Is muscular human too muscular?

[Urinietszche]

I feel like I am playing primarch from WH40k, and everyone looks hillarious in dialogues with me.

[Clever Name]

Yeah, it's grotesque. Male or female.

I'd rather just be extra cut with slightly larger glamour muscles than the default body.

[Caledor]

This is diversitiy. Everyone is a super model.

Outside of your local ren fair how many fat out of shape people wearing heavy armor did you expect to see?

Every men in this game has a six pack. Every women is a super model.
You don't get a sixpack from wearing armor.

This is a medieval setting. Fad diets and gyms didn't exist.

In actual medieval times, people were too busy dying before the age of 35 to care about how toned and fit their corpse would look.

LOL you do when you're entire life is spent fighting, training and wearing armor. Oh yeah and running everywhere.

You still have a distinct neck, so comparing it to beefslab figurine land seems a bit much

Wearing armor, doing manual labor, and subsisting on a sparse diet--none of that results in the steroid-riddled freak that the muscular body type is.

These kinds of people would be lean and wiry, not bulky and ripped. It takes a lot of effort--specific effort, and diet--to get bulky from head to toe.

Wrong but thanks for playing.

This game is in no way representative of reality. If it was, we'd have all sorts of body shapes in the game and not just the differences between short and tall races. Nobody in this game is fat. Every single person is fit.

Idk why they refused to do sliders. Who cares if people make abominations.

Right? One of the things they mentioned was everyone's characters end up looking the same anyway so why bother (obviously paraphrased) and having seen screenshots from games with slider (and playing them), they aren't entirely wrong. LOL.

Look at the average boxer and football player--any athlete, really--from the early 1900s or before.

Before specialized diets, athletic men of any era before the current one, would be laughed at by today's standards, and called 'dad bods'.

People were either anorexic and half-starved, or mildly muscular with some marbled fat if they had access to decent food.

LMFAO go google pictures of laborers, construction worker and bricklayers from the 1800s and 1900s. Because I'm positive you never had anyone in your family do that sort of work for years and years and were able to see it first hand.
