In the illustrations in his book, Saul looks pretty cool. Gaunt with long hair, a lost prophet. But all those years of debauchery haven't slimmed him down in the mission itself. It is obvious that after those sessions of drinking, gambling and womanizing, he still remembered to hit the pie shop on his way home.

You can do better than this Anet.

Liked the mission btw.

I agree with this. Earlier depictions of Saul made him have the appearance (not posture) of the tall and awesome Master of Whispers. Now he's kinda a goofball.

All monks are fat.
Hell, practically the warriors are fat too.

Saul just looks like a creepy dude that would be the proprietor of a porn shop.

Is this an extension of the joke "change Confessor Dorian back" thread?

You do realize that any depictions of saul seen in books, ingame imagery (except for the BMP), etc would be artists conceptions of how he looked right? For example, we have these wonderful books full of pictures of dinosaurs, all in varying shades of green, grey, blue, etc. Nobody was alive however, so these colors are just guesses based on what we see in nature now. These is some evidence in the fossil record that these colors are somewhat accurate, but in the end, it's just a guess based on what we see in nature now with regards to lizards, etc. The same goes for saul, he's a historic figure in the krytan past, but before the events shown in the bmp, he was pretty much a nobody and he disappears at the end of the bmp mission, so everything known about him is second and third hand information. Nobody wants to remember their hero as a drunken oaf, they'd much rather make him into something that is a much more idealized form. Leave him as he is

Umm... isn't that the point?
I mean, the White Mantle revear Saul as the founder of their religion, and it turns out he is a fat drunk.

This isn't reasonable at all. Hopefully the Anet team will worry about something else.

We always knew he was a drunk, but not that he was fat.

And no, it's not a reasonable request. But...... just can't get over his girth. Fatter than a normal monk, even? Maybe that was the delay with the BMP, fattening him up.

Its all because of the cape!

When Edna Mode says no cape, it is wise to listen, see what happens! your character look fat, get laughs at, and it gets kidnap!

Turai should be more of a strategic warrior type instead of a big fat ass giant guy. I mean shit, he's so huge I felt like a fat ass playing the game!

He's not fat, He's wrapped-up. Too much clothing.
