Turok 3: Danielle

I was very disturbed when I saw the profile for Danielle. She is a 27 year old woman who is 5'11 and 120lbs. It is a physical impossibility for a woman of her stature (tall, muscular and with full breasts) to weigh only 120lbs. The ideal weight for a woman of medium build and 5'11 is 155, which I'm sure doesn't include the amount of muscle mass required to fight dinosaur hybrids and other villains. Her body mass index is only 17; anything below 20 is considered low, which brings up health problems. She would be only skin and bones and completely incapable of the combat she performs on the game. I feel that the creators of this game should have done more research instead of guessing at this woman's weight. I feel that it misrepresents the weights of women, which can be a dangerous thing in today's society where bone thin women are considered beautiful and weight is an issue in every women's magazine. At 5'4 and 122lbs, (which by the way, is only 2 pounds off of my ideal weight of 120)I wonder what the creators of this game would think I should weigh- 85 lbs? I think not. No, I don't have the muscles to fight dinosaurs, but I am by no means fat. And muscle and bone weigh more than fat anyway, because they are more dense. So Danielle would probably weigh more than 155. Needless to say, I was appalled by this oversight.

re: Turok 3: Danielle

you shouldn't be so hard on the makers of turok 3 It was most likly an honest mistake. Ether way I can tell you now nobody takes this game that way. In a game where you get a "Black hole gun" no one thinks of the womens shape or size.
