I would rather hear they say that they have no time to make the Male Viera.

The Hrothgar it looks pretty...crudely made in the PV in my idea.
It looks like it only takes a few month to make the model and just throw it into the presentation.

That's what bothers me about the Hrothgar that they've shown at the keynote, and it bothers me from an artistic perspective. It's clear (to me) that they were quickly assembled upon male Roegadyn rigging. But their heads bother me the most. It's static & is obvious that it's a male Roegadyn head with feline-like features slapped on. It reminds me of the faces of the Vah Shir & Iskar from the first EverQuest game. It shows that they were something that was put together at the last minute. I kind of wish that the head more resembled the artwork, or the Kerran from EverQuest 2 & EQ Next art.

The lore reason used to explain these two races being gender-locked falls as flat as Mythic-EA's reason for not having had female Marauders in Warhammer: Age of Reckoning.

Overall, I am only mildly disappointed that this is the route they've chosen for races in Shadowbringers.
