My eyes are down here!

edited September 2023 in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Just for the sake of making a gremlin, I created a small character at 4'6" with short legs, short spine, short neck. I'm doing the tutorial, and I don't mind the consoles being as tall as I am, my character's an Alien, possessing telekinesis.

But when I ran into Tilly, she looked right over me, not even trying to look my character in the eyes.

"My eyes are down here, Tilly!"

    Well, I wish the UI was fixed so small characters can more reliably use consoles.

    Jumping up onto the counter to access the library datacard at Starfleet Academy, hopping on top of the bank console at the Klingon Academy, let alone having to jump up and down in front of mission dependant consoles in episodes is a pain for short characters.

    Just wait until you hit the Coliseum mission, and you have to pixel hunt with your half pint pylon just to try and figure out where the exact spot is to activate the consoles and bounce between multiple consoles to activate the puzzle. I have a couple of midgets that know that pain very keenly. Of course, we bring it upon ourselves when we made characters that are runts, and we deserve having to hop up onto a console to activate it.

    It would be funny to have a couple of little people who come across each other to have an option to make the "siege tower" of one short character climbing on top of the other in the Electric Chair position(sitting on the shoulders of the other), and letting the one on the bottom move/run around, while the top one can play with consoles.

    I'd soooooo love to see that. :D

    Usually I'm like "My eyes are up here, dude!" ;)

    Reminds me of the mission where Tuvok does the Vulcan Mind Melt on your character.
    Most of the times the hand is placed on the face of your character no matter the size of your character. Other times its waaaay off...
    Was playing it on a few diffrent types of characters, and for some reason, Tuvok likes to stroke my giant Gorn's chest. o_o

    Vulcan Mind Melt

    I thought it was Vulcan Mind Meld ;)
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Not when you start stroking the Gorn's chest... :wink:

    And then to get into the bar on whatever station they're on, they have to wear a trench coat... :smile:

    All Characters and Boffs I customize are max height for their Species Type. Max Torso and Max Leg. No problems doing anything with them.

    Yeah it looks like Tuvok's grabbing feel on my main toon as well and she's not really that tall "only" 192 cm, or at least that's how it looked last time I played the mission on my main.

    Tell the truth. You were the one staring at her kneecaps. No wonder she could not bring herself to look you in the eye.
