#Bod Height Mapping

Off screen I did some analysis on Bod's heights, because I wanted to try and figure out what the %s actually mean in 'real scale' and I basically came out with this image.

Now, to explain my thought process:

  • I took screenshots of Zelat at all heights (from 110% to 90%)
  • I drew a line starting from his hand towards the tip of his Heavy Falx, and then I overlayed each line to create a Curve.

My assumption was that the Heavy Falx is your usual Greatsword, and your average Greatsword is 6ft in height.

  • I then plotted my lines and created a Curve, discovering that from 106% towards 110% is where the Curve reaches its highest Peak, which means that 106% has a slightly larger value than 104% compared to the difference between 104% and 102%

  • I then took a Riverman (which is basically your average Braryrian citizen turned soldier) and kept randomizing them and checked the % heights, and I found that the average is between 96% and 102% and I took the closest Average of that which is 98%

So I concluded that 98% is 5ft 7.
96% is 5ft 6
94% is 5ft 5
92% is 5ft 4
90% is 5ft.

Why is 90% 5ft while the other %s are only an inch of difference?

Well, the Curve shows that the difference between 90% and 92% is actually higher than 92% and 96%.

And if you look again at the Curve, the difference between 90% and 92% is near symmetrical to the difference between 110% 108% and 106% compared to 104% and 102% and 100%

Which MEAAANS:

104% could mean 6ft.
106% be 6ft 2
108% be 6ft 3
And 110% be 6ft 4

AND if we look inside the game and compare Musqus (who is at 110% height) and compare him to other characters...we get these results.

Zelat Duras 104%
Tsarcaspu 102%
Zatez 100%

So theoretically, if the Height in game was ever increased to a maximum of (let's say 120%)

You would have characters reaching 7ft tall, or slightly taller than 7ft.

Edit:

From what I can estimate, this is how tall a character would be at 120% height. (Scroll down)

My friend after looking at this , heights can be tricky as each culture has a different diet (likely ) , hence heights will be different culture to culture

Such as for example the looters may be small and nimble

Heights are consistent in game.

When the marriage update comes in and height became the major factor of determining success chance

by body differences you mean genetics right?

#

such as bodies adapted to heat or cold etc?

#

and according to nutrition?

brisk thorn
#

This nutrition stuff is completely unnecessary.

#

units could use their height to exploit the situation

#

such as shorter units having daggers and much more speed than the standard

#

above 10

#

I know the driftclaws are a thing

#

but they're still your height and can be hit easily

#

Or units also having an arsenal according to their environments etc

Again, it is unnecessary. Heights already affect gameplay in Bod. We don't need ”If you are 4ft tall, you get a 5% speed boost” that's nonsense.

Height already affects stuff in game.

Taller units have longer weapons, which makes their Range extended and also makes their perfect blocks and parry windows bigger.

And shorter units are harder to hit, because they have a smaller hitbox, so some overhead attacks do not land.

the people of brariyan and its neighbours = middle , valthrians = taller , elukhis and azinivia = I don't know , rogue factions = random

I find it easy to hit the person even at the shortest height

I know many don't like complexity

#

but its a basic kind of complexity

brisk thorn
#

Complexity is not necessary, the combat is fine.

I know it sounds contradictory

Well man I guess at the end of the day you have your interests and I have mine

#

this was a nice debate

And for comparison (to quadruple check my analysis, I did a height comparison on a site)

#

My estimate is slightly taller.
