I still find it hilarious that the men-folk keep complaining about lack of "attractive" female companions, meanwhile we girls have 3 attractive male companions to admire. THIS NEVER HAPPENS IN GAMES, people! Do you have ANY IDEA how awesome this is?!
Also, I really like Karlach's new model. In general, all the female characters are strong in their own way.
It's so refreshing to have a game that is not designed purely for the male gaze.

I also appreciate the fact that this game is designed for both male and female gazes - which is super rare. Watching Felicia Day play this she got very excited about being able to design the person who attracts her and she gushed over the attention that went into the hairstyles.
There is also the fact that armor on women looks like proper armor and not a metal or leather bikini. BG3 breaks a lot of standard tropes.
