How badly does body size influence combat? In most general MMO's body size matters little since the hits are RNG-ed, but when it comes to a game with manual dodging and hitboxes, small size is an inevitable advantage. Are there compensations in place for playing a bigger race?

There's some variation in the quests but it's mostly general MMO fare. Some quests have cutscenes and stuff, but mostly the story is just a backdrop and nobody really cares about it. You could say it's the opposite of SWTOR. On the flipside, you don't miss out on anything important by skipping quests, being in a party actually increases the experience you gain, and you can easily be boosted by higher level characters.
I think body size has only minimal effects on your hitbox for projectiles and melee range, for example if you hit "close enough" to an Elin it'll still register as a hit. But size is important because characters in combat actually have collision, so big people block more area. Also because your need to target a character manually to cast heals and buffs and stuff, big characters are much easier to heal.
