About Aloy

[LARA CROFT]

I like that Aloy is a natural woman, not plastic like an American actress

Aloy is not ugly, she is a natural woman, nothing more. You should stop saying perfect woman like a plastic barbie

Boys wake up!

I'm glad that she is like that

[Black Hole]

I say to hell with romance in this particular franchise.

[GODzilla]

I hope I don't "spoil" this for anyone, but the part where she does that is completely up to the player. You can go for it, or ignore it.

Player choice. You know, the thing people are often demanding. So they did not, in fact "write her as" anything.

I mean okay, let's wait for part 3 I guess. If one or the other decision is then canon you can stil complain. :P

Aloy has always been pretty. She reminds me of a Disney Princess in looks as much as heart and soul.

Overweight princess with average at best face.

I still don't understand where this is coming from...
She's literally thin and flat:

Her face is another story, of course.
But calling her "fat" is completely idiotic.

The easiest thing to do would be to not write her as...

... someone interested in romance or any other kind of love relationship. Considering Aloy's HFW savior complex, isolationistic attitude, being a clone Sobec... making her an asexual ascetic would've made the most sense, both narratively and in terms of game design.
Again, the writing for this game is a ****ing mess.

You do realize you get a choice, right? You do not have to commit to that relationship if you don't want to. You have 3 answers to choose from, only one of them is openly lesbianic.

As it has already been said countless times:

1. These are artificial choices that don't change narrative or plot points in any way, and the next game will ignore them in favor of what the writers of that game will prefer
2. There's very few instances in HFW where you're given options to choose, so having it there is completely pointless
3. It's already been officially confirmed that Aloy is gay, thus the in-game choice matters not

Gayness is a genetic thing, so if Elisabet was, Aloy should be too. So what? Does it bother you that much?

Did it bother you every single time that a character you played was straight? Why was it OK for thousands of games "forcing" you to be straight, but it's the end of the world for you the one time you play as a gay character who, worst case scenario, *kisses* someone?

Okay it was an extreme exaggeration but she is uglier than in the original game

She aged, the graphics changed to be more detailed. She is certainly not ugly in either game however.

beauty is subjetive.

to me however she is beyond ugly now, (she looked fine in the first one)

now she looks like Shrek but the only difference is that Shrek is more attractive

oh yeah she only aged a few months so her aging has nothing to do with it

Ok bud there's no way you said gayness was genetic unless you mean its literally a mental disease passed down by genetics

Gotta love how even when someone who isn't bothered by properly written gay, bi, trans characters in games (or movies) criticizes the bad ones, people like you still act as guard dogs of LGBTwhateverPlus. So... considering how you only respond to things you want to, while completely taking them out of context so that it'd serve your narrative... I shall respond in kind:

Is Alloy the most beautiful woman in the world? Of course not.

On the other hand, I think that her appearance is completely in line with her character and temperament, and the adventures she lives. She has this unique, very organic and human side. In fact, I think it adds to the credibility of the character.
And she's still a beautiful woman, very nice to look at, especially in action with her dream body. But she's the opposite of the head-to-toe silicone Barbie, that's for sure.

you most have very low standards when it comes to beauty then, i bet you would consider a flooded public toilet beautiful as well. she don't need to be a barbie to be beautiful, and when i say beautiful i mean, western world beauty standards. she does not fit any. you could say she is just an average looking girl. then i would agree, she was an average looking girl in the first one . (and that was just fine)

now she is unhuman looking, resembles more a goblin than a woman, and im talking about her face.

Like i said if it is a genetic thing then it is a mental illness
