Lords of the Fallen has been criticized for many things, including trying to emulate Dark Souls (without the great female armor… outside of the comics).
However, I feel not enough has been said about Yetka… who not only has midriff boobplate, but for some reason the studio who provided the models felt that her navel was her most noteworthy attribute. Not so with the other characters they created.

I know it wasn’t they realized the outfit was ridiculous, because six months later they released this cover.
