What an.... interesting list. What are we thinking?

Personally I'm stunned Lara Croft made the top five and Agent 47 seems like an odd choice. Small sample size?

Okay so for context I've not played BG3. However I do consider myself pretty upto date with my gaming stuff (I run a videogame community afterall). I couldn't tell you which of the characters on the front of the BG3 box-art is Shadowheart; not the foggiest.

As for Croft. I wonder if they'd 'commissioned' this poll before the release of the recent game if she'd have even made the top 10. For the most part, her star has fallen pretty significantly from where she was in the 90's.
