Guild Wars 2

Heya.

I’ve seen this asked around a few times but never really got a clear answer and the wiki doesn’t help much.

I know that race definitely affects the size of something’s weapon.

What I’m curious about is if the height slider affects it also? Like, will the smallest human have a smaller greatsword than the tallest human? Or will they have the same sized greatsword?

I’m curious about this ‘cause I wanted my character to carry around a ridiculously large greatsword. So, I made a Norn and I maxed out his height. The greatswords I’ve come across so far, though, have seemed pretty small in comparison to him, while other, smaller Norn characters seem to have much bigger greatswords.

So, I’m wondering if to get the effect I wanted if I should’ve made a really small Norn, so that he’d be carrying a normal sized Norn greatsword which would appear much larger on him in scale?

I am quite sure that it does, from what I have seen.

Yeah, I was thinking that it might, but I’ve never legitimately tested it. I mean, sometimes weapons look so small in some character’s hands, but so large in others. I wasn’t sure if that was just the weapon model causing the difference, height, or both.

A lot of the greatswords I’ve found aren’t super huge but I have seem players with massive greatswords. I think one of them may be a skin from the HoM rewards. I didn’t get enough points for it so I’m not sure exactly how it looks.
