Dragon's Dogma 2 (DD2)

Best Height and Weight: Does Character Size Matter?

Add to Watchlist

Dragon

Character Size matters in Dragon's Dogma 2. Read on to learn if character size matters, what the best height and weight is for your character, and how the character size is applied in the first game!

Best Height

Small Height for Faster Stamina Regenaration

Dragon

Small height is the best height in Dragon's Dogma 2, as having a shorter character regenerates stamina a lot faster compared to taller characters. This is perfect for Thief and Archer starting Vocations where speed and agility matters a lot for their playstyle.

The only downside to being small is that you won't be able to carry a lot of items on you as your max encumbrance will be reduced the shorter your character is.

Best Weight

Heavy Weight for Larger Carrying Capacity

Dragon

Heavy is the best weight for your character, since it increases your max encumbrance, meaning you will be able to carry more items in your inventory the more heavier you are. This weight is ideal for those who enjoy looting and wouldn't want to worry about having to clear up inventory space often.

Does Your Character Size Matter?

Character Size Matters

Dragon

Your character's size in Dragon's Dogma 2 matters much like in the first game, as the Character Creator gives you the option to adjust your height to your liking.

Larger characters have an increased carrying capacity and can hold more items in their inventory, while shorter characters have a quick stamina regeneration and can run faster.

Character Size Affects Stats and Gameplay Mechanics

Character Height

Features Tall Short
Faster Stamina Regen ✔️
Faster Running Speed ✔️

Certain gameplay features are affected by your character's height like running speed and how quick your stamina regenarates. However, you have the option to change your height later on once you have the Art of Metamorphosis book.

Character Weight

Features Heavy Light
Increased Inventory Weight Capacity ✔️

Weight primarily affects your maximum carrying capacity. A heavier character means you'll be able to carry more items, while a smaller character can only hold a few items in their inventory.
