Weird Tall Character Issues

I always play a wood elf. I decided to try a High Elf for the magic perks as I am trying out being a sorcerer. I made her as tall as I could with all other settings as I usually do, average build, no gut, etc. This character is quite glitchy. I know she runs slower being taller so that is not the issue. When she turns to lock in on other NPC's each movement is followed by a one second delay. You know when someone walks by they move their heads.

Then moving around out in the wild, moving her to the left or right I get the same delays. Maybe these have always been there and you don't notice them on shorter, faster characters? I submitted an in game ticket but I haven't heard anything. I am ready to trash her and make one that is shorter in hopes the glitches are not there. I really wanted a tall character but something is wack.

I have other characters in the same area she is in and have tested those as well as my character Coldharbour. None of them have these issues but hey are all hobbit wood elves. :) This one is like a walking, moving robot with pauses between each movement.

    Well CS wasn't sure what the issue was. I made a new High Elf but made them shorter and the character works fine. Something off about the tall High Elf. Sent them some info so they can look into it.

    Thanks CS for getting back to me so quickly. Just one of those we have to scratch our heads over cause the issues made no sense. :) Back to leveling my new High Elf.

    Odd. I have three High Elves with maximum height, and I have not experienced what you describe.

    Are shorter toons really faster than taller toons? I've not noticed a difference.

    Yes she moved slower. Maybe it was some glitch due to the bugged character but I tested it with other players. I tested normal movement forward and sprinting. She used all the sprint available in six steps which I found really odd. It was bugged for some reason and the only thing I could find different in testing was how tall she was. The one I made a little shorter works fine. I will make another tall one soon and test again. I really think it was just a buggy creation for some reason and not related to any height issues.
