Big head mode

Big Head Mode is a setting in and  that, when enabled, causes the heads (and hats) of most in-game character models to be disproportionately large compared to the rest of their body. It's existence is purely for comedic purposes, and enabling it has no impact on the gameplay or game mechanics.

Josh Sawyer, the lead designer of Pillars of Eternity said that it was always a dream of his to work on a game with a big head mode, and that one of the inspirations for it was the game, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater which featured a similar mode.

From the 30th to the 31st of October, enabling Big Head Mode in gives characters a pumpkin head. This was added to celebrate Halloween alongside The Small Harvest.
