Female body type four has a rather large behind but other than that isn't terribly fleshy. In the Star Wars universe, particularly the era we are looking at, a larger body type would be considered more attractive.

The body type celebrated in modern society would be considered vastly UN attractive. Mind you, I still shriek at the rear end periodically, and I am female, I just wanted a large woman for a Trooper because that made more sense to me than someone who could get blown away by the wind in combat. I wouldn't mind it if she were able to be larger though, I'd just like the rear to be a bit more proportional to the rest of her body, but clearly Bioware loves them some backside.

Because apparently being fat isn't Normal. Thanks to Society.

Actually there are 5 levels of fatness

Male body type 4 is clearly in the healthy category.

Body Type 4 isn't fat, he's muscular. For those of you who don't agree, simply look at him without his shirt on. Stomach? Muscle. Chest? Muscle. Arms? Muscle. Is the Hulk fat? No.

There are major differences in the fat male and female body types in most of these games.

I actually address it in my comic.

That is one reason I liked the customization system from SWG, you could make characters look, basically, how ever you might imagine them

In all seriousness I think it would be great if they had a plus sized body type for female toons. Beauty comes in all sizes and when you love someone you don't care how much they weight.

Male 4 isn't fat either, it doesn't actually have a real world analogue since it's the Hulk/Thing/Juggernaut bodytype.
Neither do women with spines.
I'd just like to register my approval that this managed to occur as post #69 for the thread.

Then why do family insist that skinny girls are anorexic and big girls are obese and have to go to rehab?

Ahaaaaaaa. Think about that. Weight DOES matter when you love someone.
