Everytime I go on the train with Evie Jacob is sitting there and says
“is that what your wearing?”
Evie got that sass.
But then, when you are rocking threads like this, it is understandable!
I really love this outfit for Evie as a great example of how you can (particularly with modern animation technology) make fantastic and creative costume designs for female characters (even assassins) without dipping into the bikini armor or other "ridiculously sexualized” bins.

I was wondering if you have been following the Bloodstained Ritual of the Night game from kickstarter. The main character’s armor is ridiculous, she is in a weird looking short dress and boots but seems to be trying to protect one breast with a sort of over the shoulder front cape. To make matters worse, the new character designs have been getting closer to SoulCalibur’s Ivy proportions. I am still looking forward to the game but I hope the armor doesn’t continue to decline.
What I find somewhat confusing about this is that parts of the design aren’t terrible, like the boots and one of her gloves actually look armoured, I like her sword aesthetic, and they don’t seem to be emphasising cleavage (though in finding this I found many fanartists who do) but then the legs, and the back? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a weird armour where the back was completely exposed before.
It’s a shame to hear that they haven’t been doing well with the proportions of the newer characters. Hopefully they’ll be able to do better as the development goes on.
Now that you pointed out some of the better aspects I realized they are going for a more renaissance rapier armor style, but they still seem to be missing half the armor, and the rapier.
I didn’t know if the newer test shots have been around on the internet but the kickstarter updates seem like the design has changed a bit since the concept art (particularly in the chest department)
I know these are early shots, being used for shader tests but I personally feel they are starting to get into the realm of off-putting proportions.
We talked about Bloodstainedback in May, and how Miriam looked more like she was going to a concert than on a gothic horror adventure… and it seems they’re moving less with the punk metal look and more at the “generic sexy female protagonist” look.
Well, generic sexy design inspired by goth and (presumably) Impa from Hyrule Warriors:
At least Impa got half-breastplate and some support underneath, and looked genuinely intimidating.

Sadly it seems the Witcher series didn’t offer the same option to (eventually) play as another character that Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain did – but someone has gone and made a mod for the Witcher 3 that fixes that (kind of).
is flagged as NSFW on NexusMods because it allows you to pick your options for the female models… and since it’s a Witcher game that means nude models and ridiculous outfit options.
Fortunately the demo video chose to go with the less ridiculous costumes. I mean, there’s a reason a lot of people who liked the game were more than a little disappointed at Triss’ DLC costume:
There is also a mod for playing as Triss in Witcher 2 by the same modder, which is not flagged as NSFW. Unfortunately in both versions, you will still have speak as and otherwise be treated exactly as Geralt – but we’re still grateful to the modding community for filling these gaps as best they can.
