How to Change the Size of Non-player Characters in Skyrim

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" runs on the Creation engine, which accepts console commands to edit the game world. The engine's "setscale" command enlarges or shrinks objects, including non-player characters. You can enlarge a character to up to ten times its default size or shrink it to as small as a tenth of its default size. Changing a character's size changes its damage rating and speed proportionately. Many players, though, just use it for the fun of seeing men as small as mice or kids as big as houses.
