Joana Dark, for me, was never a sex symbol. She always seemed more like a female James Bond in the actual game. The marketing and production art did it's best to sex her up, but in the game she honestly seemed like a butch bisexual tomboy...
Maybe so maybe not but if the company entrusts a consulting team like sweet baby with a significant role in writing the game you better believe that will impact the quality and tone of the game bc they are an agenda driven group
I've never played them, just somewhat suspicious of franchises that crank out games so quickly But at the end of the day if they're good that's all that matters
