I have a theory why Abby is this bulky.
It's a popular trend to replace existing protagonists with women (Cassie Drake), however they refuse to acknowledge obvious physical differences, so these women just do everything men do, and more.
Originally, Nadine did not exist, it was supposed to be Sam, Sam was going to be 50% "bad", plot twist, he's good now.
When they made the change they added Nadine, but instead of being reasonable, they changed the gender but not the power. So here you have a woman beating the shit out of two grown men like it's nothing.
Abby is pretty much not-Joel, gameplay would look jarring as a normal-sized woman.
So, do you change gameplay? Do you make her a man? No, you want all female protagonists coming into TLOU3 and Uncharted 5, so
That's 200 pounds of steroided up woman, baby.
She is going to be the main star and on the front cover of TLOU3. Feel free to call me out if I'm wrong.
