This. I didn't want to be 'Roid Rage, but my other options were lard butt or a couple bobble head looking sticks

 

The mail body choices are pretty much:

 

Topher Grace as Eric Foreman - Topher Grace as Venom (such a disgrace) - Relatively normal - Strongman.

 

Keep in mind that I'm from Scandinavia and we don't really produce girly-men here. Seriously, body size 1 and 2 look like their heads would pop from a bodyweight squat. I'd be worried about hugging female body size 1 or 2 since I'd likely crack a few of their ribs if I weren't impaled on them first.

In Scandinavia, Body Size 3 is normal? The majority of men are tall, dark, ripped, and the size of a tank??

both bodytype 3 and 4 is to extreme

 

Those of us who are actually the same size as bodytype 3 and 4 beg to differ.

 

Body type 4 is literally exactly how I'm built. Overweight, but not overflowing out of my clothing.

 

I was actually very happy to see a game that allows me to be my own size. Most games with fat bodies make them like the fat and out of shape body type, where as SWTOR has made a more "big boned" body type which fits my Northern European genes much better.

Tall yes, more blond than dark and body type 3 isn't tank size, please he looks like he barely goes beyond 200 lbs. Plus, based on his legs , he's either been slacking on leg day or skipping it entirely. I would have gone body type if I hadn't switched from Warrior to Assassin and having an assassin be between 225 and 270 lbs is strange along the lines of gnome tank.

Uhhh, sorry but that's BS. I'm European myself and no, Swedes and Norse people are NOT body type 3 at all on average. There are some Greeks, Germans and Northern Euros that are Stalone/Arnold type but the vast majority are nothing like that.

 

And yes body type 3 is as tank as it gets.

Lay off the muscle milk.

 

Muscle Milk is delicious, but absolutely horrible for you. Too much fat for someone truly interested in being healthy and in-shape. :p

 

On topic: For me, I made my Sith Juggernaut a size 3 body. But it feels right for a tank to be that size. For every other class I have, it's #2.

Couldn't make my trooper with anything but Bodytype 3. I thought about bodytype 2, but it just doesn't fit right. Bodytype 1 just doesn't look like a badarse soldier, and bodytype 4 is laughable for a soldier.

 

That's the exception, imo. Troopers, Powertechs, and Juggernauts all fit with Body Size 3. It's the Agents, Assassins, and freaking Sorcerers (seriously, a roided out magician??) that look out of place.

Body size 3 is far beyond 225. The model is bigger than Arnold or The Rock in their big days...6'4" or so, and about 260-280.

I rolled a body 2 for my male Smuggler, then instantly deleted it as soon as I saw it in game. Had to go 3, even though I didn't want to exactly be Mr Clean.

 

As has been said, males especially need a size between 2 and 3. 1 and 2 look fine on females, and 3 and 4 are nice options for them for those that want it. But, on males, 1 and 2 is just too scrawny. Need a Harrison Ford build, not Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Arnold or Michael Cera and Christopher Mintz.

 

I mean, were the artists using this photo as a reference for male body types?

When making my characters, I just choose the body-type that makes the most sense on what they do.

 

Sith Warror/Jedi Knight = Type 3

Sith Inquisitor/Jedi Consuler = Type 1

Bounty Hunter/Commando = Type 3

Imperial Agent/Smuggler = Type 2

 

My Agent will be body type 4. I also wanted a normal 2.5. It wasn't there so went with a 3.

Well my characters are female size 4 for my bounty hunter and fem 3 for my sith warrior.

 

I think that Fem 4 is a nicely curvy sort of body type and far less extreme than male 4. Male 4 seriously looks to me like a wannabe Hutt dude. :p

 

As for Fem 3, IMO Amazonian is appropriate for a big tough sith girl.

i think it works for the sith. for the jedi, not so much.

 

still i have thought about remaking my bounty hunter or trooper as body 3. probably when i make a sith warrior ill do 3 for him but until then, i really just think its too massive. it does make the body size of 2 look weird and much smaller and thinner than it is.

yeah the body types are ridiculous. you have a stick, a fit person, a giant, and a slob. Id much rather have a modifier on muscularity / skinniness / fatness and then a height modifier. or, there should be a few more body types. To be muscular you have to be a giant, and these 6'5'' beasts look funky running around. Not to mention some of the giants are baby faced which adds to their goofiness. its funny seeing a linebacker wearing robes and while agilely wielding a light saber

I can vouch for this. I'm 6'1, ~190lbs and I'm like HALF of those dudes. They are at least 6'4-6'5, ~300lbs if u ask me.

 

I'll back this up. I'm 6'4", 250lbs. I'm decently muscular, and I look nothing like those body type 3 brickhouses. They are more like 7 feet tall and 400lbs. I went with type 2 because he looks normal.
