I think why some of the games with "colourful" characters succeed while other fail is due to frontloading the characters into the players faces like Nu-saints row or borderlands with a backstory and personality without allowing the characters to endear themselves to the players.

There is a difference between colorful/fun character design (Apex would be a decent example) and woke character design (this game, new Saints Row, Borderlands 3, and so on). Immediately introduce new playable characters. Redfall is effectively the new deathloop. So it might be a situation where the game dies within a month due to lack of players that wouldn't give the game a chance because of price and aversion to "colourful" character designs. This game has everything working against it Not to mention the excessive entry price. I can absolutely see people being immediately turned off by even seeing a African american woman with a comically large fizzy hairstyle and assuming the worst. But i think you perhaps aren't impressed by the initial 4 characters you can play as. I hope you crash and burn, because there isn't much left of the good old Dishonored/Prey days.
