Baldur's Gate : The Sword Coast Chronicles : NWN2 Persistent World

I do not know, if such topics exist already, but some NPCs are just too tall. I've created a Half-Orc, and let's consider, that maximum height game allows us to youse is a top of average.
So we have:

• Half-Orc: 6'4" max
• Human: 6'2" max

But what i see, when i come in BG? Some "plain" guardsmen is taller, than my character.


Thats not all: All plain Pirates in Roaring Shore are also have height maximum for average Half-Orc.


But finally, i met one of Krausers. Seriously? Is it a joke, or they have some over 7'5"ft. club there?


So, we have atleast 3 super-tall NPC types here:

• City Watch Officer (BG)
• Pirate (Roaring Shore)
• KRAUSER (Roaring Shore)

I feel myself uncomfortable in company of following NPCs in terms of RP, and I hope, that some players will support me.
I kindly ask administration to see trough this, and fix their height: it is not a hard job to do

Prehaps those 3 are just the "odd ones out" of the general population who ate their brusselsprouts?

Dont recall ever seeing it being mentioned as an immersion-issue before. Altho i do recall once seeing a child the size of an adult ... altho that was a DM quest, so... I dont think it's a concrete issue unless it affected every NPC out there, but a few? ... I for one like that there is varriation in the npc pool when it comes to such details. It's like in "real life" if you will. There will allways be someone Taller or stronger or *set name of peticular aspect of ones facy here* - out there.

O-oh, please, do not make me screen every Officer, Pirate and KRAUSER on server XD
All Krausers are obviously 7'2"ft+ tall, all "Pirate" and "Officer" NPCs are taller than a Half-Orc.

Use scrolls of Greater Reduce Person on them (15gp ea). Problem solved for 90 mins.

But it is question of RP I could understand exceptions, but not everyone being so large.
Or let me have a size of a KRAUSER too ^^

7" is the new average. get with the times.

It seems like only NPCs got in, but not the players :/ We are still in the old height numbers.

Wait until you see the PC population. Every single halfling is minimized in size, and a large amount of characters from other races are as well, especially elves. You could probably pick them up with one hand and just hold them like bigby's crushing hand. Not easy to take them seriously

Eheh, we can use STR roll against DEX one, and it is their choice xD

All due respect Karond but when it comes to tiny hin.
