Child size characters
« on: November 09, 2011, 05:15:29 pm »
I wonder if it would be possible ... some time in the future ... to make child size characters.  Some people play a child, or a short person.  This would make it much easier to recognize that fact.  Avatar features wouldn't need to be changes ... just shorten the height proportionately.

I believe it was known to be that child size characters will not be made. I remember it from a meet the devs meeting a while back. Nice idea though.

Additionally, right now there is a technical issue with scaled models. You will probably know how all NPCs of the same race pop bigger and smaller when you travel through a number of them: All of them get the size the last individual had which just got loaded by the engine (because it just entered the visibility range). So if you wanted to have children, they would need a separate model. But who should make them if we can't even complete the set of adult race models?
