It doesn't even make any sense, because there would be no reason for males to grow to these extraordinary sizes considering they wouldn't be fighting one another for females. The question is, who is this for? Why is this important? Do we need this? What does this add to the game?

If they had introduced a male only race with a strong backstory that followed some interesting evolutionary development paths, I'd be on board. That's a great opportunity to explore just how a race of beings who were mono-gendered (and that gender being specifically 'male') might evolve.

This just looks like another excuse to introduce hyper-sexualized females and hyper-masculine males without really thinking about what it means to add these races to the world.
the race isnt male only, they cut the females because vierra makes money. The females exist, we just dont get to play them because Fans wanted vierra more. Also "hyper masculine" is a human way of looking at things. evolutionarily, large creatures exist because they have an advantage being large. They dont need to be male or female. We got large elephants, lions, rhinos, whales etc.

also, do you think "hyper masculine" males should not exist? because this isnt the only races in the game, they are introduced in the context of a bunch of races, and large stocky males were under represented, bestial races were under represented. Yes they went out of thier way to add another large male, and their first bestial race, because they were under represented, and give more options to players.

you can get mad at vierra, but to be honest they basically released vierra to make up for hrothgar, which will probavly not be that popular.
