Didact seemed too small In-Game.
Did anyone else kind of catch this?
I loved Halo 4, but the only thing that bothered me in the game was the way Didact was presented. He seemed too small.
The Didact was said to be around 15 feet tall. Let's compare this to Master Chief, who is 7 feet and 2 inches in his armor. Didact is quite literally over [i] two times [/i] the size of Chief. But in-game, Chief is over half as tall as him as you can see in the cutscene at the end of the level 'Forerunner'. Didact was supposed to be absolutely towering, even compared to Master Chief. Another thing to note is even in the terminals, the other Prometheans under his command are around the same height.
Is there an explanation for this? I know when he was trying Flood immunity tests it distorted his face a bit, but I don't think it altered his height. Did 343 just overlook it? What do you guys think?

It also might spoil it; if the Prometheans are only like 7 feet while the Didact is 15, people would guess the twist rather early.[/quote]I know I'm nitpicking, but I'm pretty sure Prometheans, (Knights specifically) are about 12 feet tall. For comparisons to Master Chief in height, try assassinating one. It's kinda funny how he just crawls over them.[/quote] On waypoint, it says they are just one inch short of hitting 10 feet. Those things are huge. OT: Didact is smaller than I expected. I thought he would be much taller, but he is only about a foot taller than Chief. He is large, but much smaller than expected.
