I agree, though for this particular scene, it's in principle only! There could barely be two worse people for me, for what would otherwise be a lovely scene. Rachel is fine, but she has no connection to Kim that we're aware of (or at least, that I'm aware of), and Kim herself is not only one of my least favourite girls in this game, but I also think she looks pretty bad here. I don't know if it's just the angle and expression on her face, but she just doesn't look right to me.The game needs scenes like this!
I often find myself thinking that Kim doesn't look like a black woman, she looks like a white woman made black - as in the base model is of a white woman, but then the skin colour has been changed. She just doesn't look naturally black to me. I do have this difficulty in a lot of games - I don't see too many black women taking leading roles and those I do see just don't look right to me. I wonder if this is because there's a lack of good diverse base models, or if I've just not come across the right games (no pun intended). Obviously, I could also just be massively wrong here instead, which is a valid option.
Saying that, I'd be happy if anyone wanted to let me know of a good game that involves a good black LI (or more than one) as an option (by private message if need be, to avoid breaking any "talking about other games" rules). I'd definitely add it to my list of games to check out!
