Check out the DEATH STRANDING community on Discord - hang out with 8 other members and enjoy free voice and text chat.

For anyone interested, I started up an 18+ Death Stranding roleplay server.  I couldn’t find any to join, so I made one myself.  We have some members already but it’s still a work in progress.  It isn’t just for roleplaying, so you can chat about the game and just hang out too!  It’s a US server, but everyone is welcome as long as you’re over the age of 18 and can read/write in English! c:

This invite is set to never expire, so it *should* work, but if not, let me know!

DBH Character Heights

Some folks in the Simarkus server were discussing characters' heights, and I decided it was high time I finally figure out how to use the extraction tools and determine if there are any insights to be found as to the android characters' heights.

Unfortunately, it would seem the base height of the models does not accurately reflect how they appear in-game. We can see this in the discrepancies between the measurements in Blender and the measurements found in the in-game gallery for the human characters as well as in the visual differences of certain characters (e.g., Leo is definitely not only one inch shorter than Markus). Disappointing, but I figured it's still worth sharing what I found. I included the comparisons for some human characters at the bottom, for those curious.

While I hid the hair submeshes for all of these models to get the most accurate measurements, note that several characters have atypically shaped heads, likely to make their hair appear thicker while saving on resources (e.g., Connor and Hank).

Let me know if there's anyone not listed you'd like me to check! It's a super simple process to extract the model and measure it in Blender.

Connor: 185.4 cm / 6'1" Yes, I double-checked RK900. They're identical.

Markus: 182.5 cm / 5'11.8"

Kara: 166.2 m / 5'5.4"

North: 167.8 cm / 5'6.1"

Simon: 179.4 cm / 5'10.6" Daniel is identical.

Josh: 189.4 cm / 6'2.6"

Alice: 123.2 cm / 4'0.5"

Luther: 202.4 cm / 6'7.7"

Chloe: 168.1 cm / 5'6.2"

Echo: 168.4 cm / 5'6.3" Ripple is identical. Their Eden Club versions share a model.

Emma: 122.1 cm / 4'0.1" Emma is a teensy bit shorter than Alice. I've wondered about this for so long.

Jerry: 179 cm / 5'10.5"

Lucy: 166 cm / 5'5.4"

Ralph: 178 cm / 5'10.1"

Rupert: 179.5 cm / 5'10.7"

Amanda: 169.3 cm / 5'6.7" Per the gallery: 5.5' (167.64 cm / 5' 6")

Captain Allen: 182.5 cm / 5'11.9" Per the gallery: 5.9' (179.8 cm / 5'10.8").

Gavin: 177.8 cm / 5'10" Per the gallery: 5.9' (179.8 cm / 5'10.8").

Hank: 191.9 cm / 6'3.6" Per the gallery: 6.2' (189 cm / 6'2.4").

Kamski: 178.4 cm / 5'10.2" Per the gallery: 6.0' (182.9 cm / 6'0")

Leo: 179 cm / 5'10.5" Per the gallery: 5.7' (173.7 cm / 5'8.4").

Rose: 163.7 cm / 5'4.5" Per the gallery: 5.5' (167.64 cm / 5' 6")

Todd: 177.7 cm / 5'10" Per the gallery: 6.0' (182.9 cm / 6'0")

Update: The gallery is not to be trusted.

I reached out to Dragonbane0, who is a programmer and knows how to Actually Do Things (instead of the duct tape and hot glue you get from me), about the question of whether or not there is any scaling of character models going on that might account for the inconsistencies noted above.

After what I can only assume was some fancy coding, he measured a handful of characters from the base of the model to eye level and then identified that the average distance from eye level to the top of the head for all the models is 9 cm. I re-measured those same characters from base to about eye level and threw all the numbers into a spreadsheet because I care about this a very normal amount.

The eye-level Blender and in-game measurements are all almost identical, leading us to believe there's no scaling going on. However, some of the top of the head numbers for the humans are substantially different from the number given in the gallery. The most glaring being Fowler and Todd, which are shorter in Blender, so the atypical head shapes I described above cannot account for the difference.

Well, DB0 noticed that the gallery says Fowler is taller than Allen, and upon checking them in-game using his modding tool, determined that is simply a lie.

I pulled them both up in Blender and got the exact same result.

I also did a little character swap out of curiosity, and got what appears to be the same result.

(Yes, sometimes swapping can get funky with heights but that's typically only outside of cutscenes. Also, Allen and Markus are almost the exact same height. He lines up shockingly well with the props.)

So, the moral of the story? The gallery numbers for the human characters' heights cannot be trusted. They look to be largely accurate for several characters, but the outliers throw them all into question.

it's like that thing when you meet somebody and you just click. you know what i mean?

Still upset and miffed that there wasn’t more uproar if Simon gets left behind/shot at Stratford Tower from the original androids of Jericho.

He’s was their leader for YEARS— Josh was the only one to be genuinely upset about leaving him/killing him. There should’ve at least been some more back and forth with some of Jericho’s residents. Androids who were now weary on following Markus cause ‘look what happened to Simon, he trusted Markus. What if we’re next?’

I just think the people of Jericho should’ve had more interaction with Markus instead of being people to talk at.

Josh only followed Markus and North on that first raid after Simon agreed to. His opinions matters to the others and I just think the story would’ve been interesting if you were trying to sway the people to trust you again.
