Practically all the NPCs in this series, man or woman, are ugly as sin so I have no idea how you could interpret it that way. I'm honestly amazed anyone remembers that part of Dark Souls 2 at all.

That time Dark Souls let us dress up a waifu

I'm questioning why the feature exists, and some posters agree it's a strange and pointless inclusion. What are you trying to paint me as a pervert for here exactly?
Except you can continue to dress her up even after. She stays your dress-up doll for the remainder of the game.
It's a strange way to interpret a forgettable part of a forgettable video game and it makes it seem like you're either begging for controversy or are just weird yourself. Don't know what else to tell you.
Yes she is a dress-up doll, and? Play Style Savvy, it's literally dress-up doll - the game, and it's awesome.
And, someone else already gave the most plausible answer:
I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant for someone that likes fashion haha
I disagree.
The artstyle is mostly realistic, and turns out that real people can be attractive.
That girl in a black dress selling stones on that poisoned area in DkS 2 is specially cute imo
I also think that OP is being hiperbolic. It's mostly optional stuff that doesn't impact the player in any way unless they want it too. But it's not something 100% devoid of fanservice logic either haha

Unlike yours, that's a reasonable post that offers a possible explanation for the topic's question, but was also made after your own. The smug attitude doesn't suit your posts.
I never thought of her as a waifu to dress up to match your fetishes. Dark Souls in general isn't really a series I think about too much in a sexual manor. I mainly used her as a mannequin to display cool armor that wasn't viable to use.
Someone at from felt the need to pander to the wafiu crowd, it felt pretty out of place for the series.
This is clearly one molehill that has yet to reach its potential as a mountain.
Serious response though: I never saw this as any sort of objectification or waifu-ism. I just saw it as a unique element they threw into the game for fun, to help the player feel like they have more influence on Majula and the people who gather there. Looking back through her dialog I really don't see anything that leads you the player on, its not like she's flirty or even responds differently depending on the armor you choose. And you are can't change her clothes later so most people wouldn't have had things like the sorceress' set the first time they meet here, so I'd assume most people gave her pretty modestly designed armor.

i haven't played dark souls 2, but from the description it sounds more like the develper put that to give you chance to retrieve the armor you gave her if you thought you might need that,while stillnot allowing you to leave her naked..so you just exchange the armor you equip on her.
but as i said, haven't played the game so i might been msinterpreting the context.

I'm all for calling out something for being controversial, but Galgun 2 for Switch comes out in 2 days where you literally shoot horny high school girls with an orgasm gun so I think maybe we should let Dark Souls 2 slide.
That's really all I saw the feature as too now that I've been reminded of it. The OP seems to be trying too hard to stir up some controversy with their very flimsy interpretation.
I just gave her this thing, plus some knight armor (don't remember which set). Honestly forgot about that character until I popped in here.

Oh no, you can change her clothes as many times as you want. Only you do not get back what you gave to her previously. That's what made it so weird in the first place.
My mistake, I could have sworn you were locked into what you gave her initially.

This is the greatest creation in all of Souls. This mask. God. I love it too much.
Makes me want to switch it back to being my avatar pic again.
Gave her my first extra stuff I guess but don't really remember speaking to her again.
No souls hub will ever beat Majula though!

Yeah more important than the OP's bizarre thread premise Majula is truly the best part of Dark Souls 2.
I read the title as "It's time Dark Souls lets us dress up a waifu" and I was like heck yeah! I'm disappointed, OP.
I just gave her the random trash armor that the enemies in the forest drop. Anything that was unique or had low drop rates, such as the desert sorceress set that it seems a lot of people gave her, was far too valuable to just give away for free.
Just a stupid and pointless feature like many other things in Ds2. Best not to think too much about it.
User Warned: Thread whining
OP you should have gone to Kotaku with your premise, it might have actually gotten traction there.
