in which case, I fully understand it. if you're roleplaying as bigger than you actually are, I may find it slightly difficult to go along with, a I have a literal visual representation of you're height XD

It's a bit of a slippery slope since a lot of role-players who go down that route don't usually limit their character to being a couple of inches above the average height and instead embrace all sorts of strange and outright jarring proportions.

I find it very hard to take seriously when it's done to the extreme as it simply screams 'mary sue' and doesn't really add much beyond placing someone's special little snowflake on a pedestal that only serves to encourage a rather questionable arm's race.

I'm normally pretty staunch but this is something that doesn't bother me that much. I know people that are 6'4+ in real life and while I think "Damn, that guy is tall" it doesn't really strike me as out of the ordinary. Granted, it's not common but I also don't see edits like that on a lot of character's either. o_o

I kinda wish there was more character generation options anyway for body type so you could be leaner, stronger, weaker, fatter more manly/womanly figure etc.
