> why is the breast slider in Dragonage Veilguard limited so that players can create only characters with small breasts

You have a game where you can wear different armor and clothing and you think the body shapes are restricted because of some grad woke conspiracy?

Ever thought about how you would make the armor look good with huge breasts? It would either clip, look silly stretched or you you have to make an extra big_boob version that would be an huge overhead. It is super normal that character creation in RPGs has some limits so that all equipment still fits you.

Also THAT is your problem? Are you for real? We are not even talking about the conventional western beauty standard anymore, that is just your very specific preference for huge boobs.

You might want to listen less to right-wing grifters that make up stories where there is nothing.

No, are YOU for real? You thinks it's technical limitations that limit breast sizes and it's that assets would look stretcher? Or that the game engine couldn't handle big boobs assets? An incase you haven't noticed character creation in games usually allows you create all kinds of weird looking characters without it somehow hitting those magical limits that somehow apply to breast sizes apparently.

The breasts slider was just an example of "representation" not being actual representation and you need take time out and reflect on why big breasts in video games make you upset.

> Or that the game engine couldn't handle big boobs assets?

Given the choice between creating new "big boob" asset models for most of the many outfits in the game and simply capping breast size, it's hardly surprising that the developers chose the cheap, easy option.

Anyway, what alternative explanation are you proposing? Prudishness? The game has plenty of sex scenes, so it's not that.

> The breasts slider was just an example

Well it was a bad example. Dunno what to tell you.
