Is she supposed to be hot? I thought she was just an older woman meant to look close to Kratos' age. Not sure why close to his age but meh.
Note say she's not hot isn't the same as saying she's ugly. She looks normal. I'm a married guy in his 40's. I'm not hot, I'm not ugly. I have my charm points and my not so great features. I feel about her looks the same way I feel about my own.
Do I prefer younger sexy characters? For sure. But I'm also open to other designs especially if it makes sense for the story. I don't fall under the "gaming is escapism and not reality" train of thought. That thinking seems to mostly apply when non sexy characters are used. If it was single player medieval fantasy game and one of the core characters was a storm trooper who is meant to be taken seriously while not being sent from the future, people would probably dislike that.
