What is "reverse romance path"?
I know she's meant to appeal to men, but you can do that and not be so exaggerated about it. DA has such good writing and sometimes I feel like the art department fails the writers. This is one case, but also for example, the Architect had some nice creepy horror elements in The Calling, and then there is this JRPG fey we got in Awakening, with another villain that was so cartoonish and over-the-top that she wasn't creepy at all to me. Likewise BioWare writes such good women characters, is it really necessary to make Isabela look trashier than even Miranda or the Witcher babes?
I personally, as a woman, don't see Isabela as trashy actually. Maybe my perception of my gender is different but why does a woman utilizing sex appeal always have to be placed under the trashy category? A woman can be smart, independent, very capable and STILL dress sexually. A woman has a right to choose how she dresses right? Sex appeal and being dumbed down are two totally different things.
That is the problem with our world society: there is a dichotomy between successful, independent women and their trashy, sexual equivalent. Just because Bioware writes good women characters doesn't mean they need to toss a towel over her and make sure she doesn't reveal any skin. A good female character, in my opinion, is one who is brave, independent, and capable while still retaining her sexual qualities.
