    Perhaps, it is the contrary - the games are a productfied view of someone's alter ego fantasy. If they weren't they wouldn't sell. It would seem in a parallel world we are willing to pay to picture ourselves as strong, ripped men, or buxom females. Perhaps because in the real world it has become more and more difficult to attain those ideals.

    Also, I reckon justifying someone's ability to leap from a rood and not injure themselves permanently is easier if they are athletically fit. A 400lb wastrel would only ever be able to do it the once. Same with scaling buildings, or spending 40-60h sprinting through the landscape. You'd get fit if you weren't to begin with!
