Solarverse Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I mean, he is huge! Even if I make the max height character, I am pretty sure he would still tower over me. Is there any lore for this or do you think it was done by mistake? I can't imagine a reason that it was done on purpose without some reason. Maybe a lore guru can come in and explain it a bit. 1 SFX and Music Mods by Solarverse (Consolidated) WP/EM God Mode Tank Guide and Build Help Support the Return of Missing Code for Sound Files!

Could it be, due to the name, be a grand in-joke to the Phantasm movies, where the villain is named The Tall Man? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GastlyGibus Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I can only assume that, for tactical reasons, since the phantasm is an illusion meant to help you fight enemies, you'd purposefully make it really big and imposing, both to instill fear in foes and to draw their attention away from you and to the much bigger, scarier ghost man attacking them. 😛 Global Handle: @Gibs A guy with unpopular opinions.

Greycat Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Nah. You *really* want to scare them, you make it a cute little girl in a frilly dress. Then make her look up, eyes shadowed, and just slowly *smile.* Perhaps throw in a comment about "Ooh, someone new to play with." 2 Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado.

skoryy Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Nothing's more intimidating than a nine foot tall Freddie Mercury ready to belt into song. ...

Mine was eaten by something. I APPROVE SO HARD. PROMOTE THIS MAN. 2 1 "Science. Science, my friend, requires radical gambles and adventures in malpractice sometimes. Take solace in the fact that I tested the majority of these things on the dead, the re-dead, and the nearly departed before I went to live trials. Honestly, most of my "specimens" were several iterations past being considered a human being with their original fingerprints, teeth, or IDs. So it was rather a lot like experimenting on moaning clay putty." Got time to spare? Want to see Homecoming thrive? Consider volunteering as a Game Master! For science and community!
