If any TripWire Developer reads this, let me know what you think!

I found the character customization one of the most immersive and my favorite aspect of this game and your other games, this is an absolutely fantastic game, and i just wanted to add if at all possible, the ability to customize pants and body type of the character. (Like COD:Infinite Warfare, Insurgency, and DOOM). Maybe baggier pants, Tiger camo pants, and just a wide variety of different pants and pant models. And a shorter stockier body type, a tall skinny body type, etc. With an addition like this to the customization it will be par with current AAA titles. Thanks for reading!

Whilst I like the idea of different sized soldiers running around I think it might cause some gameplay issues, like for example a difference in height of player viewed vision vs the actual height of the player as seen by other players, which could lead to instances of someone's head sticking over a wall as viewed from the outside whilst on said someone's screen it looks as if he's well behind cover.

In short I think it would be a nightmare for the devs to adjust for this, but if they can do it, well then hey I'm all for it.

As for the different pants etc, I believe something like that is already in? Anyway that should definitely be possible.

I can only think of a handful of FPS that had different sized characters in a competitive FPS. If body type was tied into say, how much you could carry, how fast you can run, how long you can run, etc., it might be fun. But that sure is not going to happen here.

Forget about height, rather include body types: Skinny, Average, Athletic, Muscular, Stocky (aka thick).

The hitbox-problem remains. Noone want's to play a thick soldier with larger hitboxes... and the developers don't want to adjust the hitboxes to thicker body types

I think the sacrifice is way larger than the benefit.

You got something against thick people?

Pft, just kidding.

The guys above have pretty much nailed it. If we allow changes to the body/pants size, it will affect their collision size and give an advantage/disadvantage to various players. We'll end up with everyone playing "Oddjob" (Goldeneye 64 reference there for anyone else old enough).

At least they rectified the problem in Perfect Dark by giving the midget character, Elvis, a gigantic head.
