It’s the crossover that we deserve. The crossover we need!

Her body looks disturbingly distorted. Wondering why no one is questioning how hard they tried to push her boobs fully out but you know that’s not how it is realistically positioned. Her head looks like it dropped down and she has no neck. Her arms look more like wings than arms. What do you think? @boobsdontworkthatway @bikiniarmorbattledamage
This one is kind of amazing in that apologists can’t even make the “it’s for agility” argument – right next to her is an equally agile male opponent in full plate with a comically large warhammer.
And as for the overly aggressive cleavage, well it’s a pretty classic example of how these designs don’t seem to fit with any concept of armor or even just practical attire. If you don’t have boobs for yourself, earlier this year a Twitch streamer
Raihnbowkidz
announced she was retiring as a “boobie streamer” and that released a video showing how much effort went into her appearance including what’s required to aggressively present cleavage.
The language she used was less than ideal, but it did a fairly good job of covering that this kind of presentation never happens by accident and is often less than comfortable for the boobs owner. (And of course, please do not read the comments on the video – just don’t do that to yourself)
So really, when a design is approved with this kind of ridiculous high profile cleavage window – it showcases how little concern was put into literally anything else other than a fixation with boobs. Hence why the woman in the pics is more endangered than protected by her own kit.
Which is to say that not only does this kind of design express that nobody could think of a more innovative concept for the character than “she’s a sexy lady… and um badass” but they also couldn’t think of a way to express this without going to the most ridiculous and overdone design elements.
Such is the creativity that defines so much of video games.

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.
