Why would you play a Smoker in Star Wars? Valve would never allow that!

I guess they want at least some realism. You can't save the planet as a huge fat guy/girl, you will have a heart attack before the first gunfight is over :P

The overwhelming health issue that they are seeing today is cancer, followed by obesity. People as young as 45 with major health issues requiring long term care due to their obesity.

Problem with America is that everyone feels that we should coddle and embrace their dysfunction rather then help them overcome it. This woman feels that, rather then understand that she has a problem, that we should not only ignore it, but embrace it.

She's fat, she needs to lose weight, praise her for first understanding that, then making the effort, not for being fat and proud of it. LOL
Obesity is bad..for anyone. But it seems women can tolerate being overweight more than men can. My granmother was overweight and until she fell and broke her hip she took care of herself, cooking, cleaning her house, grocery shopping, etc up to 92....she died peacefully in her sleep at 95. My granfather however was thin and lived to 88. I read a article not too long ago saying women can tolerate more belly fat than men can and being overweight does not affect them as bad as it does men. Some even reaching 100+ when a little overweight. But men....no men have ever reached 100 being overweight. They all have been thin. This was on MSN website the other day.
Trust is something which is earned.

Because fat chicks are, in fact, not allowed.

Bioware is very aware that many of its players are heavy set males. The reason body type number 4 for males appears fat on the outside, but muscular on the inside, is because it makes body images for the heavy set males easier. The original poster was correct, this is discrimination plain and simple. Femaie body type 4 is not even close to the male body type, and cannot accurately be described as fat. For those that have insisted that heavy set women didn't save universe in the movies, I don't remember seeing any male body type 4's as heroes in the movies either. Bioware & EA fix this issue, don't just sweep it under the rug.

Unless you are a man of course, then you can run around doing all that... at least in this game...
And it think that was the point the OP was trying to make...

I got a good laugh out of it when my body type 4 female Sniper accepted the Taris Bonus Series quest from a body type 4 female officer. The thought that popped into my head was, "Of course I'll help! Us fat girls gotta stick together!"

Seriously, though, body type 4 isn't fat on a male or a female. A body type 4 female still has like a 22-inch waist. And if you take the shirt off a body type 4 male, you'll see that he's actually a solid wall of muscle. He's a cube with feet.

Look at The Kingpin in the Daredevil comics. Or the WWE's Big Show. That's the basis for a body type 4 male. And a body type 4 female is basically Jayne Mansfield or Mae West. I wouldn't consider any of those people fat.

Are you ******* kidding me? You want the developers to spend time creating an unhealthy, fat chick, instead of (presumably) working on things that actually matter, and what the majority of players want? Just so you can go roll around the map wheezing and taking insulin shots as a medpac. The out of combat regen could be eating cake or something. Good plan.

BBWs bro, please. Use the correct term.

I am more upset that I could not add more "junk in the trunk" to my sassy afro-american character.
