lol, the dova-waddler

We have also seen a lot of screenshots with no rain.

thus, rain cannot possibly be a weather effect in Skyrim.

Everyone in that game stays in shape because they are not lazy and have no fast food.

My logic meter is off the charts!

@ Pengman19: I'm just going to ignore people who post such statements towards me from now on If you can't take the thread seriously, don't reply. Agreed?


You cracked me up XD Funniest post I've ever read. Seriously. I actually laughed in real life from something I just read on the internet... That is RARE.


Exactly my thoughts!

HELL YES!

can a fat person out-run [any various monster in Skyrim]?

There is an entire race of fat sentient creatures (Sload). So fat creatures can survive realistically in the TES world.

???.

Its for the same reason that beast races have humanoid legs. It would take to long for the body builds.

It's actually not that hard to do. There is an Oblivion mod that allows this, it's a very simple concept (although it was not simple to implement, but for a developer it would be). http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=29853

I think that's what they're doing to implement the muscular/thin body variations already, I guess the problem with fat people is that they can't have six-packs and thus an additional set of textures would be needed.

EDIT: You just got to love the devoted fans and their silly explanations why everything Bethesda does not include has absolutely no reason to be in the game. :facepalm:

Seriously? You just used this as a comparison?

Know what? I'll take your reply seriously.

1) Rain and weather are something that has always been in TES, it's confirmed that there is snow, so we can 100% assume that there is rain. Plus, we've seen rain... man... as a dragon shout. Which implies for something.

2) Fat people weren't present in past ES games. We can assume that they won't be in this one either.

3) We've seen LOAAAAADS of characters from Skyrim. Not even ONE fat guy/woman.

4) It's problematic creating fat people as you'd have to change the models of all armors and equipments and dimensions to adjust them to the fat character.

5) Logic... man. Logic.

I used the word confirmed because I'm reasonable. I have a mind of my own and I am logical. I only used it after we've seen all the presets, I didn't say that there aren't any fat people before that. If there were any, trust me, they'd show them. Because there weren't any in past ES games.

I live to amuse!

So it's confirmed because you thought it was logically. I'm not saying you are wrong, because you are most likely correct, but your logic, no matter how good it may be, can not confirm something. I won't be expecting fat people.

All the fat in Skyrim goes to the muscles, that's why there are either beefy or thin characters.

They don't have to say "There aren't any fat people" to confirm that there are no fat people. They just confirmed it with the presets and all the screens they sent us.

I'm not saying there may not be someone like the last Dwemer who is fat! I'm saying normal NPCs won't be, and you can't be as well.

(another thing, which WAS officialy confirmed is that Pete/Todd stated that there were 2 body types, large and thin, which pretty much sums it up as well)

i think its just the face you can make "heavy"

Missed that last thing, sorry. Also, although this is completely irrelevant now, they don't necessarily have to have fat people as one of the pre-sets.

Fat people would mean basically modelling every piece of clothing, suit of armour twice and making sure that every gameplay animation and mechanic doesnt break because of fat people. It's not worth their time and it's nto worth your time to argue about it.

One more reason to get the PC version is that with mods anything is possible. :hehe:

But fat people can resist the cold weather better. And there's horses...

Dont care, maybe because i do exercices and i am not fat :celebration:

Im basically going with the idea that its to much time to model/create (and whatever else they do for characters)
Instead of the "not fatties in Tamriel", "Fatties are gross", "they cant survive", No Fast Food", "Its Tamriel, Not America" excuses

(Not all Americans are fat, I have seen pretty tough fat guys, and Its not just fat people that eat Fast Food, My friend Jesse is a lifeguard and training to be a bodybuilder but still eats Burger King and McDonalds on a daily basis)

So many off topic posts have been removed, and some of you guys will be hearing from me for flaming. :celebration:


I just know we can continue this conversation without resorting to cheap generalizations to make our points, right? Right.

One thing to remember is that in Earth history before the modern era fat people were rather rare. Most were very skinny simply because food wasn't readily available like it is today. Generally, if you were fat you were rich, which is also why "plump" women were considerd attractive back in the day. Similar to why pale women/men were considered attractive back then, vast majority of people spent most of their time out doors working fields and what not so most everybody was tan. Only the rich spent enough time in doors to be pale, which is why it was attractive....

Being chased by dragons obviously is good for burning calories...
