Firstly, I am a woman who was put off, concerned and disappointed by the lack of clothing on the original design of the female character. I speak only for myself and my experience as a woman and not for women as a whole.
There are some women who are comfortable wearing more revealing clothing, and there are those who are not comfortable. I am very proud of my body, but when I wear mini skirts or bikinis or the like I feel exposed rather than sexy. I feel sexier wearing clothes I am comfortable in.
and I, being a man, I love girls/women the way they're wearing clothes they like most & feel comfortable in, sexy or not.
My girlfirend never wearing "sexy"(in the eyes of most people & the sex industry is called it "sexy") clothes, but o I find her most attractive & sexy with "her" clothes she love to wear most of the time !
I want to play a character that looks badass just as much as men want to play a character that looks badass. I don't really care if my character is “sexy,” I'm sure some women do, and I'm sure some men like it better if the women look sexier, the same as some women like it better when male characters look sexier.
Personally, for me, I don't mind the unrealistic proportions, because I don't want to be playing a game with normal people, I play games to escape reality and go on adventure and learn new things.... And I want the focus to be on the story, not making the characters sexy, unless that is related to the story.
Indeed, I love it to escape a few hours from reality and play a rpg ful of fantasy & magical moments, and so on ...
As for the "sexy" thing : I mostly play with a FEmale character because I like it to see a nice looking woman walking in the gameworld, sexy or not, I like both and I'm sure the devs of Larian Studios will including ALL KIND of gear, sure they do
I honestly think that the change has absolutely nothing to do with “whining” and more to do with respect. Which women haven't gotten a lot of in this industry. And it is commendable that Larian is respecting its female fans.
Exactly &
respect is an important thing never to forget ! And, I know for sure that not the whole Larian Team are men only !
