i know there was vic in fallout 2 i forget other fat people but i was wondering why there are no fat people in fallout 3 and nv and i was wondering if they where gonna make some in fallout 4 or atleast a scripted fat people like in certain areas a dead fat guy/girl with a pack of dogs nearby and disemberd limbs and stuff like that

Food is expensive, and earnings are low (compared to the modern western world). Fatness typically occurs when a body is consuming more food than it needs for immediate uasage and so it stores it. Your average wastelander in the game simply isn't wealthy enough to afford enough food to be fat. They also get more exercise by having to walk most places or work in jobs that require a lot of physical labour.

LOL FAT PEOPLE HORDING ALL THE BRAMIN STEAK (:

I think the lack of operational fast food resteraunts has something to do with this

Very Simple. Engine Can't Handle it.

When did we start talking about cars? Lol
but I thought they where getting skyrim or somthing couldn't that handle it?

I don't think it's anything to do with scarcity of food within the Fallout universe. It's because the engine just makes one body texture for men and one for women and applies it to everyone.

There's a new engine for Skyrim which will allow Bethesda to implement different body types, so you'll see fat people in Skyrim and Fallout 4 probably.

I hope our character can be fat. I'd probably kill myself to laughter before the end of the first playthrough.

Cardio. How are you supposed to outrun a deathclaw if you can't see your feet?

Why? It'd hardly be that funny.

I'd force him to wear tight costumes and make him exercise. :teehee:

Fat people turn into ghouls. Its simple logic. Most food is irradiated and people who over eat self radiate to the point of ghoulification. Tadaa!

I think that the swampfolk in Point Lookout looked more normal than the regular humans in the game.
I mean, listen, I know they're deformed and crap, but at least there was 3 different models, they all behaved differently and looked different.
All regular humans in the game all look the same.
Even their faces can melt together from time to time.
So FO3 and NV were like walking around a land of clones.
The Den had a lot of homeless people and they all looked the same but I understand why they did so. (Considering the amount of critter animations.)
But in FO3 and NV I don't understand it and since the old games were about "The couch is broken to hell and back" when clicking "inspect" on it we can "see" in FO3 and NV that the couch is obviously broken to hell and back since it's FPP.
Anyway, mutants looked more normal than humans to me... Now that's a bad sign.

I really hope that FO4 includes:
Fat.
Skinny.
Muscular.
Overly muscular.
Piercings.
Tattoo's for face and body.
Scars.
More hair and beard variants.
And misc. (Molls, zits, wrinkles et cetera.)

And I think that fat people should show royalty, only people that earn a lot of money and can sit on their ass all day can become fat in the wastes.
So fat people would be obvious choices for robbers to attack.

Body type:
Normal body option. Neither underweight, fat or very muscular. Your average person.

Skinny body option. Underweight.

Fat body option. Overweight, chubby.
Obese body option. Very overweight, like really fat.

Fit body option. A little more muscular than the Normal body option.
Muscular body option. Like a regular at the gym.

Height:
Average height

Short height
Very short height

Miscellaneous body options:
Tattoos, face
Tattoos, body
Piercings
Scars, face
Scars, body
Moles
Freckles

Age slider (also shows the age, 16 - 65):
Options of wrinkles, where you want them and how distinct you want them when you make your character older.
Options of acne, where you want it (why you want it) and the amount of it as you make your character younger.

Things that are obvious:
Skin colors
Eye colors (better eyes, please. They're so milky)
More hair types!
More beard types!

That sounds awsome

Gizmo from Fallout 1.

Also, I want dwarfs and midgits to come back.

ha ha fat people in leather armor and power armor running around (:

When was the last time you looked at your feet when you were running... Shouldn't you be looking where you're going?

If you get big enough I suppose you could roll downhill...

I reccomend you watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9UwlAAnlmg

Maybe fatness will be some kind of S.P.E.C.I.A.L. perk. The less fat you are, the faster you run. That would be amazing...running in a Fallout game. If only If only

No the power armour would be streched and only makes it halfway down there torso

I don't get why people are saying fat people can't run or move, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqz1ojIQTBk.

:ahhh:

Yeah, I bet you are. :meh:

What? Those bastards... It was Weird Al's "Fat" if you want to look it up.

I want to be an argonian.
