Boring event, but great character designs

As I more or less predicted in my previous entry, the new Nikke event story ended up being a letdown for me. The narrative focus leaned way too heavily on the older woman, and it just never really managed to hook me. I can see what they were aiming for with the whole memories angle, and on paper it’s not even a bad idea, but in practice, it just didn’t land.

On a brighter note, I did roll for Brid just now (see image), and wow, she’s absolutely top-tier in terms of character design. I’m a huge fan of these more “office-style” looks compared to the usual girlish aesthetics. Something about that mature, professional vibe just works really well, and Brid delivers it perfectly.
