Well, they arent much smaller than in the games since the relaunch. Reason why they were so big was just technical limitations. You cant do small breast and have them look the least bit round with the size of polygons at that day and age.

That doesn't really sound quite believable imo. There were plenty of smaller details on her in that picture, so why couldn't the chest area have been made smaller? No, I think it was just a case of trying to cater to an adult/teenage audience with sex and violence + not wanting to spend too much money on it.
The box art, yes. Ingame? Ingame it allready was a triangular rod. Unless you mean 2 dimensional "details" which is a texture thing, not a 3D modelling thing.
I just notice here hair and even backpack has textures that look authentic enough and probably don't take away from gameplay, so why would you have to do the chest area any different? Would be easy enough to make it smaller, or bigger with little less realism possibly.
Exactly. They have textures. Textures are not a big deal, thats just pictures... Now the 3D part as you mightve noticed her breast isnt simply painted on, they couldnt get polygons small enough.
Yes, but my point is why even go for that big B's then? Obvious answer. And why couldn't they have made smaller or used textures to make them big like they did with the backpack? (same answer) What about the shape of the other body parts etc.
So my point of view stands. I don't think it was just due to technical limitations. Maybe they played a role, but it surely must have been a deliberate decision to make them like that to a large extent.
(I'm gonna guess we're both guys, considering our ability to make a conversation about boob size into a serious and almost scientific matter of great importance)
They were allready so small that they looked very pointy. If you want to have more roundness in a smaller area you need more polygons for your wireframes. Thats why charackters today have more polygons in their faces than they had at that time for the whole body. And more polygons making up one breast than they had back then for their faces.
Nevertheless, im sure one can reasonably argue that if big breast were universaly seen as negative (i personaly prefer them smaller. Ideal size 2 hands full imo.) they wouldve worked on a better solution.
