Probably been said somewhere in this mess, but honestly why would the heroes of this game be fat to begin with?
You run around on foot everywhere, and if your in medium/heavy armor that’s a serious workout. Could you imagine spending all your time walking around in hard-leather or even full plate-mail? You’d get toned real quick.
Not to mention, you are constantly fighting something/everything. This goes for all styles of combat. Fighting with melee weapons forged from heavy metals is a given, but if you consider that in most RPG lore, the use of magic is considered heavily taxing on ones body. While engaging in melee combat would get you thin from a workout standpoint, defeating enemies with magics could be perceived as physically draining and lead to an “unhealthy thinning” on ones appearance, essentially using your own life-force to cast magic.
That, and fat heroes rarely sell games. From a business standpoint people just don’t want to spend sometimes upwards of 12-14 hours a day looking at there fat character. Most of us are fat IRL already raises hand, why drag that in-game!
