Honestly, I would love a game where a horribly out of shape person tried to save the world. It would be way more intense because my character will not outrun a gerbil let alone a crashing plane. I doubt that's what people talking want though.
Watching your character physically change over time as they pushed themselves to the limit with grueling exercise would be an amazing mechanic.
Start as Ugly Alloy. Enter the final fight as Hot Alloy.
GTA San Andreas did this years ago. You could pig out on fast food and Carl would get chonk. Conversely you could work out at a gym, or even just cycle a lot, and lose that weight. Sure the timeline was heavily reduced so it wasn't going to take literal weeks and months to change but it's still something that's been done before and could likely be done now if devs gave a shit.
The most amusing thing was how fat CJ had his own lines of dialogue for random events and insults. "IMMA EAT YOU FOOL!" He also had custom lines for different styles of clothing, like if you dressed rich vs gangsta. It goes by a lot of players unnoticed but I love attention to detail like that in games.
It would be a lot of fun.
