I am very excited about being able to control my character's body appearance. I really hope it is a well implemented and customizable feature. I also am hoping different bodies extend to NPCs. (I want a fat barkeep, not a fellow with a chiseled gut)

I intend on making my character as fat as possible, as to survive cold Skyrim. I hope that this will affect the way my character looks and behaves.
I would like to see buttons pop off of my character's shirts because he is so fat, or maybe my character will get very tired, or perhaps my character will have trouble fitting into cave entrances.

I really hope that not every character in Skyrim has a flawless body like in ES IV. I want to see fat.

a short pudgy khajit would be funny

though I really doubt my PC will be fat, I'd really love to see some diversity. Hail to the fat bartender!

my two first character won't be fats but maybe a third character could be fat xD

I'd love to play a fat Nord warrior.

Dual wielding mutton against dragons.

Everybody look at the http://gamerant.com/elder-scrolls-5-skyrim-new-screens-cj-65999/ of the tavern.

Is the barkeep fat enough?
I don't really think he is fat enough. My old boss was a lot fatter than this barkeep. I think being fat adds so much personality and flavor to people. It would certainly be good for Skyrim.

Here here!

The Breton voice from Oblivion would suit the Bartender a treat!

Give me a Fat spell / Thin spell akin to the Gypsy curse in Stephen King's "Thinner"

My first PC will have a little bit of chub, but not nearly enough to be considered fat. Just enough for puffy cheeks and some junk in her trunk.

I think ill make a fat orc and name him shrek :wink_smile:

Oh yes.

I want to create 'This Guy'-----------> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RT7OIFZ2mM&feature=related

I'll have several characters that I will swap back and forth between--at least one or two will be fat.

Yes, a fat knight.

YES

Well, there we have it. Undeniable proof the OP is a cannibal! :cheat:

As to fat chars, I seriously doubt we'll be able to make one, whether or not NPCs can be is a different matter. If we can make heavier characters though, I'll probably make one when bored one day just to see whats it like but I wouldn't be playing a serious save as one.

I'm not fat so I wont make a fat character since I try to put myself into my main character as much as I can.
On my fun character however, I will make one fat viking bastard with an huge axe or hammer and wear nothing instead of pants and helmet with horns!
Only wish they make it possible.

Off-topic:
Will there be any children in Skyrim?
I mean, it would be about time they make children run around also.
It simply feels too unnatural to see a world filled with only advlts. :spotted owl:
Also, will there be some old people.
I mean, really old like 'Can you get me my walking stick Billy?' Grandpa, my name is Stan.' 'Eh, what did you say Billy?', and stuff like that.
I always wanted to make some wizard that looks like he's 80 years old or something.
Also, if children are included, it would be kinda cool if I can make myself look like a teen ether.
Not that I will do that, but it would be cool as an option.
Also, for all people who will say that they don't want anime-like children heroes who kick advlt ass, think again.
Back then, children were considered men when they were 13-14 years old and if they didn't kill at least a dozen people by then, they were sissies.

I won't be playing a fat character, though it would be great to see some diversity in body shapes.
Maybe after a little while in I may, just like in oblivion with my fat Kahjit.

I might make a morbidly obese, axe-wielding psycho cannibal for an evil playthrough, but my serious characters are always pretty good looking.

I'll admit, the idea of an obese nerd-stereotype playing the role of the Dragonborn does have a campy, comedic appeal to it.

Children were confirmed a long time ago.


Divath Fyr in Morrowind is 4000 years old. Emperor Uriel Septim VII was over a hundred, I think. I don't think anyone in Nirn gets to be the type of old that you're expecting.


"Back then"? Back when? Nirn is not Earth-in-the-past.

Im quite the opposite of fat so no. I prefer to be able to relate somewhat to my PC if given the chance

If I do make a funny character, he will be a Nord with flaming red hair, huge beard and will be pretty much un-armoured.

I always thought it would be cool to have a correlation between attributes and physical appearance. It was wierd when NPC's said "look at the muscles on you" when my muscles had been the same since level 1. What about if and increase in strength resulted in an increase in muscular appearance, and an increase in endurance meant your character lost more and more fat. I'm not saying this for all attributes (luck and intelligence would be hard to implement, to name a few...) but it would be cool for some.

Nah.I dont want to be fat,not in a real life or i a game :shakehead:

Adventurers can't travel fat, so no.

Nah. Fable does that, and your character always winds-up looking a bit ridiculous. Plus it makes the women look like the men, which isn't too fun (although it is somewhat realistic).

Sweet!



Yeah, but they don't look like it.
In Morrowind you could look older (there were some certain faces that looked really old), but in Oblivion you could look like someone who has 50-60 years at most.



I was thinking about this world's age witch looks most like age TES world is currently in and that's medieval age.
