I'd actually love an alternate start where the town dunce beginning forces a blonde hued hairstyle. And I am blonde!

Then they need to add fat physics.

I have blonde hairs in my moustache

Edit: For real it's so wierd XD

You always have to consider that not everyone can go from fat to skinny to muscular the same way(or vice versa) because people fall somewhere into a certain body type; mesomorphic, endomorphic, and ectomorphic, or a combination between them. So large people (but not necessarily fat) can exist in the wasteland just like skinny people and muscular people. Thats why in real life you have some guys with huge frames who can do somersaults and cartwheels.

They do seem to be using something (~maybe a lattice deform?) to allow for variable body types, but to do the extremes they would really have trouble with all of the clothing models; and presumably all of the animation events with stools and benches, and anything else interactive... including melee combat.

As a fluffy individual myself...I cannot deny being able to recreate myself more honorably would be a selling point.

Gizmo in Fallout 1 was fat.

Indeed, and in the game, he could not move from the desk... But it's also quite a different situation than in the Gamebryo engine. Fat NPCs could have been easily done in FO3... if they did not have the option to interact with clothes and canned animation in VATS/and pods, and chairs, benches, and such. They would have been done as creatures (like the feral ghouls), and as not modular NPCs.

Yeah I like this idea lol

Haha, its hard enough trying to out run a dealthclaw being fat & slow will reduce your choices to stand and fight or test who has the bigger mouth and stomach

I've always loved the age options in role playing games as well.. "Look at my level 1 aged wizard!". "He didn't decide to do anything with his life until the age of 125!" At some point you are bound to run into an Npc who believes you to be some punk kid. Many a role playing video game has age options.. not one of them takes the age option into consideration.

I saw a leaked picture of the character creation screen earlier, but I'm not sure if I should confirm or deny being able to make a fat character.

Is this more or less realistic than exploding someone's head with a teddy bear cannon? XD Seriously though, who cares? Let people go completely Saints Row 4 with it if they want.

Haha! Yes! They have it! I'm gonna have so much fun customizing come 12 pm today! XD

Points for wanting to play "as Winston Churchill's evil twin brother with a monocle and a tophat"

I made a fat jedi in the old republic and I thought it was the coolest thing I ever made, wish more games would let you do that too.

Fatout 4. Seriously though, squeezing yourself into the power armor must be a pretty awkward process.

Just need Frank Horrigan's power armor.

Now this is an option that will be difficult .. I mean, if I start off portly, I'd think that all my running around during the rest of the game should turn me into a pretty svelte individual. (unless all I do is heal myself with sugar bombs and snack cakes.)

A part of me wants to make a fat Vernon Dursley for my Evil Playthrough.

In Dragon's Dogma I can create a really fat and really tall or extremely short character if I want.

That is a Capcom game.
