Height and weight? | Forums

[Calvarok]

Atair and Ezio were meant to be tough, but not super-strong. They overpowered people, yes, but not through superior strength. It was their technique, the way they redirected attacks and used momentum and tools, and the speed at which they moved.

Desmond is a 6 footer, that much is certain. Remember his first visit at the Auditore villa? He ''faced'' the ghost of ezio, who stood at the same height as Desmond did. And later on, while passing through the catacombs, there was at some point a mechanism which you activate with your hidden blade, if you go there fast enough you can do that simultaneously with Ezio's ghost, and it's clearly seen that they stand at the exact same height. I assume Connor to be a six footer as well, he is, as previously stated, tall, but not towering over other characters. But I'm certain about Desmond, Altair and Ezio - they all stand at 6 feet height. Human average height didn't change much during since the middle ages until today, even if there is any difference, it's slight. Also, in the ''Give me liberty or give me death'' trailer, as well as the E3 cinematic trailer, connor doesn't look so bulky, if he had the weight mentioned above in the posts, he'd simply break branches as he navigates through the tree canopy xD

He didn't look bulky because in those trailers they used the earlier model of him, the leaner and skinnier one.
As for Desmond being 6'0, that's true. He seems a legit six footer. Altair, in the game manual of AC1 says he is 6'0 though it seems a little bit unusual. Ezio doesn't look 6'0 personally. On the Soul Calibur wiki Ezio is listed as a 5'9" and 6'0 with hood and robes. Also, in one of those IGN making videos, one of them said they made Connor bigger and bulkier apart from Altair and Ezio who were small guys in lots of armor. If they were both 6'0, I'd say they were pretty big for their time periods.
But, let's look at it from the devs point of view. I doubt when creating the characters height is the last thing on their mind. They can say Desmond is 6'0 and Connor 6'2 but still make them look the same, since it would be kinda wierd for Connor to tower over his enemies and everyone else. It's just, wierd, in my opinion.

If you think properly then Altair would be around 4,7 - 5,5. Remember people were a lot small back then and average knight was around 5,4. As for Ezio i asked this question to one of the Dev's at Euro Gamer and he replied saying that it was a very wired question, but he likes wired and said around 5,7 -5,8.
As for Connor i guess you have to use your imagination. Average person was 5,6 in America at the 1700 and Connor was tall put not massive so i would say 5,8 -5,9.

And yes i did seriously ask that question to one of the Dev's.
I am a small person at age 15 and i was bulled a lot for my height so it was always on my mind.

Who Cares? Why is this even a thread? How is this in any way even remotely relevant to anything?

[Hans684]

There is no weight in this thread and my expectations isn't hight. While this thread exist, anyone interested in a midget Assassin? It might have lower quality but it's worth a shot.

[Capybarbar]

I don't think Connor is as big as most people think. Compare his Assassin suit to his Kanienkehaka or prison outfit and hes a bit smaller. I'd imagine he wears armor under his Assassin outfit considering all of the bullets and what not

[LieutenantRex]

As I've already said, all the assassins were pretty short, save Altair, who was the same height as Desmond.

[Xstantin]

So how exactly is this a problem? They still get their job done

[poptartz20]

umm... this is an old topic. lol.

Either way I imagine Connor being 5'9 or taller honestly. Desmond falling somewhere in the same category, and Ezio falling in the 5'7-5'8 and Altair falling 5'6-5'7.
