Fayre Play - Chapter 5 of my lil domestic fic. Tav x Zevlor
The gang hit the fayre and clear house. Karlach with a squeaky hammer is imprinted on my brain. I’m shipping Rolan and Nocturne atm. Sorry not sorry about the stupid edits
Height comparison chart based on the in-game models
Dragonborn Durge is 6'8" or 204cm.
Halsin and Minsc are 6'7" or 200cm.
Karlach is 6'4" or 192cm.
Devil form Wyll is 6'1" or 185cm (the horns net him ~2 in / ~5cm!)
Human form Wyll, Astarion, and Gale are 5'11" or 180 cm.
Jaheira, Shadowheart, Minthara, and Lae'zel are 5'7" or 170cm.
The models are a little bigger in Blender than they would be in the real world. Devil Wyll was 6'7" going by his model in blender, which is just...Not Correct.
This could be because my extracts scaled slightly wrong when i imported them into blender, or the in-game scale is slightly larger than the real world, or they're just modeled a little taller than they're meant to be to make them look biggg. (my vote is that i fucked the scale. rip y'all's estimation of my intelligence.)
Whatever the reason, I knew that they were all scaled wrong in the same way. This means that instead of giving up a futile pursuit, I could do math to figure out something more reasonable.
We happen to know that Astarion is "approximately 5'11"."
I used that as a baseline. So, with our scale established, we get something like this:
Other notes:
Shadowheart/Jahiera/Minthara, Minsc/Halsin, and Gale/Astarion/Wyll share the same heights because they use the same body model.
I'm decently certain that githyanki share an armature with elves/half-elves/drow/humans, so even though the gith body model looks different, Lae'zel is the same height as the other gals to line up with their armature's bones.
I didn't include hair or head accessories (like Shadowheart's) in the total height (that's cheating).
I did include Durge's and Karlach's horns in their overall height, but Karlach's really don't add much (maybe a cm or 2).
Average height worldwide (on Earth) for men is 5'9"/ 175 cm, and for women is 5'4" / 161 cm, so they're all quite tall, but mostly still within a standard deviation of the average.
Except for Karlach, Halsin, and Minsc, who are in the 99.9th percentile for height! They're not tall, they're huge.
My friend and I were amazed at how beautiful the location was. We spent 40 minutes choosing places for screenshots and, to be honest, we didn’t manage to walk very far, because all the time we were like: “WOOOOOW. How beautiful it is here.”; “Well, it’s beautiful”; "So beautiful"; "Very beautiful"
what if the always amazing gale of waterdeep did one of those 80’s style televised dating profiles? <3
