If there was another character instead of Cate, would you be fascinated again?

For example, if there was a male character instead of Cate Archer,  would you be fascinated again ? 

I'm curious about if our biggest reason to love this game is "Cate" or something else...

If it wasn't for Cate, today I wouldn't be a feminist. Simple as that.

The whole love affair Ive always had with the Nolf series particularly  Nolf 1 was the humor and a attraction to the Cate character. She was not only battling the bad guys but was fighting for respect in a all male  world in the  1960's and I guess  in a cartoon sense she was attractive. With all things going on she was vulnerable as well as tough as nails, just a great story line to build on. Sorry to say it, but Contract Jack didn't have that great complex story line, it was more of a arcade shooter and was very forgettable unlike the Nolf 1 and 2. In  Contract Jack they tried to be funny but Jack was borring, no character and dull so nobody found it that funny cause nobody gave 2 $%#@& about Jack. But in Nolf 1 and 2 EVERYONE  loved Cate. So to anwser your question NanoTech the male/ female thing was part of it but its all in the story for me!

The same goes for other games which have women protagonist. 
For ex. Tomb Raider (Lara Croft) series, Mirror's Edge. (Faith Connors)

NOLF is the complete package. Cate is simply the mascot.

I say that Cate Archer is still the best, ever! So if it were to have a male character for these cases (except maybe Contract J.A.C.K.), then I wouldn't be fascinated, but at times I make exceptions, don't know for sure though on that one...
