WHY ARE HALF-ORCS SMALL????!!!

[Chomplet King]

Tieflings can be huge. Half elves can be huge. Humans can be huge. WHY CANT MY HALF ORC HAVE THE BIG BODY TYPE AVAILABLE????? DESIGN OVERSIGHT? ????????????

it parallels their choice to remove stat bonuses and other racial traits. all races are equal.
some are more equal than others.

The big body type is the ONLY body type for half-orcs, isn't it...?

Right? No MASSIVE ROTUND option if I wanted to be a fantasy Santa Clause or Evil leprechaun.

Nope. They appear to have beefier arm muscles than the other races at the baseline size, and have the most defined musculature overall, but their actual models are same size as baseline human.

You can use this: https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1904
it says "height" but in fact it achieves that through a simple scaling up of the model. So you can have your huge 2.5 meters tall half-orc.

In their defence, removing hard racial was a great call. If you really want, you can just select the RAW attributes to upgrade. More choices are always good, so long as its not at the expense of other choices and customization options.

Had a friend not gotten this game for me, I would be just fine sitting back and waiting until character sliders were re-implemented.

Fits them just as well as the posh Oxford professor English every player character speaks.

I still dont know why they dont make relative size change a thing in all games.
There are reasons to not allow it in "big proportions", like allowing you to resize "50%". It has to do with clipping, animations and meshes. But small changes, there is no reason to not allow it, unless you design armor to be "tight fit" for sizes.
And people do like those.
I have a mod for another game to allow for resizing in a game that doesnt, it is like get to the public lobby in Hamada International at mid day and say you have free cold refreshments. Even people who are not thirst will show up.

I feel personally attacked by the choice to not give half-orcs a strong character model.

[Lord_Reavous]

I realize people dislike the feeling that they are gimping their character if they don't completely optimize by race. But it does diminish the point of the lore. You don't have to play the most optimized character. A strong Gnome can complete the same adventures as a Half Orc with the old racials. It's just people that cannot fathom playing something competent at the task and being content.

Hell I've heard hilarious campaigns to do with a dumb as bricks Barb who got his party into all kinds of trouble (human pc) and it was more interesting than hearing about the 20/68 STR Half-Orc with no real negative traits.

EDT: My favorite character was Cobbletopple, Rock Gnome Ranger with 6 STR and 18 DEX. Weak but due to his size bonus' and favored enemy he was more than up to the task.

Because they are only “Half” Orc

[teksuo]

probably because half-orc were slapped in last minute is my guess.
there's no pure orc so half-orcs shouldnt even be possible... then you got their massive jaw clipping through every damn helm. it feels like they just added it late with some duct-tape.

Yeah, this. I just saw the developer video where they talked about all the races, and the **ONLY** reason we have buff bodies period for our customs is because they implemented half-orcs as a race and decided to roll them out for the rest after. 😂

[Baby Stalin]

Because a half orc is 50% of an orc.

Half Orc already has the buff body type, that's the only body type available for Half Orc lol
