Granted I'm only like 4 feet tall myself, but I've noticed that with most buildings, you could easily fit 2-3 floors in the space they use for one. This is especially ridiculous in homes inhabited by lalafells. 

I get that it makes camera positioning easier, but it feels like they went a little overboard...

I've noticed this, too, not just here but in a number of games. I think the most glaring example I've come across is in Neverwinter Nights:

MEMORIES!

[Image: hFalP38.jpg]

{ Wiki ~ Tumblr }

Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong

Where the weak are finally strong
Where the righteous right the wrongs
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong


-- Switchfoot "Where I Belong"

I believe this is done intentionally to leave room for the camera to zoom out. Granted it looks weird from a lower angle, but how often does one play like that?

Basically this, and wouldn't you rather they be too tall than too short?

Except that Ul'dah was basically built BY Lalas.

There should be a business where Lalas can hire Elezens to reach things for them, or lift them up *nods*

I actually wish we could zoom out even more in buildings than we currently can, but I guess they would have to make skyscraper-tall ceilings for that to happen. Sad

Biggest example I've seen in a game is in EQ2.

Holy. Fuck.
