Well, I don't have any "facts" to back me up, but I have read letters from female gamers in several magazines over the years that indicate that they'd prefer that women be dressed more appropriately. I've also read some that indicate just the opposite, so I don't know what to believe these days.
I do believe that cheesecake (and beefcake, for those so inclined) have a definite place in fantasy gaming illustrations, but I'd just as soon see women dressed in armor that makes sense. There has been such a glut of steel bikinis in fantasy in general, that it might attract a few more women to HW if they saw that it wasn't just the same old adolescent erotic crap as all those other games seem to be. Just my 2 clacks.
