Maybe she has a tan. Maybe she's a mixed race person. Maybe who gives a shit.

Out of all the valid and interesting criticisms or discussions you could have about this thing and the Scholars of Codexia come up with... her hair shouldn't be that shade of brown. What a disgrace.

Race mixing doesn't work like that. My younger brother is the only one of us with light hair, and he has lighter skin.

The usual crouch-makes-quiet sneaking, cover shooting and cramped camera in combat look bland, and animations are janky/rigid, but it's an open world Ubisoft game, so who cares, who would buy it?

Racemixed mutt abomination detected.

There are too many things to complain about this shit game to focus solely on this character's hair color.

I disliked the character model in both horizon games, and still enjoyed the heck out of the gameplay.

This shit on the other hand, will be bad all around.

Mild Language, Simulated Gambling, Violence

This is third-person action-adventure game in which players assume the role of an outlaw navigating the underworld of the Star Wars universe. As players explore open-world environments, they can accept missions/jobs for various criminal factions. Most missions involve using stealth to sneak through heavily guarded compounds or shooting through waves of hostile enemies. Players use a variety of gadgets and blaster-type weapons during missions. Players can perform dramatic punching takedowns when using stealth or close-quarter combat. Fighting is highlighted by futuristic gunfire, explosions, and cries of pain. During the course of the game, players can wager in-game currency on Sabacc, a blackjack-like card game with detailed rules; one area allows players to wager on fantasy races in order to further a plot point. The word “bastard” appears in the game.

Imagine a game about playing a criminal where this is the most horrific stuff in it! Really though, the most offensive thing is the use of "bastard". Literally every single use of the word in Star Wars I can find is under Disney except as a descriptor of the parentage of a literal bastard child. It strikes me as either a: a poor writer trying to be edgy (as weak as it is) without really understanding the setting and/or b: a weak/uncreative writer using profanity (again, as weak as it is) as a crutch for being unable to express a character's disgust naturally. The use of "damn" and "hell" (established in films) are enough real world swears in Star Wars for me.

Oh goodie...
Another "mature" Star Wars game for a modern audience.

This is from "The Division" team? I can't see how this will not be utterly mediocre at best.

Otoh, I heard Skydance (Amy Hennig) and Lucasfilm are reviving the Ragtag Star Wars game that was killed by EA. Maybe that will be the real deal.

Why would you fucking post such a goblinoid

WB patented it. Seriously.

and instead of making a Mad Max game sequel with it, they're making a Wonder Woman game.

More like: instead of doing anything with it, they sat on it for 7 years and just ensured that no one else could use it.

IGN is weird. Not one word about uglified women, mafia-esque consulting firms. But this.
