The 'let's emphasize her boobs' ring-belts that act as the push-up bra, combined with the 'let's use the scarf to make clevage' imagery still make me laugh every time, though.

Absolutely right. Ashley is merely serving the singular purpose of her gender: that of sexually arousing men, regardless of how unbelievably tasteless and uncessesary such an addition to her outfit might be.Obvakhi wrote...
Ashley has an ass? God forbid! You guys are really complaining about this? You guys are pathetic.
Having an ass > Having no ass
I think you guys are just a little too paranoid about Ash getting the Miranda treatment with ass cam shots.
God, you bunch of weirdo complainers! Get over yourselves, and all that.
What exactly is so tasteless about it? It's just a form-fitting outfit. Armors in ME1 had it also.
This is nothing worth concerning over.

I'd like to introduce you to Isabel.

I'm not talking so much about the chest as the:
"has no pants, needs no pants" and the:
"Hawke, i think I'm falling for you." Two days later, talking to Zevran. "Hey, I remember you. Let's f*ck! Hawke, wanna join? No? oh well, we'll have fun without you."

Aren't you also planning to kill half the squad on the SM for similar reasons?

Yes, but that is DA2. DA =/////////////= DA2.
Well, DAII is the latest installment in the Dragon Age series. That really can't be discounted.
She really was a refreshing character. Shame about the design.EternalAmbiguity wrote...

Still got Tali and Liara for non-sexed up characters. Thankfully.
I'll give them more credit for being more subtle with Tali, but I suspect that's because a lot of people don't recognize how you can sexualize someone without revealing clothes.
The 'let's emphasize her boobs' ring-belts that act as the push-up bra, combined with the 'let's use the scarf to make clevage' imagery still make me laugh every time, though.
I also suspected as much, but it's not like they'd ever tell us.cgrimm54 wrote...
Yeah, revised outfit is much better. Also, armor on missions.
Something interesting that bugs me though, They spent all this time on Ash's 'casual' outfit. It has weapon slots. I think BioWare originally intended for her to have that as her armor, then saw the backlash and quickly threw in the retexed Femshep armor.

Or Morrigan.
Who somehow shows less clevage if you take away her robe and leave her in her underwear.

That's just how her character was. You can't expect every woman to be prude and tasteful.
Still, Merrill and Aveline had pretty tasteful outfits. That actually covered more and provided better protection than what any of the males had.EternalAmbiguity wrote...

And I just heard the sound of the point of this thread flying right past you.
Here's some help. Go back and read the OP!

Wow, the transition is really sad.
That interview hurt my soul.I remember watching a video about character design, and the gentleman in the video mentioned how they had trouble designing female turians, or something? It bothered me, because I assumed they had trouble making them look "attractive," as if that's necessary, IDK. I believe he said something about "lipstick." Yeah. It bothers me. *shrugs*
There's also vaginal imagery from the front.Saphra Deden wrote...

At certain angles the cloth on her hips gives the impression of a short skirt.
Or so I've heard, anyway...

The difference is Isabella and the desire demon are created from points of design with a goal in mind.
Isabella was a woman that used her sexuality to help get her places - she was from the ground up a strong sexually liberated woman.
The desire demon uses sexuality to trap mostly men, once again a character design that has logical reasoning behind it.
Ash got a boob job because BioWare needed more sexy. Thats not a character development reason or even a story reason.
