So pretty! I recently looked through my screenshot folder and HZD won my attention span. all they need to do for the sequel is fix the 'climbing', jumping up a mountain felt rather silly.

With my partial Dutch background and Hannah's Dutch to digital transition, I can't help but agree.

Her name is Hannah Hoekstra, and yes she is a Dutch actress. Apparently she became famous by playing a fairly naughty girl in a more European style movie. Who could have guessed? Not sure how to properly pronounce her last name, but if its the way I think it sounds, it explains the naughty bit. lol.

Well with SIE cracking down on 'toxic masculinity' and making sure woman aren't too realistic, I don't see that ever coming to pass. Doesn't stop the imagination though I guess.

Me neither it was an aside to your European style movies, talking of crackdowns Should Sony making sure women aren't too realistic be making sure they are more realistic like the Alyx Vances and Aloy's of the gaming world. gaming is no longer if it ever was the domain of testosterone laden teenage boys, and you can have sexy women without them being sexualised, there is room for large breasted women showing off their midriffs and cleavage , it's just that it's become a lazy staple, where you have scenarios that show a person dressed in not much more than a bikini moving through a freezing winter landscape while a complaining about how cold it is.
I want more characters like those mentioned by name but I want the games themselves dictate how they will be portrayed both emotionally as well as physical,rather than some PC correct mandate from above, because you have to be careful that the intent of making it harder for certain games that use titillation as the main selling point doesn't create a splash across the whole sector, especially when it coming from above without much engagement with those at or near the splash point . gee I rambled on there instead of talking pictures sorry about that.
