The dwarf gets no axe? really?

I find it interesting that none of the devs has addressed the sexist elf picture...You'd think they would have at the very least voiced their opinion on the matter...

I'd assume she is one of the Lyrian elves from western Lan Larosh; which bordering both the jungles and the desert of Kumala must be pretty hot and ideal for tanning.

Surely heavily armoured troops would be at a massive disadvantage in the leafy canopies of Lan Larosh?

Uh huh. So why isn't the male elf shirtless as well?

Also to those who haven't see this it relates to the topic. (funny that I posted it and then shortly after this comes up)

Awesome video at that link. Really highlights the STEREOTYPE part. Female bikini armor really is a tired, boring, old trope and finding a couple examples of male undress doesn't make it equitable in a game that has none of that in it. Way to let us women know that we are not worth any marketing emphasis.

Well the male elf seems to have a fur lined cape so I'd assume, even though he's are not heavily armored, he's from further north?

Isn't not like the female human and dwarf aren't wearing armor. (Not sure what either of the orcs are wearing)
