Damn, is that in the original comics?
I don't remember this from watching the movie or Stand Alone Complex, but I might've missed something.

I can’t really disagree, though to be honest I am unsure how you’d classify the Major. I don’t think it’s entirely gratuitous, at least; I liked that scene where Batou drapes a coat on the Major where the implication is that she doesn’t really feel a sense of shame with the body she inhabits.
Regardless that does make someone who was “opposed to watching Ghost in the Shell” :P

Guild Wars (the first trilogy and expansion, not Guild Wars 2 the MMO) is a game I played back when it released. I’m still fond of it and it’s recently had some stirrings with a relaunch and update within the past year as Guild Wars Reforged.
Worth a look if you’re into older fantasy adventure games with tactical (but not action) combat. The skill system is inspired by Magic: the Gathering — you choose eight skills out of a pool of >1000 (and the game is balanced around team play, so multiply that by 4 to 12 people/AI), kind of like building a deck. Despite the game being more fun when played with other people the AI companions are serviceable too, so you can play entirely solo.
It’s reasonably cheap at this point too, for the amount of game that you get.
I accidentally posted in another thread and found this in an old tab, so sorry for the delay!
Guild Wars (the first game, not the MMO) got an update recently. It’s cheap, it’s a couple hundred hours for all three campaigns, and the gameplay is decent for its time if you don’t mind it feeling clunky by today’s standards. Real time, but more tactical than action. Skill system inspired by deck building games (eg you have a ton of available skills but can only carry 8 at one time). Stories are functional.
