Aside from when it's wildly out of whack with the game world, I don't think about the height of videogame characters much. At a modest 5'7, I generally assume that most videogame protagonists are taller than me. There have been a few occasions where a character's canonical height has surprised me, though. For example, a while back I read that Thief's antihero Garrett was a strapping six footer, but a recent search revealed that this is actually not the case, and in fact he might be even shorter than me.
I had a similar reaction watching Zullie the Witch's recent video discussing character height in FromSoftware's games, in which she reveals that every FromSoft protagonist up until Elden Ring Neightreign is roughly 1.7 metres, or 5 foot 7 inches, tall. I'd always figured they were strapping six footers, if only because it further accentuates how massive the game's bosses are.
