It requires time, work, money, and storage space to create a decent-looking video game sprite, and even more of the same to create a 3D model. Giving each individual character in the game a distinct look borders on madness. As a result, most video game worlds have only about seven or eight distinct body types for NPCs. This means that wherever you go, you'll see the same person over and over again... only it's not them! It's almost creepy, and starts to make you wonder if there isn't some massive cloning conspiracy going on. Basically, the nerd(ier) cousin of Only Six Faces.
