Fat norn chick

More cushion for the pushin', but thats cuddly at most, not fat. Would also love to be able to make a character so fugly that parents would cover their childrens eyes when I walk past.

Games usually let you make ugly or rugged looking males. Females are almost always bouncing cartoons. In Aion players can truly make alien looking characters or completely unrealistically beautiful characters. Though Aion is about the only MMO I know of that allows that kind of freedom for both genders.

It was refreshing as hell in Rift to have female figures that were not cartoonish and fit/muscular while still looking feminine. We also got TOR where face options are diverse but body type is limited to 4. To quote Mike B; there is 1. needs a triple cheeseburger, 2. needs a double cheeseburger, 3. enjoys a cheeseburger and 4. really likes cheeseburgers.

XD

GW2 character creator looks way more diverse but still humanistic. If you look at some of the videos closely you can see hints of ethnicity without being caricatures for the humans and norn. That's really difficult to pull off effectively because of the way humans (IRL ones) process the human face the closer it is realism.

This. I dont want to play cartoon chars, if I wanted to I would break out the old Tomb Raider games and watch Laura bounce about. I want to have the options of being fat, ugly and as unusual as I can. Its only fair to all of us if we were given that option, for both sexes that is. There are so many people in need of cheeseburgers in MMOs that I start to fear for the cows in this game.

Thanks for agreeing in advance?

Whoops... I meant... Milanor. By time I got to the bottom of the thread I could have sworn it was your post. Seeing as how it was constructive and made sense.

i agree with this thread, i want a stocky looking guardian, as for "fat people cant be fighters" i'd like to refer you to the worlds strongest man competitions, the majority of them seem to have very little actual muscle tone, most of them look plain fat, but i doubt you'd want to mess with one

Those guys aren't straight up fat though. The human body can't lose fat and gain muscle at the same time because both use too much energy so fat people actually build muscle way easier than skinny people unless you have really good genes. I wouldn't want extremely fat models ingame because it is in a medieval setting and wouldn't make much sense to have really fat people anyway because of the lack of food. Now chubby models I could deal with.

[Durzlla]

You shouldn't be able to make a FAT, and i mean really really FAT character, however i know for a fact you can have a norn with a bearkeg stomach, and i'm fine with that. The heroes shouldn't have to be in perfect shape, but it should at least be in good enough shape that it's believable that they're out there fighting...

PS: You can totally make your character one ugly fucker from some of the character design things i've seen, you can't really make them super fat or anything though...

@ vilhelm1992 I'm pretty sure you COULD look like those guys in GW2, they're not really fat in the way i think most of us are thinking fat...

i'm sorry what? there was no fat people in medieval times? those people pretty much just ate LARD... and if anything people in GW2 should be fatter since there are portals everywhere..., also yeah as you said, so why cant there be people in a fantasy game that are also fat and strong?, its just how i envision my character and would be a shame if i couldn't make him at least noticeably fat

Well there weren't fat people as we have fat people now (like McDonald regulars), period. However, they did have people that were on the bigger side but they were all higher class, and were entirely non existent in the lower class, and were very rare in the middle classes of society.

However, what you're wanting to go for was totally there so you shouldn't have a problem making one... and i'm not sure if the portals would make a lot more fat people in tyria lol, never thought of that!!

they still weren't fat because of a lack of food, they just often had some form of disease or parasite. as said by Stephan fry

And since when did logic got anything to do with a fantasy game fighting mechanics? I repeat..a fantasy game.

the whole "its fantasy so logic doesnt matter" argument is illogical and stupid

im tired of people using it

Aaw. Better stop argue against it then
Since magic in itself is a illogical it makes your resistance against it a fallacy.
But hey, lets not argue anymore. You can protest all you want and I can whine all I want about not being able to make fat chars.

I'm fat but not strong, so my picture wouldn't necessarily fit here. Besides, I'd likely get sued if I posted it publicly.

But for example these two seem terribly strong, they'd definitely whoop some asses here:

Lmao that made me laugh. But really there is no reason there can't be fat /strong people I didn't mean to make my post sound like no fat models at all though lol. I think if it was an option most people wouldn't pick the fat models and so it would make things seem more realistic with only a few people playing fat characters.

i dont care about you wanting fat toons

why is magic "illogical"? in most fantasy settings magic can best be described as another fundamental force of the universe akin to the strong force, the electromagnetic/weak force and gravity

in addition many magical effects (evocations especially) can be explained using physics the only leap you need to make is the possibilities of people being able to manipulate matter, such as making molecules vibrate to produce fire, making them slow down to create cold and forcing a current of electrons to create electricity

if you're so opposed to magic in games maybe you should stick to MW3

As someone stated, if small gnome-like creatures (Asura's, gnome-like in height at least) can hit as hard as say.. A Norn, then a fat dude running around in plate armor doesn't seem that insane.

Isn't one of the character creation options something along the lines of 'from royalty'... Even in 'medieval' times, nobles, landowners, anyone-with-money, were noticable due to their chubby nature... Or perhaps it's just that every movie has always portrayed them this way... If you can afford the food, you eat it... apparently very messily : )

Also, the clipping excuse is just dumb... Fat people really don't have issues with doorways... Though I suppose part of the problem, already pointed out, is the definition of 'fat' is subjective...

And fat may be related to fit, but it's not the same thing... Plenty of 'fat' people are also fit, and can act accordingly, but I agree that it's the exception, not the rule : )

Lastly, consider Kevin James (The King of Queens)... Hefty man that does a LOT of physical acting... And for those old enough, that comedy actor that was on coke... lemme check imdb... Chris Farley... Even bigger (I think), and a physical actor.
