Too Short

[Andrin]

I just got Skyrim a month or so ago. I had a lvl31 then started over, and I've started over a few times since then. Now I have a lvl29 Redguard and I noticed something that bugs me. He is short. Lydia is taller than I am! Not to worry...she died. I got a new female minion and she is taller than me too!! Are they always gonna be taller than me? Are some races taller than others? If Redguards are just short people I'll remake with a new race.

here is you simple sution hit~ and then type in setscale 1.5 (your regular size is 1 if you ever wanna go back again )

Heh it was far more noticeable in Morrowind.

To answer your question, yes, some races are taller than others, both in game and in the lore. Lore-wise, High elves are the tallest, but they are rather slim. Nords follow behind them, and they are also beefier. I know wood elves are the shortest, lore wise (they should actually be shorter than they are in game). The rest of the races fall somewhere in between, and I think Redguards are one of the middle ground races in terms of height.

So yes, even female nords should be taller than you.

Thank you. I will try the Setscale trick. If that doesn't work for me I'll try to find a smaller side kick. It's hard to pretend you are a big bad bandit slayer when your lady friend can pick you up.

breton's are the shortest race in the game and high elve's are the tallest.

[Andrin]

HI! glad to see people talking. I just tried the ~setscale 1.5 and it didnt seem to change anything. The game seemed to know what I was trying to do though cause if I mistyped it would tell me. I even did setscale 5 and my toon didnt grow. What am I doing wrongs?

[Andrin]

Do I need to subscribe to a special add-on?

Actually, no. Bretons are the shortest human race in the game. Bosmer are the shortest out of all races. The playable Khajiit breeds are either between Bosmer and Breton (as the second-shortest) or are the third-shortest.

Technically speaking, however, the Khajiit can be both the shortest and the tallest as one breed of Khajiit is the size of a housecat (obviously shorter than all the other playable races) and another is twice the height of an Altmer with fifty times the weight (definitely larger than any of the playable races). But that's just talking lore.

In the actual game, Altmer are tallest, Bosmer are shortest.

I like being short, don't hit your head as much on some of the dodgy geometry.

[Andrin]

AH HA! Yes Sir! I had to click my character after ~
Size 1.5 was huge though, so I am a cozy 1.1.
Thank you very much, now I dont have to start over again :)

Sorry for responding to a dead thread, but in Skyrim, female Bretons are actually shorter. In the previous games, male Bosmer were the shortest, but now they're only slightly below average.
