Dustin & Robin Height

in Feedback and Suggestions

Posting this here hoping it gets more attention. When the 2nd Stranger Things chapter came out I made a bug report that Dustin and Robin's height appeared differently in the match vs in the lobby. In the lobby they appear as their screen-accurate heights but in the match they are re-scaled to fit the standard male and female survivor heights. I got a reply from BHVR that this was not a bug but intentional. They said my feedback would be forwarded to the team but it's been two months and it's not been changed. I see no reason why this should be, in season 5 of the show Dustin is about the same height as Nancy and Robin is about the same height as Steve. It shouldn't be too hard to fix this in DbD, I mean they got their heights right in the lobby so why not just scale Dustin down to be the height of the female survivors and scale Robin up to be the height of the male survivors? Below is the response I got to my initial bug report.

    That is not working as intended, if the intention is being misleading with what you are selling, sure. that's telling us they don't want to make new animation sets for different types of survivors.

    Which needs to change honestly.

    Atleast you got a response lol i tried posting a few discussions on it and they never said a thing. Still waiting for this to be fixed along with Richter's face, and Rick & Daryl's screams/grunts. Dustin looks quite bulky with that height in match, even comparable to trevor

    Thats the thing, I don't think they would need to make any new animations for him. They made every survivor tiny for my little oni without needing to make new animations. So they should be able to just scale him down the size of most female survivors, set him to use the male survivor animations for walking/running etc, at for any interactions that might not line up with his height reduced they could use the female survivor animations for those. It would probably take one person at BHVR no more than 20 minutes to fix his height.

    Fair enough but also I dont see with the lower quality of their animations for survivor why they can't actually put effort into some new animation sets for them.

    Also there has been so many bugs recently with survivor animations, Claire Redfields finger becomes like a claw when she points rn and also her hand is crooked in the lobby
