Id imagine that the Arbiter is only about 4 or 5 meters tall. Mueh'zala maybe 10 meters?
Didn't think the Arbiter would be so ginormous.
Then again, scale is never precise in WoW. Per the Wowhead article, Dadgar stands 2.34 meters tall, only very slightly shorter than friggin Saurfang. Surely that makes no sense.
He is probably doing the helya thing again.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
Most important NPCs are scaled bigger for visibility reasons. The article itself states that the NPCs models are about 1.2 times larger than normal models of their races. The player character human male model that is used on that above Arbiter/Aggramar/Jailer/Mueh'zala comparison is 1.83 meters/6 feet tall which is perfectly reasonable height for a human.

Out of this whole bunch, I'd say only Tyrande, Thalryssa, Wrathion and smaller Bolvar are their proper sizes. Baine is smaller than he should be, since that measurement includes hid totems, and the rest are bigger than they should be.
Between the Arbiter "not working" and the Voice of the Arbiter being the most present in 9.0, I think there might be a Wizard of Oz style twist going on where she's artificial.
Yes. Blizzard practiced 0 consistency in color palette with the Darkshore armors.
Even the Teldrassil Hippogryph's armor followed Kasparian's color scheme of more blueish purple (rather than pinkish) and a more orangeish desaturated gold (rather than the bright urine gold.
That is why the aspirant tint of the Darkshore armor is the best and why it sucks that it isn't obtainable in its elite/rank 2 form.
What would the Forsaken get as a heritage armor? The Warfront armor already captured their "evil" aesthetic, but now that they seem to be moving away from that theme (especially if Calia ends up in a leading position), maybe a tattered Lordaeron noble/knight aesthetic, diversified from the Stormwind human aesthetic?
They're going to have to pick a new banner other than Sylvanas' broken mask at some point, and switch out all the Dark Lady emotes.
I'm hoping something gets done with them during Shadowlands anyway, it would feel very weird to have something monumental happen to them like Sylvanas' betrayal, the whole Voss storyline and Calia storyline and then just leave that hanging for 2+ years.
I'm not sure why people still refer to calia leading the forsaken, even as a reasonable possibility. I think it has become quite obvious that she won't do that. The defacto forsaken leader is lilian voss (calia mirrors her perfectly in that regard) right now and the only thing calia did was take care of the undead nelfs that sylvanas left behind, but she fucked off with them, so they even made a point out of the fact that there won't be undead night elves on the horde side.
