All you need to know about how height & weight in Dragon’s Dogma 2 affects stats
When you first fire up Dragon’s Dogma 2, you have the opportunity to make your character and Main Pawn, where you can dictate their height and weight. However, as fun as it may be to make your character very small or ridiculously tall, it does have an impact on gameplay that needs to be considered.

If you have longer legs, you will be able to take longer strides too, meaning you'll walk a bit quicker. On the flip side, the smaller you are in height and weight the more quickly your stamina will regenerate. It's a balancing act that you'll need to get right for your playstyle and character build.

I’ve made my character average height, but quite slim so he has good stamina regeneration. On the contrary, my Pawn is huge - like a genuine giant. It means he can carry a lot of my equipment and, considering he’s a Warrior, it suits him well.
Other character variations that affect gameplay
