oh yeah reactionaries were fuming over the additions Beamdog made to the enhanced editions of Baldur’s Gate I and II
what’s weird is that the original itself never cared about making women look like fashion models, they did pretty well with making your companions look like actual people, you can scroll through some portraits here to get an idea
the original game also had an item called Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity which swapped the gender of the person that wore it (but didn’t change their voice, sorry, still need to do voice training) which, if it were added in a game today would make reactionaries fume about the wokes
I love the aesthethics so much and seeing how close they are to actual real people make me love them even more; more studios should take this route, it’s great

The portraits actually used a lot of the staff as reference photos. It’s pretty cute!

I could see it be a cool crowdfunding reward, but the kind of g@mers with money to burn are probably all nightmares to work with.
