We’ve featured Duelyst before, so the quality of the designs isn’t the surprise – it’s them being praised like they’re something exceptional. In the interest of fairness, let me share the positive example from the article:
And there are a couple that are not quite as terrible.
But seriously, if this is the best character art video games can produce we need to try switching them off and then back on again.

On Sunday I featured a Bingo on Magic: The Gathering with some commentary that was a little confusing, so I’d like to take the time to clarify now. As the bingo covered, this was a design from ten years ago:
It was compared to some more recent designs, which were quite practical, but some people were confused by my comment that Wizards of the Coast keeps going toward but never quite committing to real progress and failed to elaborate further.
See the images at the top of the post? They’re all promo images from a recent campaign Shadows over Innistrad – the premise being that the “angels” (who are exclusively sexy ladies) have turned on the populace.
It was promoted in variety of places, including Twitch, and had a trailer which reaches it’s climax with the phrase “on bloodied wings…” and this image:
If you look, you can see some blood on her wings… but that sure isn’t the focus of the picture.
Potentially so far… and yet we have to go back to sexy ladies with wings in ridiculous sexualized armor as our concept.

So, For Honor was announced at E3 today and boy does it seem to be a mixed bad with some good design intentions going astray – based off the trailers we have available.
It’s unclear if the two characters in the forefront represent choices in the Viking mission demonstrated at E3, but regardless the option of a massive powerful warrior or a standard woman with boob armor is not really compelling.
Oddly the trailer starts kind of promising, with the representative of the Knights faction being read as a woman due to a slightly different build and a long braid (not shown) – in the scene where the original conflict is introduced.
But then literally midway through a fight sequence (2:07-2:08 on the video) it transforms and gains this weird singular boob plate:
Which, based off the advertising material – is the final design (as per the top image) but is oddly adapted for the Knight’s Heroes (ie Wardens).
Strangely at this time all the Heroes for all three factions appear to be men, so we can’t even confirm if the lady Knight and Viking will even be playable.
Sigh.

(Edit: I have been advised that in the demos you can play as the ladies)
