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!
Dear lord, I only read your post and I can only imagine the sarcastic responses you've gotten so far.

I actually agree with you though. Why not just let the females have a body type 5? And let males have a 5th body type that's between 1 and 2 (or heck even 3 and 4).

There are multiple threads on this, it's pretty sexist.

I can totally see how it doesn't bother some people - that's fine - but it is definitely offensive to some. I'm not a girl so I have no dog in the fight... I just find it kinda silly to be honest.

It honestly makes me imagine all these nerdy devs sitting around a table designing the female characters, and refusing to put in larger females because they will find it a turnoff...

well, it isn't just this MMO. In fact, I'd wager that most RPGs, single and MMO, refrain from offering large females.

Having a fat character will not make the elevators go faster.

but you wont give more love.. which effectively means less love per square inch.

But in all seriousness, yes its silly there is no fat man/woman option, on the otherhand, its also logical there isnt. There have been more then enough games out there that do let you customize your character to be fat , but that option is hardly ever used by players, sadly regardless how right or wrong it may be, it makes perfect sense to put time and efford in populair styles instead of body times that end up close to unused.

It certainly doesnt make it right, but does make it understandeble.

What cracks me up is all the people saying the type 4 male isn't fat. That dude is a WHALE.

And it's not like there aren't fat Jedi in the game. The "Darkness on Ilum" questgiver, for example: 100% blubber. (But it's okay, apparently, because he's a man.)

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!

Regards
I'd rate them as:

1- Anorexic and half dead, should be able to run more than a meter.
2- Anorexic with muscle definition and stamina.
3- Athletic.
4- Normal woman but a bit on the tall side of normal.
