A minor side note on ciri's height

[GribbleTheTrashMan]

Most of you guys are stating that ciri is 175.26 cm tall or 5'9...

But what doesn't add up is that the cm to feet height do not correlate


It is a serious business because we might be needing to recalculate if the tides take turns

Maybe I'll ask Sapkowski sometime what's her height when I'll be on some event lmao

Always double check when writers do math, people!

The discrepancy in using the Google unit converter (and others) is explained by the fact that the decimal point in the feet input does not indicate inches. So "5.75" Ôëá 5 feet and 7.5 inches; it means 5 feet + 75% of a feet. We'll all have a less confusing experience if we use a converter that explictly mentions feet and inches.

If we are going to go by game heights, Ciri is definetly shorter than 5'9 if we assume Geralt is 6 ft tall (and Geralt is as tall as most male characters). In Tower of Swallow, both Bonhart and Esterhazy agree that Ciri is 5'9, and Ciri was 14-16 years old by then, so she probably got even taller by her Witcher 3 age.

Taking that into account, along with how Sapkowski is jealous of the game's success and considers the game franchise a leech on his book's success... We simply have to take game Ciri's height if we are doing game Ciri feats.

I once met Sapkowski, he's not that terrible as people think he is.

Just convert the cm to inches instead. 12 inches is a feet.

Feet and inches as an option doesn't really exist on Google.

Game artbook states Dijkstra to be almost 7 feet tall. Though I think 1.93 m is an acceptable number at worst.

Either way, it won't get much of a major change in the calc numbers, especially for speed (Since that doesn't even need the usage for height).
