She even managed to consult on games like Mirror's Edge 2 (the game sucked because they dumbed it down and it was broken. Which is sad because I liked the first one) and Mass Effect Andromeda (which had a whole bevvy of issues). I even heard she had a small hand in the Last of Us 2 (though unsubstantiated). She accrued a lot of money and then just disappeared like a fart in a whirlwind.
    If you think she is the sole reason for things being less hyper sexualized in gaming.. I dunno.. little tinfoil hatty. She was not a reasonable voice, I'll give you that, but she wasn't particularly well received by all developers.

    Thanks for admitting it.
    Yes.. it's entirely subjective, so WHY bring it up?

    Considering attractiveness is subjective how are they "fugly"? Why does it matter that all the characters are what you consider "attractive"?

    I wasn't the one who made the original assertion!

    The fact that you see nothing wrong with they said regarding why they changed the females but left the males alone..I can't tell if you're just being willfully obtuse or as I said before, you're just arguing for the sake of it.
    And we have people consistently living through life threatening injuries during the game as well.. however this doesn't mean we cant make the people look a little more human and less comic book fantasy. They decidedly did NOT leave the guys alone. They all have the same "realistic" face aesthetic the women do. Considering most of them started out with reasonably "normal" fighting clothes I don't see why they'd get that much of a change anyway.
