How tall are the Iksar going to be?

[Sonark]

Unless I'm insane (or I was just 12), I distinctly remember Iksar being as tall as Barbarians when Kunark first came out, and the NPC guards and traders around Cabilis even reflected this for years over the new models, but they silently changed it like they did a lot of things, and it seems like p99 has followed in those footsteps due to using Titanium.

Or.

I was 12.

Discuss.

I would like to officially request an opportunity to smoke some of your weed. It seems pretty potent.

Seriously though, I don't believe Iksar were ever classified as a "large race" in-game. That was reserved exclusively for Barbarians/Ogres/Trolls (and maybe Vah Shir?)

[AbstractVision]

Think you are remembering vah shir.

Didn't say they were?

They do have a weird pseudo large classification, where a lot (but not all!) of TRL OGR BAR weapons and gear also include Iksar.

Like those giant boulders from Nagafen's Lair.

That was reserved exclusively for Barbarians/Ogres/Trolls (and maybe Vah Shir?)

Vah Shir are the same height as Barbarians, yeah, but my memory tells me Iksar were once upon a time as well.

Not a "Large" race, being restricted to Medium sized armour always (though again, the odd piece of gear that only had or have TRL OGR BAR will have IKS on there, too) but just their model being the same height as Barbarianses.

I'm no classic expert (I didn't even start on live for real until Velious) ... but AFAIK those two things (being a "large" race for equipment purposes, and having a model that's the same height as a Barbarian) have always gone hand in hand.

But why add Iksar into the usable races?

I used to remember a lot more, but I'm on very little sleep and the brain is fuzzy. They do exist, though.

They're still the tallest race AFTER Barbarians, but I have a distinct memory of running my Iksar to the Greater Faydark and comparing his height to a Barbarian and it was the same.

or

I was just 12.

Were you standing on orc hill? ...you were just 12 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] lol jk.

Honestly when I was 10 in 99, everything about the game seemed so much larger. But I wonder if it's possible you are maybe remembering some of the Iksar statues around? And confusing it with the NPCs/PCs?

Not sure [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
