How big is the traveller? Inconsistencies. (Destiny)

Marty actually mentioned to me that this was something he brought up early on, but the artists simply decided to use a variable size such that it best fit into the piece of art they were doing. Bungie is well aware.

I'm okay with that. It's like the First T-Rex scene from Jurassic Park. It cheats geometry like crazy, and makes little spacial sense. But, those cheats let Spielberg maximize the drama of the scene. How did the jeeps get back to the T-Rex Paddock in the first place? Where did that cliff come from?

Were you not on the edge of your seat anyway? Did you even notice the first time? The fact that people are just now questioning the Traveler's size means that the decision was probably okay, since if it were the size it appears from the tower, it would not be visible from space, and much of the game's iconography would be gone.
