all sorts of pictures of Duke gone wrong. You know, back when this place used to be fun.

[Lt.Havoc]

Well, that has been done, I tell ya.

Here is the proof:



A Japanse Duke nukem fan did these. Not as buff and all, but still kinda intresting.

[Needle]

She doesn't even has a flat top. Fail.

[Superczar]

LOFL, WTF???

Yes it has, and her name was Bombshell, and she made an appearance in the old 98 E3 trailer. Though, who knows if she's going to be in the game anymore? They may have even ditched the character a long time ago.

[MeatWagon]

I think it would be quite fun to have a female counterpart to duke. Not as a playable character but as a side character for Duke to interact with. And like Duke she loves to flirt with members of the opposite sex. While duke rescues hot babes and strippers she's saving well muscled soldiers with their shirts ripped off

[Malgon]

I guess Bombshell is 3DRealms version of a female version of Duke Nukem. I don't think we'll see anything like the Duchess Nukem idea in DNF.

We already got a game thats taking forever to develop about a female badass, its called starcraft ghost

I thought that game was on indefinite hold?

[madhatter man]

This sounds like more cheesy fan-fiction :\

Yeah, Starcraft Ghost is in development hell (ie. no developer for the title ATM).

But, but... teh pointy nipples!

P.S. Duchess Nukem -> bad idea.

[Babe]

Apparently Bombshell (which was one of the three stand-alone game projects 3DR was working on) is now integrated into DNF. Miller isn't quoted on the confirmation, but the article says she's part of the Duke universe as Duke's action-female counterpart.

I hope that such unnecessary junk ruin Duke from what he is !
