Where are chubby girls? like that
This is a fantasy tale, set in the a medieval-esque period/time-frame... and you want 'diversity' of women? Particularly a 'diversity' of women's bodytypes, particularly that of chubby/fat women... in a game set in a fucking fantasy setting set in the Middle-ages/Renaissance!?
Most women would likely haved work out in the fields in this time-frame upon which the game is set, and supposing that the game is reminiscent to Real life. Most woman would have likely subsisted on pottages, with fish or meat sometimes being used from time to time (Depending on the region, of course, and on local laws et cetera).
Certainly, it would be very unlikely, for a large proportion of the population of women, to even get to the 'chubby' stage. And not what you think is chubby, because that image that you provided... is pretty much what I would define as 'normal'. Granted, there are plenty of ways of viewing how a woman can be defined within a 'weight group'... but I'd imagine that about 60-75% of men would view the image that you presented is not of a woman within the 'chubby' body-group.
Suffice to say, that in the period... it was very hard to 'get fat'... because people fucking walked... all the time. And they worked, all the time. Please take note, medieval people did not work like slaves as Hollywood would have you think, they worked in their own hours whenever they felt like it... but it was
work, and they
worked. And women sometimes worked so hard, that words used to describe women to this day, came from their work. Ever heard of a spinster, by any chance?
Does this mean that chubby/fat women can't be put into the game? No. Chubby/fat people existed... the problem is, is that they are going to be a rarity, not the norm. A well-written character who just so happens to be chubby/fat... I would be totally for it. But I'd like them not because they are chubby/fat, I'd like them because they are well written characters who just so happen to be chubby/fat.
But, as far as I am concerned there is only one diversity of women that I need. And it is best described by Chaucer.

Ye archewyves, stondeth at defense,
Syn ye be strong as is a greet camaille;
Ne suffreth nat that men yow doon offense.
And sklendre wyves, fieble as in bataille,
Beth egre as is a tygre yond in Ynde;
Ay clappeth as a mille, I yow consaille.
Ne dreed hem nat; doth hem no reverence,
For though thyn housbonde armed be in maille,
The arwes of thy crabbed eloquence
Shal perce his brest and eek his aventaille.
In jalousie I rede eek thou hym bynde,
And thou shalt make hym couche as doth a quaille.
If thou be fair, ther folk been in presence,
Shewe thou thy visage and thyn apparaille;
If thou be foul, be fre of thy dispence;
To gete thee freendes ay do thy travaille;
Be ay of chiere as light as leef on lynde,
And lat hym care, and wepe, and wrynge, and waille!
You arch-wives, stand ready for battle,
Since you are strong as is a great camel;
Suffer not that men do offense to you.
And slender wives, feeble in battle,
Be fierce as is a tiger yonder in India;
Ever wag your tongues like a windmill, I you advise.
Fear them not; do them no reverence,
For though thy husband be armed in mail,
The arrows of thy spiteful eloquence
Shall pierce his breast and also his neck-guard.
In jealousy I advise also that thou bind him,
And thou shalt make him cower as does a quail.
If thou be fair, where folk are present,
Show thou thy visage and thy apparel;
If thou be ugly, be lavish in thy expenditures;
To get thee friends always work hard;
Be ever in behavior as light as a leaf on a linden tree,
And let him grieve, and weep, and wring his hands, and wail!

I'd rather have a strong-willed, stout-hearted woman, who is not afraid to say what she means when she means to, and who isn't afraid to give a few punches. I wouldn't give two shits if she was chubby or thin, ugly or beautiful, big-tittied or little-titied. Because I don't give that much of a fuck relating to 'Diversity' of female body types... because I don't judge people by their weight or bodytypes. I judge them on their character, and on their personality, as we ought to, and on their actions, as people... and not as things.
If you are basing your diversity of woman solely on 'body-types'... than you and I are very different people. You might use the word diversity, in the expectation that it will make you more PC. But frankly, judging women by their weight or size and calling it 'diversity' is a sham. In fact, I'd say that it is more harmful, than good.
"I want fat women and thin women, and women with small tits and women with big tits!"
Yeah, well I want people, with feelings. I want people with flaws and strengths. I want straight-up well-written characters, I want characters with a brain between their heads, this is what I want. The mere fact that said character might have tits, a vagina and a bodymass of a certain size, is only secondary, to what should be most important. That the characters be
people, not things.
What I want. Is a diversity of well-written characters, not a diversity of tit and cock sizes or other-such arbitrary bullshit.
This is my viewpoint, and my opinion. This is my stance on the subject, as of the time this document is written.
