First off, this isn't a joke. I am not by any means making a funny here. I don't mean to offend either. I am seriously interested in this matter.

I don't mean to sound dull, but how come we can't have fat characters? I have been playing for 2+ years and have wondered this many times.

I myself think it would be great to have a rotund Hammer Warrior, or a jolly Necro. The fat monk is one of those historical necessities, isn't it? I mean, with the degree of customization available to us, why not include horizontal girth? An obtuse Elementalist or Mesmer lavishly attired would be great, I think.

Coming soon, GW2, right, wherein we will be able to play characters of different races (an inclusion that I thought had been rumored a year or so back to be part of Factions). Well, if we can make a Dwarf PC why not a chubby one?

So, who else has wondered this? I did a search for "fat" and came back with no entries....

All male warriors are fat. They seem even fatter when they are W/Mo and wearing black FoW. Norgu is pretty chubby too.

It would be cool if eating made you fatter (high sweet tooth = fatter character) just like in GTA: San Andreas.

Because.. Society doesn't find fatarse people appealing. Sexyness sells more, interests people more, and etc. That's just about why we don't have this feature.

well... when you're a hero, going from the island of Istan to the desolation to the realm of torment, fighting undeads, hordes of heket and getting eaten by a wurm, then facing Margonites that outnumber your party, without eating anything cept for cupcakes, chocolate bunny, crème brulé, sometimes beancake... with rice wine or dwarven ale... I don't think it's possible to be fat.

Fatness could work on a character made to look ugly. If it's a hideous necromancer, bulging with fat, slumped over, an ever-present, yellow-toothed grin on his face, wide glazed-over eyes...

I think more the issue is that they'd have to make two types of armor for every class due to body type. Odd how they can easily do that sort of thing in a game like Fable, yet in a MMO it's just too much.

have you not heard? Anet only employs supermodels and fires anyone over 35. Thus it is reflected in their products.

Neverwinter Nights allowed chubby characters.

Almost no one used those.

Because all the fatty nerds would have their feelings hurt.

I mean,they changed Jora simply because she would clearly intimidate them.

I thought that this board was more appropriate than Sardelac, sorry. But you are right, Sardelac is where I should have put this.

I don't see much of a difference besides the horrendous nipple-cup style chest armor, and the potbelly-ish looking stomach of hers.
