Funnily enough, I registered for the forums simply to tap this one out.

Square-Enix wanted some 5.5 million(!) units of Tomb Raider sold. They ended up with something in the area of 3.7, if I recall right - Which is still amazingly good. You can have high expectations all you want, but if you're selling lemonade, you probably shouldn't expect Apple-level profits.

More on topic, maybe the spikes are merely decorative bits of her dress - I could imagine Dragony or Lizardy races finding horns and spikes to be included as part of their decor.
