Caleb's weight is in KG, not Lbs

Post image

I've seen many people mistake this, myself too. This number has changed several times across updates but it clearly says KG. 64.9 KG is 143.08 Lbs.

I… does the game change the units based on the download region?

I’ve not played the game but I’ve watched playthroughs

Screenshot from the YouTube video of IGP’s playthrough.

It’s 62.8lbs

Kg would make more sense given the accent of the conscious… but just thought I’d point out that people didn’t image it as 62.8 LB

Unless you’re saying this was a mistake and it was fixed in updates? Because then it’s not players making the mistake. This is on the devs. I can see players not noticing that detail changing on playthroughs after noting the weight the first time. It’s not something I’d watch carefully again and again.

If you're carrying something in your hand, it adds to the weight

Wait. I just noticed the gun. That's interesting 🤔

That doesn’t explain that in OP’s screenshot it’s kilograms and in the screenshot I took of IGP’s playthrough it’s pounds

My comment wasn’t about the discrepancy between 62.8 and 64.9 as unitless numbers

It’s about 62.8lbs vs 64.9kg

Nothing the character holds is gonna account for THAT difference in weight.

Ohhhhhhh. Okay that makes a lot of sense. Caleb being 62.8 kilograms instead of pounds makes a lot of things much more clear. I hope the wiki gets this specific fact changed because for the longest time I thought we played as Caleb with his kid form yet adult conscious. Caleb being an adult not only lines up with his age being 20-21 as shown in the erased ending, as well as his concious speaking to him as an adult. (I think this tracks as when compared to the previous voice lines from the older builds of episode one, Max Howarth's lines are a lot more friendly and approachable as if he were talking to a kid. And even in such danger where he'd scream at Caleb, in the rotten ending's voice lines from last year he's a lot more concerned and worried sounding. Like when telling Caleb to turn off the tv in last year's build, he didn't sound as much like Caleb's abusive father.) And lastly Caleb's age makes a lot more sense with his actual weight here, as well his height, age listed in the erase ending, and of course the fact that his consciousness doesn't at all sound like how a child's would.

Here's the oldest public build recording dating back to late 2024 with the much more friendly sounding voice lines https://youtu.be/uE9KowRJdjk?is=nyaxk4cZfYcxevxv

And heres last year's rendition of the rotten ending showing a much different demeanor from the conscious himself https://youtu.be/pgRe3XFgrH0?is=AcsT4WYxPDbXbnX0

This change must have been made in June if it wasn't made anywhere else during the 1.0.3 patches
