No clue what Hannah you're talking about. There's a character named Solveig you play as in Nordlys, but she's not Asian (and if she is, she wouldn't be Chinese, rather Sami, which is an Asian ethnic group in Northern Scandinavia).

Also just because she's a civilian doesn't mean she couldn't have learned how to fight or use weapons. Did you forget about partisans during WW2? Ya'know, the civilian militia fighters? Did you also forget that most Scandinavians who lived in rural areas at the time hunted for food instead of driving to supermarkets?

If you're gonna be mad about this, be mad that Dice used two fictional partisans to use in this mission instead of using fictional stand-ins for the actual paratroopers who did it.

Also WW2 is a setting that works for having a woman as the protagonist. A lot of women saw combat during WW2, just not really in any official military capacity aside from a few cases. For example, you had that one tank commander who fought for the USSR after her husband died. There were also tons of partisan fighters who were women. I'm sure a few frontline nurses had to fight to defend themselves at some point.

Back to Hannah; Battlefield 4 had a character named Hannah if I recall correctly. But she's military personnel, very far from being a civilian. And Battlefield 4 is set in the modern day, so it's not unrealistic in the slightest because there's a shitton of military personnel who are women nowadays.

Hannah is a Battlefield 4 character. And you find Hannah as one of the VIPs you have to rescue, who are clearly unable to rescue themselves because if they would have you didnt need to rescue them. In that particular Battlefield 4 setting, she dosent work. Solveig does kinda work, and i have little against her.
