Will Bethesda's prejudice against overweight people ever end

Post » Wed Mar 27, 2013 9:03 pm

I've held my silence far too long. I'm an avid roleplayer and fan of TES games but am sick of not being able to truly play as myself in their games. A big lardy mcbutterpants. I've tried to roleplay it by religiously sticking to first-person view and eating lots of food but it's just not the same. Like when Camilla Valerius tells me I'm a "Strapping young man...", what I'd rather she did was reject my offer of dinner and a movie, tell me I'm a bug fat [censored] and nobody will ever love me and perhaps give me some diet advice. I'd like random strangers to hang out the side of passing carts or on horses and shout "YOU FAT [censored]!" before leaving at speed like they do in real life. I want to be able to sprint only 10 or 15 meters before running out of stamina and having to sit on a wall for 5 minutes.

You know that illusion spell that leads you to your objective? I'd like one that leads me to FOOD!

Please Beth, make a space for fatties like me in your next game. It's not fair.

There are some armours that look rather pudgy on men - Stormclock Armour, for one, Scaled Armour.

I only want to see the fat Bourgeoisie folk, overweight peasants don't really fit in with how I equate things. But then, everyone being musclebound doesn't work for me either. :P

I'm pretty sure that you can't be fat in vanilla because you're always fighting and losing weight.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=15572 mod should help you with the weight slider, although I've never tried it, as I am PS3.

This. I want to be a fat noble and I want to smother my rival noblemen (Nazeem) with my large stomach.

*groans at the title*

Characters in video games are hardly fat unless they are the lazy ass hat type of villain.

Any mod that claims that it is 'realistic' for a Steel Sword to weigh so little...

There is a problem with that. It dosent fit in with the lore. You're a warrior. You've been fighting and training and such so you would be in shape. Also it dosent fit in with the time period. Everyone was hardcoe workers in that time period.

And it is for this reason why weight sliders should exist. I assume you'll be doing this with a fistful of graqes in one hand? ;)

Only nobility would even be able to get enough food to be fat in that time. And besides, your constantly getting a workout, you would be fat for long.

And when's the last time you watched a movie where the hero was morbidly obeis.

Excuse me but who says I want to constantly get a workout in the game? Maybe I just want to sit in Hadvar's house all day eating sweetrolls. And chicken legs. And butter.

And yeah, maybe there aren't many morbidly obese heroes in movies. They're prejudiced against us as well! I've written countless letters to Hollywood about this asking them for a fat Jason Bourne or James Bond. The bad guys could be international criminal groups hell bent on crippling the western world's fast food industry. It'd be an absolute smash hit at the movies, all the fatties would like to watch James Bond single handedly save the western fastfood industry. You'd have to make extra large cinema seats to cope with the sheer PSI of all the fatties squeezing their way in. Maybe attatch emergency oxygen tanks to the back row seats for the ones out of breath after walking up the stairs. But dude, there SHOULD be morbidly obese heroes in movies. I'm just saying... there IS a place for them like in the example I just gave. You just need to use your imagination.
