because of pure aesthetics. It nicer to look at them. Besides, who would want to play as a chubby female anyways... (OK, don't answer that) but still, who'd you want to see on the ad on your company's billboard?
Simple fact is that hot chicks sell better.
(Besides the little fact in story line that says that every person was hand-picked to be saved from earth to fight the bane... fat people aren't that good in combat you know, plus hard training will get you in shape.)
very true + as we all know it attracks the 14year old kids nowdays so game companys add hot looking female avatars and it sells , you might have a problem with it then dont play the game tbh i find this game pretyy good , iv played swg,wow,gws,rs,l2,eq. pretty much every mmo and they are all same just diff type of play styles/gfx.
i dont see why people have a issue with female chart's course it might not be a female for 1 im a guy and i play a female i had enuff of looking at my males toons ass in wow and swg and gw.
just my 2 cents
