Yeah, I've seen just as many buff men as tiny women. Rarely in my experience have I played a character that was incredibly old/overweight. That, I think, is just for playability. How am I supposed to run all over a map, or believe my character can actually fight a dragon if he's 350 pounds?

Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm not bothered by that. I use video games as an escape. If I wanted to play as a conservatively dressed, slightly overweight young adult, I'd go out and do the whole real life thing.

And maybe I'm just not playing the right games, but I haven't seen too much of the sexual objectification. In the games I play, women and men have similar armor, so I don't see a girl with a sword and a g-string.
