Large breasts don't count when you're fat. Being fat should not be celebrated...I am NOT being offensive here as the US government agrees with me. It's rather unhealthy and we don't encourage smoking do we? Why encourage being fat?

I also want to mention that there are fat women in this game...body type 4 is fat.

Whenever I have a story interaction with a fat women (body type 4) I try to pick the meanest/kill option because they offer no value to me.

Body type 4 for female is not fat. No way near being so. They are curvy and sexy, with larger hips and breasts. The male tho is without question fat. The Fat guy;s belly hangs out over his belt. You donot see that with the body type 4 female.:P

I know I'm not being politically correct, but such is the way of biology and societal norms and realities.

Would it be fun to make fun of fat people? Yes, yes it would and that's the only reason anyone would make one.
So BioWare made it so you can play a fat guy so others would think it is funny? I have yet to see anyone making fun of those who do pick that option.

since MMOs are all about lack of self control and misspent real world time, the only reason i can see not to have fat avatars is because thats what 90% of the player base is in real life and they need an escape.

truth hurts, but if you tell them to go be fat somewhere else there goes 90% of the playerbase for MMos.

im in a salty mood today, so im going to go be aesthetic somewhere else before I rant.

Did you notice that all the 'Sewing' (Synthweaving) professions are done by female companions.

My guess for why there is body type 4 for males, which is a stocky dude with some extra padding, yet nothing equivalent for females is because male and female are different. Don't really see females built like linebackers, sorry.

Now if you're talking about obesity, that should in no way be a desirable thing. Unless diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and gurd are desirable. It wouldn't really set a positive image.

Besides its really only in wealthy 1st world nations that obesity is such a huge problem (badumtish).
