Female Hrothgar Suggestions

I find it incredibly strange that Female Hrothgar has hairstyles tied to specific faces. As far as I am aware no other race, and correct me if I am wrong, and male Hrothgar do not have face specific hairstyles. Why are Female hrothgars the only ones like this?

There are so many wonderful hair options for them and being locked out of a hairstyle because I wish to use any other particular face feels horribly inconvenient and blocks a lot of creative options for the race/gender when it already has so little. (For example Face 3 having access to hrothgar hairstyle 22, while face 2 does not. I very much love that hairstyle, but do not wish to use face 3 for it.)

All that is to say I wish for a change for all the hair options specific to female Hrothgar to be an option for any face. Alongside this I also get very frustrated that hrothgars as a whole cannot change hair colors.

Seeing as they are furry creatures maybe there is a reason they cannot change their entire fur color since it is also part of their body, but nevertheless it still frustrates me to no end that they are one of if not the only few who cannot change hair colors. As it stands Hrothgar female feels the most neglected.

I pray that there is some way any of these things can change, more so the face specific hair change is more important to me than the others.

(This is all from when I first started playing hrothgar, and some of these comments may be incorrect, but last I played they did not have the option to change hair colors outside of fantasia.Please correct me if I am wrong on this.)

The hairstyle and color limitations were the reason why I just couldn't stick to Hrothgar despite really adoring the concept and the default looks they have. Every race and gender in the game have a few unique hairstyles exclusive to them (IE, Miqo'te males have several hair styles with black tips and spots on their ears that female characters can't use), so a few for Hrothgar is normal.

But the limitations are so harsh on Hrothgar!

Male hrotghar do have face specific hair too. Boggles my mind why instead of fixing this issues, they doubled down on it with the females

Male hrothgars have hairstyles tied to the face as well. It seems rather than correcting this issue, they chose to replicate all of the male issues with the females out of fairness, which is really stupid. I played female hrothgar for the past year since DT and loved her to death, but finally decided to shift back to my bunny boy for now. They still have sooooo many armor issues and I am tired of cute outfits coming out and the slaves are so massive, it looks stupid on me.

I just hope we can get more character creation option in a future expansion. Since we know that there won't be any new playable races, it would be best to add more option in the character creation for more unique approach.

I think there is an easy answer. The devs hate Hrothgars, and only caved on female Hrothgals after they released male Viera.

I mean releasing the race finished the first time would of been the best, but sadly that did not happen

That sadly makes a lot of sense. The colour tables are so off-putting that I'm sure they tried to indirectly keep people from embracing the race. What is that even, neon to mud colours on Helions and only green/blue on Lost? There aren't even any real big cat colours there. And the badly scaled shoulder and sleeve parts?

But still, I switched to Hrothgal and I love her so much. I love her abs and her broad shoulder and her muscles and the way she moves like a force of nature. I'm a little obsessed right now. So I pray to the Twelve that the devs are working on adjusting the older gear models as they give them new textures and second dyes, that they're working on the hairstyles, and that maybe one day we get more colour choices for all races.

More options for us lady hrothgars please :o

Yelling into the void: Please unlock face-locked hairstyles, SE.

I’ve said this before, but I remember pre-release renders of male Hrothgar having hairstyles tied to the “wrong” face, not to mention several NPCs have this going on too. It really sucks that not only did they not lift this restriction with Dawntrail, female Hrothgar still get face-locked hair too. My copium is that they’re waiting to finish porting the other hairstyles before unlocking their own hair but it’ll be a very long time with the pace they’re going. Even then, I wish they had prioritized racial hairstyles because they’re pretty much the only ones that look good on them because they were designed specifically for their weird heads (that “hunch” they were going for really messed things up I think).

I have two Hrothgar alts (and my femHroth has really grown on me since making her), but I’m really disappointed with the color options that we’ve been given with the race in general. Why highlighter yellow and not a more natural tiger orange? (And why can only one face have the Ronso horn?)

Better fur color options, please. Being a lion-colored lion shouldn't be impossible. The main hrothgal NPC has a fur color players aren't allowed to have.

Light tan or orange is impossible but for some reason hot pink, neon yellow, Shrek green, grape purple, and sky blue are a-ok. It's so bad.

It's not actually! The fur colors for skin and hair are WILDLY different, so if you have the audacity to want a single color on a Hrothgar character, you have to pick all white or all black with only a VERY short list of other muted colors that work. I played all white so I wouldn't lose it, but I wanted to be be literally any shade of purple. You cannot be purple.

This is part why Wuk Lamat is so much better looking as a model than players. She can have brown fur on her head and tail tip, but her body stripes match her skin tone. She has zero markings on her face. It's baffling since the perfect base is RIGHT THERE.

More importantly, why can't I make an orange cat or a tiger? Why are the "skin" (fur?) and hair colors so limiting.
This is a 2025 game, with a 2024 implemented race. We should have something akin to a color wheel picker to decide whatever we wanna use for character customization, on all races.
And don't get me started with the hairs being locked to specific faces.

There are lost options for purple.

But yes I agree, the way the colors are laid out on the body is just ridiculous. I want to be able to turn off body markings AND still have hair highlights. The fact the two are related makes it so difficult to create a harmonious design. They just feel so poorly implemented all around.

Yes, you can, although I admit it looks like blue in the colour table. In the game itself it looks very purple though.

She has lioness colours and a beautilful face with big house cat eyes, and I really want those. And natural cat-shade colour options. Lioness gold, tigress orange, even snow leopard muted greige would be a simple yet massive improvement over what we currently have. I really hope they are working on implementing a wider colour picker for all races right now and that's why they're not bothering with better Hrothgar colours until then, but 1.0 spaghetti code yada yada might make this impossible until they rework the whole character creation system in Althyk knows how many years.

I just want to be an orange tigress, why is that so hard, SE?

I definitely hope they fix the shoulder/sleeves issue, some gear just looks comically bad on Femhroths that looks fine on other races, have you seen how ridiculous the lvl 80 Gunbreaker AF coat looks on Femhroth?
