New Race Announced! The Au Ra

[Krr]

Saying it's boring or bland is a matter of opinion and taste, saying it's lazy is a matter of team resource distribution.

Non, I think we are at a misunderstanding of semantic now. I say it is boring, bland, and lazy as a matter of opinion, but also based off the fact that the proportions of the characters are not that different from human women already in the game. This is at contrast with the male Au Ra, which display a much different and distinct look from other men in the game with a top-heavy inverted triangle build and much more prominent muscle texturing - even distinct from Roegadyn men who while muscular, tend to be more box-shaped.

Essentially, the female Au Ra could be significantly different from human women in ways that the male Au Ra are significantly different from human men - but they aren't, and not as a matter of technical difficulty, proven by example in what the model team has already made in the past.

The visual design choice isn't one being made of technological limitation - it's one being made out of a fear to take perceived risks with character design.
