The disconnect between the look and the actual description of the two main female characters, Fall-from-Grace and Annah, is interesting.
Annah looks like a bimbo in her 3D model, but in game most NPCs find her repulsive or at least off-putting. She's not sexualized in-game, but her portrait is that of a "sexy babe".
Fall-from-Grace is described as a tempting succubus (though she doesn't behave like one) and is supposed to be extremely attractive, yet her 3D portrait is rendered in shadows, very skinny, with scary bat wings and no hint of "babe" characteristics. She is not "sexy".
I wonder if the people who drew the character portraits were going by the early pitch draft, because the disconnect with the actual characters is extreme.
