It also doesn't help that vast amounts of their equipment looks downright awful on BT3, male or female.

My male Jedi Shadow is BT3 and it's readily apparent I was supposed to roll him as a BH or Trooper because literally everything that drops for shadow looks awful on this body type, male or female.

I have to say in the months since i started this thread I've seen a lot more variation in body types. I think that's pretty awesome. I've also seen quite a few female body type 3s that look great. Some people have taken a lot of time and effort to find items that suit these fine ladies

At any rate, it's wonderful to see some diversity of shapes. Maybe someday they'll add some more.

Hmmm...Body Type 1 and 2 still seem to me, to be the prevaliant choice amongst the playerbase. Body Type 1 seems to be ahead, but Body Type 2 seems close.

Looking over the companions, do we have a body type 3 or 4 companion? I don't think I've noticed any yet for the females.

When it comes to companions (trooper spoiler):

On another note; my gf almost exlusively use BT3 for her characters (which are all female). So do I for my male characters at that.. BT2 just look so very scrawny. Pfft.

Speaking of elusive body types, I've never seen a player with male body type 1. Not even one.

I think all of my characters have that.

But - for Bounty Hunters, the voice just doesn't fit that body (German-language SWTOR). I had to delete this character because of that.

My Twi'lek main character actually looks much better with it that than all the other of my characters which have it.

I do use it, because I'm fairly small in RL as well (I'm male; I just cannot play female characters in an MMO as a man - funnily a female friend has exactly the same problem only in reverse so that she just isn't able to play any male characters in an MMO) - and I tried to transport this way of looking at everything into the game, too.

Pretty sure the Smuggler companion Akavvi Spar is a body type 3 female.

I'm quite sure about that as well. And - she looks quite good in the "relaxed jumpsuit".

When it comes to companions (trooper spoiler):.

She's a 2... I think Akaavi is the only BT3 among the female companions.

Most of my characters are female BT2-3, I'd say split slightly more towards #2 (generally based on class). Currently working on a MIrialan JC BT3

When it comes to companions (trooper spoiler):

 

I believe Elara Dorne (http://www.republictrooper.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/elaradorne.jpg) has BT4. She's the male trooper romanceable.

BT2 looks very scrawny? o.O I can imagine someone saying that about BT1, but not BT2.

Yeah, I think Elara just sort of looks like BT4 because her companion gear rewards are bulky armor.

Most romanceable female companions are body type 1 just because it's impossible for a male player character to be that small. It just makes things a little weird for most people if the lady is the bigger, stronger half of the couple.

That may seem a little sexist, but it's simple biological fact. Ladies, imagine being married to a guy who has to ask you to get things down from the top shelf and kill spiders and open pickle jars and change a flat tire on the car.

Men, imagine being that guy.

Kind of uncomfortable for everyone all around, huh?

Edit: I forgot when writing this comment that handicapped men are often in a position like that. My apologies for that; I didn't mean to imply that a relationship like that is an unhappy one. That's a different sort of situation, because a woman in that type of relationship understands that she'll need to do a lot of those little things and she's okay with it. It's also a rare situation with a rare type of woman.

Today I met this body type in slave dancer outfit - looked like a guy with *****, that's why people don't use it.

 

edit - breasts

that's exactly my same opinion.

horrible,disgusting muscled women.
