    There is a technical lore reason though, most of the hot women are sorceresses, and can basically change their appearances at will. They tend to be hot women because it makes for easier social lives. Otherwise they are all 90 year old crones.

      They look like that because the primarily male, hetero audience wants to see this. Let’s not come up with in-lore reasons why female characters are sexualised the way they are

      Most of them are old crones, they make themselves look like this because they are vain.

      Ves takes the cake though, since she just runs around with an open shirt all day.
