At the ღend of the day, for Ubisof🐷t, it's about the number right? Did their game translate into profit? At the moment it's not looking good. So they need to actually evaluate why that is and not throw blame to what people claim are a vocal minority.

Aesthetic appeal is what's missing here though. Whether the character is rough around the edges or not, they should still be appealing. That's not the same as beautiful. She just needed to look less bug-eyed with a rounder jaw, shorter chin - she looks weird, as OP says. Keep the broken nose, give her scars, make her tired looking, just don't make her look ไweird.

The screenshot right at the top looks fine, but it's static, it didn't translate well into the game engine. I think technical issues shouldn't be an excuse these days. If it's due to rushed development, that also shouldnꩵ't be an excuse, not from a AAA studio that should have the ♈funds to keep running with slower development time.

And if it'✅s because they have junior staff, that's also not an excuse, the entire pipeline would need to greenlight 𝓰the main character.
