10. Unique Model And Portrait For Diao Chan

I will preface this whole point by pointing out that there are a lot of upset armchair generals out there. What has them upset? The inclusion of women in the game. You can play as Zheng Jiang, the Bandit Queen, who is a character based off a pair of female bandits who operated during the late Han dynasty. There is also, of course, Sun Jian's daughter who famously scared the wits out of her husband, Liu Bei, because she likened herself to a warrior in her own right and kept a retinue of well armed lady guards at her side. Both of these characters have unique models and portraits.

But Diao Chan, sometimes referred to as 'the most beautiful woman in the nation' during this time – the woman who convinced Lü Bu to kill Dong Zhuo – she just gets a generic Strategist-class portrait and model. Really? She should be given a unique portrait and model, and preferably even unique voice clips like other characters.

Guan Yu says things like, “My loyalty is as great as my beard is long.” Diao Chan should get neat lines like that... though perhaps with less reference to ownership of a beard. Even people who don't want female characters in the game say that, if they're going to be there, Diao Chan should be highlighted as a unique character.
