The devs said "Why bother, people will just upload 1000 beauty mods to Nexus Mods either way"

No they didnt .. they intentionally made her ugly because they did not wanted to make 0.1% of world population angry that will not buy the game anyway :)
Like in other games .. this trend is called "uglification" and its been out there for years .. even in movies and west is trying to uglify anime etc .. forcing their games and movies to properly portray women like in the west :)

the main character draws heavy influence from women in 80s Action films as it is set during the original trilogy. I've never understood the criticism as when I saw the design the only thing I saw was how 80s it was. Just look at Sigourney Weaver from Alien and Ghostbusters or Linda Hamilton in The Terminator

Who is this mythical modern audience? I’ve never met them. Everyone I’ve ever spoken to that plays games wants to feel empowered and play as super capable, confident, and attractive people. It’s the power fantasy.
Who want to play a game where the protagonist looks like the woman who works on the checkout of Best Buy?

Huh? Sigourney and Linda are far more attractive than this character model.

I was legit about to make a thread about this, also last games they had us playing as a really hard to look at red head. 0 sex appeal at all, I'm too vain in real life to be immersed playing these uggos.

They took the actress and blend her face with a Gollum image.

Even my wife was like why does this main character look like this haha. Absolutely terrible.

I'm probably never gonna buy this game because i dont have energy for ubisoft styled quest spammer game and all that sweet baby stuff but in all honesty i don't think there's something wrong with how she looks.

-Because Ubisoft hires on the basis of DEI, not merit, which results in both bad developers and politically motivated developers who dont want to make anything that appeals to (*shudders in disgust*) straight males.
-Because they're afraid what five perpetually offended people on Twitter might say.
-Because they're trying to over-correct for previous scandals and prove they're one of the good guys.

The real-life actress who plays her is smoking hot too. It's a real shame.

hot women are not allowed. other women that are unfortunate might feel left out. other men that want to be non-men might feel that way too. it's understandable.

I don't support "main character is too ugly" kind of discussion, especially when she's looking perfectly normal. Neither ugly or pretty, just normal. Average I might say.

To be honest though, from the game trailer it appears that she is not the type of scoundrel that would use feminine charm, smooth talk and trickery to get out of tough situations.
She'll just blast her way through, punch the crap out of everyone.
She does not need to be pretty.

The question is: Why we can't choose Species and gender in Star Wars video games anymore.

I get it that Jedi Survivor had male protagonist, thus next Star Wars game need to have badass female to keep it balanced.

I have to ask again though. Why players can't choose anymore?
