I'm not familiar with Borderlands, but... why should it matter at all, unless you're writing something specifically about her weight? If we can only write about people in our life circumstances, I guess I'll have to leave off writing about princesses, ghosts, vampires, serial killers, short people, men, straight people, Asian people, people who live in the USA, people who live in Britain, people who lived before 1985... I'd be left with a pretty small number of people to write about.

Also, how would fandom know how much you weigh/have ever weighed?

With some things it can throw you out of the story if you include something wrong, even if it's a minor detail. (Like a throwaway line about how goat hair yarn is called angora, by someone who should know it's not)

It came up in an old scans_daily post about Fables, where the comic was about how Rapunzel was so helpless with her quick-growing hair in modern life and how could anyone hide/manage long hair? There was instantly about three pages of replies from people that had long hair about how to manage and hide it. Headscarves. Tuck it into the back of a jacket. Wigs. Braids. All sorts of ideas, pretty much anything but have it loose and free-flowing down your back for the mundanes to watch grow. It was fairly obvious that in a comic plot about long hair, no one involved had ever had long hair.

Basically people tend to divide fiction into "the fictional parts" and "the reality parts". Like if you have a vampire couple in New York most people will not go "Oh, obviously since there's vampires it's a fictional alternate history where New York City is actually located in modern day Utah. Duh." You have to spell that shit out.

It's how stuff can develop fanon ideas that people confuse with reality or just accept as canon (How many time has the phrase "real vampires don't sparkle" been uttered, usually using something like Dracula or Buffy to indicate that sparkly vampires don't fit with the accepted headcanon of the person?)

So I can see someone wanting someone with a better idea of the physical stuff involved to beta, like the smoking-beta who commented above.
