@y3dl I like the concept although it is a bit late for rare to implement this as so many have already made so much progress on their character and may be irritated by this change if they would have preferred a different type.
but a cool concept nonetheless.

Become a Pirate Legend in Sea of Thieves: Character creation, personal hideouts, 'raid' content, and more

Rare answered some of our most burning questions about the company's upcoming pirate adventure, Sea of Thieves, recently at its studio in the UK.

It's important to note too that hitboxes will be normalized, so picking a smaller pirate won't help you.

@paul-endri gotchya. I stand corrected. Still wouldnt be a bad mechanic to add. And it is still harder to hide as a fatter pirate.

@y3dl All in your head bro.

I thought the same at first too!

@y3dl 100% Placebo effect. Test it.

@paul-endri are you sure? I find it easier to see and hit a bigger pirate than i do the smaller ones.

@y3dl Hitboxes are normalized. All pirates have the same hitbox.
