The Games That Allow Plus Size Character Creation

gamerant.com:

Character creation is very popular, especially in RPGs, for many reasons. Players can make original characters, which gives them a more intimate connection with the main character and allows for creativity. The games that began this trend of character creation were multi-user dungeons back in the 70s. Since then, it has evolved to be a big part of the video game genre, in hit titles like Animal Crossing, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy 14, Elden Ring, The Sims, and so much more.

However, there are limitations in character creators that have been tiresome for many gamers. These limitations have ranged from gender-locked character creation options to lacking hair options for BIPOC characters. Another option that games have lacked is specifically in having plus-size characters. While games often let players adjust the height of their characters (and often breast size for female characters), there is a major lack of options for character body fat. The games that do have these options, however, deserve positive attention for doing what other titles did not. Hopefully, these titles will pave the road for more inclusive character creators in games.

The amount of games that have the option for fat protagonists is very low, and that has a lot of gamers making mods to do what the developers did not. Even in games with fat options, players still make mods because the sliders are often quite limited. A lot of games make characters thicker in their sliders instead of actually fat. It is a great disappointment, as it shows video games suffer from the same sort of body-type rigidness as so many other forms of media.
