Great mod! I figured out how to add custom/modded races to the list, but is there a way to reduce the spam in the script extender console?
it just feels redundant and makes it harder/more annoying to use the console

[lexo1000]

Yeah I still need to optimize the script.

[Lancaster]

Do this'll work with pretty much all custom hair & beards?

[CheesusCrust]

Scary

that looks so ******* ********, why would anyone make an elf smaller and shorter than a human and even a fantasy midget

Appears to be more faithful to FR lore. I just hope the granny panties are optional.

[Demonic Fate]

I imagine that the vanilla scaling is optimized to look better on camera and/or during cutscenes without requiring dynamic camera angles based on the PC's race.

If you play a forest gnome Tav with this mod, will he always be visible in dialogue? I expect that you'd often just see the top of his head. Not necessarily bad, it would be quite funny tbh.

And who cares about your stupid comments? Feel free not install it and let people who care about lore do their own opinion.

Hi,
new scales do not apply to cinematics, gameplay only.

if you don't care so much why you wasted time to type a response, genius

Thanks. Not clear on what you mean by "cinematics" - pre-rendered scenes like the intro movie are not what I meant, obviously.

For example, in the scripted scene when Lae'zel first intercepts you in the Nautiloid, is her scale retouched according to the mod? Is Tav's?

Yes I talk about scripted scenes.

Elves being extra tall superhumans is tolkien, most early D&D stuff is only influenced by tolkien insofar it could help sell product, this continues into anything grandfathered into modern day D&D

[Lancaster]

Cool mod! Just out of curiosity, are female Drow taller than the males, and will toggling between a standard frame & large frame make a difference?

Scales apply to models so strong bodies are still taller than normals.

I wonder how difficult it would be to implement a Mod Configuration Menu for this mod so things could be adjustable

Probably easier to just make patches that change the size values

[lexo1000]

Hum good idea. I'll investigate.

[VerMods]

That would be awesome, probably too much work, but would be cool to have a sliding scale between lore accurate and vanilla.

Edit: This also probably pairs really well with the Smaller Torches mod from nexus.

Is this a limitation or is it deliberate?

[lexo1000]

Limitation

[Lancaster]

@lexo1000 could you use a similar concept to give Karlach a smaller frame?

[Karmic Acumen]

Is there a chance this overrides any base game enlarge effects? Because I'm using giant rage and my character reverts back to normal size after the growing animation. I don't think any other mods in my load order do this.

[lexo1000]

Please use the last version on Nexus. I didn't update the RPGHQ page yet.
