I really do not get it.
Fireballs flying around do not happen in real life. I have nothing to compare them against. Willing Suspension of Disbelief allows me to accept that they are real, in this situation--I can't say that it's impossible for a fireball to be that big, because magic doesn't exist.
Women exist. Women with those proportions are unrealistic and it occuring naturally is very rare, and would cause her only problems in a battle setting. The entire population of Thedas appearing thus so is similar. I can compare it against reality and find it wanting. If reality is found wanting in this fantasy setting, suddenly immersion is broken: it is no longer a viable world with a story grounded in reality, that makes it compelling and intriguing.
I fail to see how such proportions would negatively affect her in battle. I have had my ass handed to me multiple times by a woman with such proportions (this was sparring in a tawekwondo program) and had no problems with fighting, myself. You ignore the fact that women of such proportions are used to their bodies.
That said, not everyone is of such proportions and portraying everyone as such is unrealistic.

haven't ever met a girl interested in D & D or diablo 2
I love D&D and once ran an all-female gaming group. Never met another girl who played Diablo, though....
