That they chose to keep the Highlanders as they were in 1.0 means that it's an intended aspect of that race.
That's false, my character is straight from 1.0. Your character started out exactly as you left him from 1.0 in the character creator. They didn't force you to change, they ALLOWED you to change because the graphics were now different. Every single visual option was available again for highlanders. No options were removed (only voices were different because they didn't have the same 1.0 voice actors).
