What on Earth makes you consider Quiet's design crap and what makes it out of place? This is a series with an S&M psychic hanging out with a woman with a rather gratuitous amount of cleavage, and a dude with no shirt in freaking ALASKA! (As added points, the lady fought you outside, and the shirtless dude fought you in a giant freezer.)
If you'll recall, Kojima never made bullshit excuses to try and justify the inclusion of nudity and sexuality in MGS1, nor any other MGS title. He simply let it be and you either got used to it or you didn't. Most fans (myself included) got used to it. Now that he's trying to justify the most blatantly fanservicey character in the entire franchise (the camera never obsessed with anybody's curves in MGS1 like it does with Quiet in MGSV, for starters) with the lamest excuse that not ony can anybody with critical thinking skills can see through but also contradicts lore. You don't even need critical thinking skills, Kojima admitted it himself that she was designed very much with selling stuff in mind. Thats not artistic integrity and its certainly not how you design a good character. Aside from that she's not even wearing appropriate underwear. She's got a makeshift g-string and a makeshift bra. People fighting in the nude or in their underwear is actually a thing that has occurred throughout history, and people to this day hunt in their underwear or just plain nude. If they wear underwear, its actual underwear and not the literal bare minimum they can have on without
getting slapped with an AO rating dying from arbitrarily-defined asphyxiation that is neither even trying to be consistent with lore regarding people who photosynthesize, let alone answering the question of how she manages to survive for the half of the day where there is no natural lighting. Even the game itself isn't internally consistent regarding the outfit and her physical needs in that it lets you pick outfits that have her wear more clothing. Since her canonical outfit suited for her needs is basically nudity it does in fact break lore by having her wear more without keeling over. The game itself doesn't even recognize her outfit, which is described as nudity within the game, as doing what she needs to do to survive. Its nudity for shameless pandering and it doesn't even look halfway decent compared to the likes of previous characters showing off their cleavage. For example, Eva has a motorcyclist motif going on. Quiet has... I really don't have anything. Its been a year and I haven't really seen any sort of motif within it. It really just does seem like he just slapped together as little as possible to avoid an AO rating. Her bra is so thin it doesn't even look like it can hold her cleavage without ripping, and it is so thin that they'd most certainly be popping out of the bra every time she moved as a brisk pace. This is all without even breaking out the "o" word.
