Xanikk Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Why can't I play a fat woman in any rpgs that I have touched? Hell, this game is unique enough for giving us the option to play as a chunky guy but they didn't go all the way and let us play as a chunky woman. Why do I bring this up? Well I have a friend that has a friend and she is sort of fat. I was trying to convince her to play but when she saw the character select screen for the female twilek sith inquisitor she was going to play it suddenly dawned on her she couldn't choose one with a relatively similar bodysize as herself. After she saw that she went on a tirade how society never shows fat people in anything but a negative or comedic light and she said she felt discriminated against because society at large wants to "shut her away". Why doesn't bioware let us customize our characters the way we want? Please.. fat women arent bad people. Don't pretend they don't exist!

reaperkeepet Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Because BioWare would rather have them be extra padded belly dancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allowing the option for a minority of players cant hurt anyone. I'm sure the code for it already exists or is easy to modify since there are fat males.

GorillaJ Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 We actually do not have fat males. Strip off the shirt and pants of male body type 4; they're built like a powerlifter, that's pure muscle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are most certainly fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't go around saving the universe if you have to take a Rascal Scooter from quest to quest since you can't make it running there without having a stroke.

There is a "healthy" body type available to both gender, beyond that you are consider obese and it is not a good row model to project in any video game. PS: Says this 325 pounder guy behind his keyboard that still have some work to do to get to get to his 225. Edited March 26, 2012 by IPaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, go look at it. That's muscle. They're built like Olympic powerlifters, not fat dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanikk Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Why does everyone on every internet forum feel the need to be contrarian no matter what the OP has posted. I swear I could state an undeniable fact and still get deniers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no fat males, if you played a body type 4 you would notice that there still ripped just large, and really with this thread? some ppl have way to much free time...

DoctorHorse Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) @OP: What? Did you even look at the body types? There's 4 body types for females, you can select them at character creation. 1 - skinny 2 - slim/athletic 3 - muscular/steroids kind of body 4 - fat you can pick body type 4 if you want a fat female. problem solved!

I guess your definition of fat is different from mine and the rest of the general publics then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istelle Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) So... to facilitate all body types there should be a morbidly obese option? They're galactic heroes, as someone said. Sure the biggest body type for males is kind of wide but he's not really fat-fat (but does kinda look fat). You could say he's more like one of those defense dudes in football.. stocky and wide but still very fit. I think the "chubby" girl should be sufficient... Though what would be really nice is to have body scale sliders... one for height and one for width... so if that's what you're asking for then I would agree with that.

Nice try, pretending the general public agrees with you without any evidence of that fact whatsoever. Appeals to popularity don't work when you can't show your opinion is popular. Do you need a screenshot? I have a body type 4 Chiss bounty hunter. I can strip off his top and show you the character selection screen, where he is a solid wall of muscle.
