Why did they make Harley Quinn so ugly in this game?

[Norscout]

We've got great examples of her in games, and she's known for being hot, why did they give her the Western-Dev treatment? She didn't deserve that :(

[Dirty Wizard]

I guarantee the real life actress she's based on is attractive, and they intentionally made the character uglier

[Frank Knowhere]

Anime pfp, hentai background, hentai group, more realistic woman, "ugly".
Yeah that checks out.

Edit: Gave me a Jester & he left the Hentai group LOL

[Dirty Wizard]

Do you also think that Aloy is "a more realistic woman"?

[Igromanru]

Came for the same question. I just finished Gotham Knights and while Harley there wasn't as good as in Arkham series, she still looked like Harley.
The Harley Quinn from the game looks weird and not even like in the recent movies.

Yeah it's sad, western developers are pandering to people that will never play this game and the core fans will just move on to games developed by eastern developers.

this game will fail because the gameplay is stupid, not because you have trouble masturbating to the cast.

Obviously you have not seen Wonder Woman if you feel Harley is the ugliest woman in this game.

[Zeriel00]

Because they wanted that sweet ESG money and to push THE MESSAGE. Don't listen to the woke shills that will never buy the game and are just here to push their woke politics.

That is actually quite possible, there have been several cases like that documented in other games. An average woman is not ugly with actresses usually having above average looks - so it take intentional effort to turn real life actress likeness into something ugly.

Publishers are hiring external consultants nowadays to help devs make their games more DEI friendly - and as ugly female incels who hate any beauty are a strong lobby in the progressive movement, any beauty must be eradicated to avoid hurting their feelings (in case they decided to play, which they likely won't).

While you are right this games biggest weakness will likely be it being designed as life service looter shooter while most potential customers just want another story-driven single player experience from their favorite devs - it does not mean other flaws are not piling up too.

And believe it or not but most people - even while they appreciate beauty - do not resort to lonely adult activities every time they see a pretty digital face. But you do you, no judging.

Looks better than that thing from spiderman 2.

You're not. I think she looks fine. No supermodel, but fitting for Harley. Nails that crazy look.
