Lupin - make it a playable race!

[Grimmel]

YES, make it possible somehow SE, and add Viera too! The more racial variety the better.

Where is the racial variety in Viera? They're just hyur with bunny ears and a small cotton ball tail.

No they are not. It's not just the appearance that makes the race, it's the lore. You can't just generalize one thing by looking at it. I could say all Hyur are just basic people with no creativity, in what's supposed to be a Fantasy game, but I won't. That would be mean, and generalized. Hyur have a place in the story too.

Racial Variety = Variety in difference of appearances of races.
Lore Variety = Variety in lore in terms of the inhabitants, scenery, history, and other given things that helped shape a world.

some concept art suggests it's going to be closer to animal than miqo'te.

Wouldn't mind a lupin race though. kinda nice seeing a humanoid race without a human face.

Same. The only "difficult" part for them would be designing the helms for the race, the rest of the armor would fit perfectly.

A simple solution would be like how Bethesda solved the Argonian/Khajiit boots due to the animal legs back in Morrowind, they can't use boots.
But instead of not letting them use helmets just make it perma-toggled off.
Lazy solution, but the most likely one if *IF* if ever this would be a playable race down the road.

Or just make it a mogstation race.
Those who are willing to play a race that can't have visible headgear and no (or few since I can't think of much else than fur & eye colours) character costumization can do so.
Buy it once to unlock it and use Fantasia like for any other race.
It would be like buying a game in Alpha stage. Alot of people do it and play it like a full game.

Just lock the display headgear for that race problem solved.

While I admit its a cheap way out,if they can do it for the belt (wear but never show) I can see them doing it for Lupin with armor that wouldn't work with their face as is. Give us the eye patch, hats and such but stuff such as face masks or full helmets are worn, but not shown. As I said, its a cheap way out but one I'd be fine with if it means they become an option.

I realised way too late that this was a thread from 2017 lol
But it does serve as a time capsule of things that just aged poorly.

We already have a massive thread about this, so what made you think we needed another?

And no. The whole story is about humanoid races vs beastmen. The warrior of light belongs to the former. The wolfheads to the latter. There won't ever be beastmen warriors of light and they're not going to change the whole story to add a race that wouldn't be popular anyway.

Hrothgar say Hi!

What we got didn't even get the cute cotton tail, dammit.
