You know, people complaining about people trying to censor this guy are basically advocating for censorship of criticism.
You have every right to like his art style, but you have no right to tell us to shut up if we think it sucks and we want to say that.

We criticized him because he created something that we didn't like. When someone puts something out for the public to consume, it is open to criticism.Calamity said:
My only real issue with the sorceress is that her clothing doesn't convey Powerful Necromancer to me. She looks like she's in a halloween outfit from the fetish store using her prop staff as a butt-scratcher.
... Unless she's not supposed to be a powerful necromancer and she's actually a seductress using moves like charm... then it fits... kinda.
EDIT:
Ok, I just saw the gameplay footage of her for the first time and found it less sexy and more hilarious. Her movements are so ridiculous they achieve self parody.

Well you're clearly not...SacremPyrobolum said:
OT: Now, we've known about this game for, how long? A year now? And its only now that people start getting up in arms over this?
*Edit*
Are you one of those people that stood by Bioware's original ME3 endings, and felt they shouldnt have to change it for the fans? Cuz if you were, then I may die happy...erttheking said:
You sir/ma'am are awesome and have my thanks for sparring me the hassle of looking for this stuff myself.JemothSkarii said:I'm amazed nobody has posted this, yay, means I can be of use in a thread. This is an interesting post from someone somewhere and it makes good sense to me (slight NSFW in the form of Ancient Statues)):
Sooo...yeah, that's my thought, apologizing for it was kind of silly.
And you, I highly disagree with your view of these characters.Not G. Ivingname said:

This strikes me as looking for something to complain about more than anything else. Yes the sorceress taken on it's own seems like sexualization for the sake of it, but when compared to the rest of the art the theme of exaggeration is easily seen both on the male and female characters. I am not a big fan of the art style myself but I do love the design of the Elf/Archer who is easily the most downplayed of the bunch. So, while I don't particularly like it, I defend this as an artistic choice rather than just a "now I'm going to add some boobies" moment.
I was one of the people who criticized both the old ending and the new. Frankly they both sucked. Also when the dipshit head of the creator team writes the ending by himself while locking the rest of the team out, then really pulling the "artistic integrity" card is laughable because your artistic integrity is already dead in a ditch.WanderingFool said:
Are they the small-headed, large-breasted horse people? I imagine they would make excellent sprinters.
Ah, so we were basically on the same side of that little debate (I personally feel that Casey Hudson should be fired... out of a cannon... into the sun... for that shit.) But it still would have been humorous, from a hypocritical perspective.erttheking said:
Stop being a chld. Everyone whines about something, and honestly when comapred to the art design of the male to the female, unless he's Bierotic...
I say it's a unique art style. One I don't care for myself but buddy stand up for your work.
Don't be a ***** like most politicans who say something strong then apologize four hours later cause the puss brigade couldn't handle it.

There's always going to be extremists. I'm not going to keep my criticisms bottled up because someone else goes too far.Calamity said:
Everyone needs to get over it. You can't stifle everyones creative design because it may offend someone, somewhere. All of his characters are equally exaggerated.
I really don't like to pull out this accusation, but this really seems like the kind of thing Kotaku is doing just for hits. The author took a relatively obscure game, made a huge fuss about it, and didn't shut up about it until he got a response from the developer that wasn't negative. It doesn't help that Kotaku doesn't have a very good reputation in the first place.
Hmm, maybe it's just that image, but that seems to be about the right size for a staff...unless it has something to do with a gameplay video. Then I'd have to check it out myself. Thinking about it you could make anything into a pin-up, even say...George BushLifeCharacter said:
