ChampionMasquerade.5283 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Is it just me or are some of the Charr in Grothmar Valley way to big? I choose near max height for my Charr and Head Chef Mellitus still towers over me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannelore.8153 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 The real answer is that Charr and Norn are both meant to be much larger than Humans, but the player character's model is restricted so that they fit through all the doors and passageways in the game, something most NPCs don't have to worry about. (And lore-wise, you're just a cub.. even if you chose the faces that look like you're about to retire.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen though Anet usually puts the slider on the low end for Norn NPCs. I honestly mistake female Norn NPCs for humans all the time. I don't know why they do that.

Fjaeldmark.9043 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Anet probably made him larger so he doesn't get lost in the crowd during his event. It's probably not representative of his actual size in lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is there any reference to your characters age at any point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taril.8619 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Spoiler: They're not actually Charr, they're 3 Dwarves stood on top of each other and wearing a large coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CETheLucid.3964 Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Important NPCs tend to be sized up, especially for recurring events. It's inconsistently applied probably like @"Fjaeldmark.9043" said, for visibility. It's a mechanics/gameplay thing. Not lore related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt H.6142 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 I saw some tall cats, arms crossed, waiting for the mob at Wolfs crossing. I was impressed by their confidence. I’m also happy for the Elite Level mobs without defiance bars so they live long enough for CC to matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Strong mobs get bigger in proportion to their strength, which is why you can get 30 foot humans, sylvari and Asura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
