Since Lore Suddenly Matters

[Shurrikhan]

P.S. This is what we could have had, something like this?

I'd be fine with losing that if only the Hrothgar actually had the option to look more like the leaner figures of Ronso, rather than limited to a (seemingly even squatter, somehow) Roegadyn model. Instead, we get reskins of a single model, and while that may be logical in terms of cost-effectiveness, it also makes the ceiling for breadth and depth of attraction in the new race (i.e. how many people will want to play the race, and how much will that choice be able to improve their play experience) stiflingly low.

I'd still prefer to have both genders for both races, If they Confirm that they at least have plans on making them in the future, I'd be content with what we have so far. But as of now, I won't just sit idly by while development decisions that have long since fallen out of favor are beginning to grow and fester like a malignant cancer, otherwise I wouldn't be doing my duty as a fan and helping to make the game better by helping to push the devs away from harmful decisions such as Genderlocked races.

Ultimately that's the whole point of thousands of people commenting on this.
And several publications doing the same.

People just want some acknowledgment from Yoshi P that they hear all these people voicing their concerns.
