Nah cuz how dare varric STILL BE TALLER THAN ME EXCUSE THE FUCK
Here to ruin everyone's day with this because honestly I find it delightful and fits into the feral and desperate need I have for Thedas to be experiencing mega fauna and flora.
Update: Just to clarify, the only height that is canon is Bull's. I realize that the wording for some was not entirely clear enough on that. That's why I didn't tag this as lore.
Going from shortest to tallest we have this:
Varric - 5'3 (160.02cm) [Source]
Morrigan - 5'8 (172.72cm)*
Alistair - 6' (182.88cm) [Source]
Dorian - 6' - 6'2 (182.88-187.96cm)*
Solas - 6'5 (195.58cm) [Source]
The Iron Bull - 8' (243.84cm)*
Morrigan:
Morrigan's figure isn't listed anymore, but I grabbed a screenshot and with the help of a friend who has her statue, Morrigan is 5'8 sans heels.
Dorian:
When asked about Dorian's height, David Gaider specified that: "He is as tall as the character artists made him." [Source]
So, without giving bias, I put Dorian's height at a range due to the fact he is the ideal proportions at 8 heads tall which by modern industry standard means he's 6'2, but by earlier standards means he's 6'. Since we can't really tell which height the artist is going for, I put the range. But considering current standards I would say he's 6'2.
The Iron Bull:
In World of Thedas vol. 2 p. 255 they have the description that he is 8' tall.
Everyone in the Chargers is someone who can look at an eight-foot horned giant and say, 'Yes, I trust that man with my life.'
If you're wondering if that includes the horns? Up to you, its not specified. If you want to do sans horns, they math out to adding roughly 5" to his had according to his gaming heads model. Which would make him 7'5 (226.06cm).

There’s power in stories, though. That’s all history is: The best tales. The ones that last. Might as well be mine.
