I heard taller characters do more damage and run faster. Is that true? I'm also on xbox. From the stuff you can upgrade the character stats and abilities don't matter so much but Tall Elfs are pretty ugly, I'd say more so than Orcs.
Making a new character this time going to pick perks I want instead of saving them because I can just reset them later on. Speaking of which, if you invest in a store and afterwards reset your speech perks you still have stores right?
