It just occurred to me from the one Critical Role episode I watched that while neither Laura Bailey nor Ashley Johnson really resemble any TLOU character, Bailey looks more like Ellie than like Abby and Johnson looks more like Abby than like Ellie

Yeah I know that story, but they didn't change enough to stop people comparing the two. So I think I'd still recognize her even if they kept the original design. Kind of like if a young Ellen Page was doing an Ashley Johnson impression, y'know? I'd clap and say "spot on".

Yeah I guess that fits. Still doesn't change that Laura Bailey is absolutely tiny (like Ellie) and has dark brown hair (closer to Ellie than blonde) and Johnson is somewhat larger (like Abby) and blonde (like Abby) :p

The oddest thing is how the animated show Infinity Train, starring Johnson, came out well before TLOU2 but its first season protagonist looks identical to Museum Scene Ellie, which means they intentionally modeled on TLOU2 Ellie before the game came out

This is interesting because I know they redesigned Ellie during TLOU1's development to avoid Ellen Page legal action, but wasn't aware they redesigned again for 2. TLOU2 Ellie just seems like "TLOU1 Ellie but older" to me. Plus young Ellie in flashbacks still has the same face.

I don't think they really "redesigned" her for Part 2. It's more like, they doubled down on the "we need to make it less Ellen Page" and took advantage of her getting older. Most of the redesign to avoid legal issues was in 1.
