Some considerations and digression on beauty
I'll only talk about girls but it's applicable to everything.
What is the beauty of a girl in a game? A nice ass and big tits? Red hair? All that?
I don't think I have the same beauty criteria as all the other players and I think that everyone has their own... Well, I hope
Basically, “beauty” is a purely subjective concept. How can we give value to beauty?
I think that basing everything, or almost everything, on the gameplay of a game is very dangerous and can ultimately become what we call a "game-killer".
Let's take the example of a quest where I must provide my interlocutor (who said Negan?) with 4 girls corresponding to his fantasies. Ok, I can understand that he likes blondes with big tits, I could even understand if he liked latinos with a big ass and no tits. But what about “beauty 80+”??? WTF?
As a player and developer myself I can understand that it is necessary to add difficulty to the game from time to time but, at the very least, on understandable criteria. There is enough data on girls in the game, why use such wispy data? A blonde girl with big tits I see what it looks like. A beautiful girl of 80+ I have no idea what it is
After all this useless text, a little usefulness.
It is surely too late to remove this notion of beauty but in any case it seems necessary to me to greatly reduce its impact by only using it for information and certainly no longer as a condition.
In my example I think that replacing "4 blonde girls with 80+ beauty" by "4 blonde girls with big breasts" would not fundamentally change the quest, or even make it more interesting.
note: I don't really like big breasts
