"Items considered spec"

What does "spec" even mean? I have never heard of it used in this context before and Google was of no help either.

This was my exact thought reading about the graphics things lol, I had no idea what this refers to either. Specialised? Specific? Speckled?

spec = specification

They say they will not fix those items.

It's a PR friendly way of saying "this was intentional, get over it."

That wouldn't have made it any clearer to me, as that was basically what Google was suggesting.

I feel like they could have just said "intentional" or "by design" or something like that and it would have been significantly clearer, but oh well. Chalking this up to translation goofery.

It was obviously poor localization.

Like, even beyond hrothgar and viera hats, female hrothgar have *other* issues with gear and lacking hairs overall that I certainly hope it wasn't *intentional*.

as with most things, as I suspected when announced, female hrothgar are living proof of "be careful what you wish for"
