I understand the important NPCs need to be a little bigger so you can click on them in groups and stuff. But it’s starting to get a little crazy now. Jaina is like a 16 ft human which is absurd already, and now these Shadowlands NPCs are like 50 ft. Isn’t this excessive?

The explanation I have heard is that they wanted everyone to see all the character details on important NPCs but were unable to do that in vanilla wow without increasing model size due to resolution. They have just left it in place since then.
But I have no idea how accurate that is.
They aren’t in cut-scenes. They are in-game just so they stand out more I think.
NPCs are super tall so you can still find them when there’s a small army of players standing on top of them.

To gnomes, everything else is big. Well except for goblins and vulpera. But goblins are stupid and vulpera are food. So…yea.

To make them clickable when people gather around them on mounts.
As a reborn flesh eater I take exception to this sentiment sir
SWTOR has NPCs and bosses the same size as the characters and it is a pain in the posterior to click them for questing or knowing where they are in the fight
