What size did you make your character and why?

[Panda.1967]

While working on map completion on my Asuran Mesmer today I found myself face to face with just how tiny I am... take a look

Variety of size for a variety of reasons.

 

Some are race dependent reasons, others are more traditional RPG reasons, while others are for comedic effect.

[penelopehannibal.8947]

For me it's variety. I've got characters across the board, from tallest Norn to Smallest Asura, vice versa and so on. When I create a new character, I think to myself "I haven't done this yet" when I pick the size, as well as the race/profession/gender combination.

Some asurans are tiny i know mine is. i was running through my mini pets earlier standing in rata sum was a player asura just afk next to my minis spawn location i was amazed how some minis was bigger than her char well coulda been a he with female either way you get my point lol. Theres a mini in that mini preview list you need to find near bottom in list via wardrobe a skeleton this mini (called spooky skeleton I think) is big probably tallest one in the game it is easily 40% as tall as my sylvarie he rides in around at about 70% on the height slider. I'm not sure if even in game yet or maybe planned to be or if anyone actually has it, as I've never actually seen it out n about. But you might find the comparison as interesting as I did lol.

Almost max size Charr. Boy, so hard doing precision jumping..

[Joxer.6024]

maxed size asura cuz master race and yea, size does matter! ;)

[Nikal.4921]

I make all my characters max height anymore. Two reasons: I am tall and I like being tall; and to better see the details on my armor/weapons. My first character was a medium height female Sylvari Ranger, but I was inspired by Brienne on GoT to try a max height Norn female, and I felt more comfortable with the tallness. I made a minimum height female Asura because I thought it would be cute, but I was kinda dismayed that she looked like a little blob. If I'm going spend time/money making my characters look the way I want them to, I want the results to visible. So, max height everything since.

 

Even max height Asuras, you lose all detail on their weapons especially because for some reason, they are scaled too small.

[Warlyx.6732]

max size norn usually , but i have 2 humans (1 M - 1 F ) and 1 sylvary all max size too , i dont like tiny characters anymore lack of details in armor and weapon , and this is Glamour Wars 2 afterall :P

[DietPepsi.4371]

I play all smallest Charr, partly because I think they look best that size, partly because it makes jumping puzzles easier, and partly because it means they clip into things less. e.g. Doorways.

[Fipmip.7219]

I'm tall IRL, which is a shame bc I'm into older/taller women. All my characters are medium size human males.

[Taygus.4571]

All my characters are at the minimum height.

 

Always have been. I just like small things.

[Paralux.6714]

I tend to mix a lot, but usually end up doing either the shortest possible or tallest possible characters.

[Griever.8150]

Depends on the idea i have the character, atm the only 2 ones i have are my Charr Thief and Charr Engi.

 

Made the Thief Tall-ish (3/4th of the slider or so) and slender to fit his more mary-sue hero type (he's always going to be the real "Pact Commander" within my characters).

 

While my Engi is short and bulky, cause i just imagine him as a more gruff but fun-loving character who drink and eat a lot (he's my cooking character too).

 

I wayyyyy overthink my characters lol.

[TwiceDead.1963]

Pretty small, most of the time. Primarily because I like the illusion of speed you get when you play small characters, makes the game feel a lot more fast-paced than it actually is. I tried playing big characters, I even tried playing a large Norn with the Endless Embiggening tonic... Good god I was about to fall asleep, they are so slow and so sluggish just... Ugh.

[hellsqueen.3045]

All my characters are short and ginger because I am short and ginger.

Basically, mine are the smallest of their respective races because they are all reflections of tiny ol' me.

B-But... small things are always cute :'(

[ancientoak.4258]

I just made a new Elona themed Norn, mid sized. I always use mid sized wide Norns and Charrs, otherwise they are too large/bulky and take up half of the screen. Can't stand when the LA bank is overcrowded with max sized-wide overbulky Charr and Norn, they block the view too much :/

[Liewec.2896]

my female hummies are all the smallest size, because i dunno it seems like the normal size to me XD

my norns are always max size, because why play norn if you aren't going to be huuuge? XD

i have a smallest size feme char because i think they look cute like that, and a max size male char because they look like brutes! :sweat_smile:

[AzureWolf.9150]

I tend to make most of my characters on the smaller size, makes it easier for me to navigate jumping puzzles that way. The only exception I made was with my human ranger, because he partners up with my fiancee's Norn Necro. She made her Norn the smallest a Norn could be, so I made my Human the tallest he could be, so he's just about even in height with her :)

[Rouven.7409]

I believe it was the old Norn forum that said it the best: "Norn, go big or go home."

 

 

[jheryn.8390]

All my Asura are as small as they can be.

I have 1 max sized Norn and the rest are medium to small.

I have one max size char and one smallest sized char.

Humans and Sylvari toons are all different sizes.

[IndigoSundown.5419]

I started making characters a variety of heights for the sake of, well, variety. Then I did a few jumping puzzles. This prompted me to make the remaining characters as small as possible (except no Asura, as I find the typical Asura behavior to be obnoxious, and have since they were introduced in GW).

[czerwoni.9563]

if its human or sylveri i go average height unless its a female human than i go short, my norn are all maxed and my char is tiny lol, i also have a maxed asura

[Dark Schneider.7841]

Max size norn female - because snu snu

[Ubi.4136]

I have 9 Asura, all the same height (around 30% on the slider). It makes JP's so much easier.
