I feel very sorry for them.

They had a hard decision to make. They wanted to do a beastlike race (hrothgar) because many players where asking for that. But there where also many players who wanted viera more than anything.

So SE decided to give the players both most asked races. But of course there is only 2 years developement time till shadowbringers and they had to make cuts.

I think it was the right thing to make both races rather then only one with both genders.

And honestly, the community should maybe take a step back in the future about unconfirmed assumtions. Male Viera was never being hinted at!
