Where are all overweight people in Andromeda?

Right, and yet we are perfectly fine with seeing ugly or even average looking people... with the lengths people - especially woman - go to be beautiful even today? Quite selective, this vision of the future...

By the time of ME, science has advanced sufficiently that things like obesity and vision issues have been able to be corrected.

Also, it prevents BW from having to create more than one model.

DAMMIT! Does that also mean I'm not getting my fivesome with a turian, an asari, a krogan and a salarian wearing a top hat?

Seeing how much rage even a single line of dialogue can get that it sends BW to a lenght of making an official public apology, I think that lack of representation and inclusion of people of different body proportions, is a no small issue, and clearly deserves at least same kind of attention that other demographics receive.

Why does everyone have to be represented in one game, anyway? Especially when one takes up so many resources? When will we draw the line? There's room for the ENTIRE industry to represent everyone. God, if this keeps up they'll end up spending more time and resources representing everyone than actually making a good game. I'd rather they spend their time on fixing the technical mess and adding story driven DLC. BioWare can already be commended for representing some who hardly get represented at all - can't we just give them that and ask for more representation elsewhere?

Great. Now our next female Pathfinder is going to be ugly and fat.

Thanks Leo!

you welcome! 

I agree. 

except that there WERE overweight people in original trilogy. You need to refresh your memory.

Come on, they weren't that many...

I don't remember the c-sec guy but Anderson, yhea, he had a belly. Not someone I would call fat, but not an olympics swimmer either.

But there are still, following the hysterics logic, two major points:

1. While Anderson sure snacked a few nachos in his day, he could not really be counted as what we in good ol Germany classify as a Bordsteinpanzer - or sidewalktank for the uninitiated. I guess the expression is colorful enough?

There were no morbidly obese people on the citadel and, considering the possible applications of mass effect fields, they would even be able to move freely and unhindered.

2. Following the debacle of the sole two gay guys in MEA (one of whom belongs to the coolest people in the initiative, looking at you Gil, my poker playing bro), we have learned that having a 'few' people of a certain minority/kink/body image/whateverthefuckyouwanttocallit is clearly not enough and a form of vile discrimination on its own.

So, my point still stands, albeit slightly corrected: There were not enough fatties in the OT.

'Cus running on a treadmill was part of the Initiative's screening process

Simple: this is the future and the problem of obesity has been solved; people just take tablets to not be fat.

Of course that doesn't really answer it, because if there were a pill to stop obesity, there would still be some people who chose to look fat as a lifestyle choice (I guess).
