For the same reason that you can't walk around butt-naked with realistic (or sci-fi) genetalia hanging out... it's offensive to the general public's taste in entertainment.

I find it extremely offensive people think that female body type 3 is the "steroid" model.

Though if you are saying it is based off of entertainment standards (which yes, I agree are ridiculous, skinny anorexic girls, or honestly girls who are bony in any way are not my thing at all. I like a nicely filled out (not fat) woman. and body type 4 is probably the closest thing they have to that though that girl is still relatively lightweight, just got some good curves), but by those standards, how are fat guys appealing?

I can understand the concept of player characters being meant to be major heroes and as such would need to be in relatively great physical shape for all the traveling, fighting, etc....
But of course that eliminates the fat males also. I can understand that the force can augment agility within force user (make Darth Baras actually be able to move and fight) but as for non force users, the ranged ones maybe cause they sit back and shoot, but how are you going to have a big fat imperial agent DPS operative sneaking up close enough to sap, stab, sneak attack enemies?

Have you seen all that running around your character does? If that doesn't get you in shape I'm not sure what will

Because people would only make them as a joke. No one wants to play as or see a fat woman. You can declare that you're ok being enormous and that you want to reflect that in-game but you're lying to someone, yourself more than anything. 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.

Indeed true, I don't think anyone with weight problems is proud of it. I am overweight myself and not proud of it, if I was as big as alot of people, I can't imagine how I would feel. I am just lucky enough not to gain weight that easily despite how much I eat.

I don't do a whole lot to work towards losing weight, usually the reason obesity is an epidemic. For people who are unlucky enough to have low metabolisms, they gain and retain weight that much more.

Be careful what you post, customer service could come deleting posts or locking the thread if we dive to deep into political topics, fat bashing, etc...

guys, idk about you, but generally obese people are looked down upon. obesity is a negative thing. its unhealthy and wrong. so why would they encourage that image in a fantasy videogame?
