Viera Feet - Aren't they supposed to be digitigrade?

[Enla]

If they gave either of the new races more bestial feet, then not only would we have limited helmets, but limited or no footwear as well. There'd be more people raging about it and calling the devs lazy.

They're fine as is folks. I swear every time I check the forums there's yet another thread complaining about why the new races aren't this or aren't that. One thread even demanded Viera have tails when they -NEVER- had them in any of their incarnations. Now yeah, there are some valid worries, but holy hell the constant complaining is just...yeurgh. I think it's time to take a break from these forums.

Edit: I'll do you one better. If Viera and Hrothgar were digitigraded, most legwear would be unavailable too - not just footwear.



Those are true digitigraded legs. From the knee up, the majority of leg armor wouldn't work. Viera and Hrothgar would be forced to wear skirts and shorts. Now don't get me wrong - in a perfect world I'd like to see at least Hrothgar with digitigraded legs. But without a lot of time, effort, manpower, and money - that's not going to happen any time soon and I would much rather them put their efforts into making content than appeasing the few of us who would appreciate this addition.

This.

Pretty good example of this are the Khajiit and Argonian's from Morrowind. They couldn't wear any of the game's boots because of their digitigrade legs and it drove the developer's and many players insane. To the point that in Oblivion and all titles going forward they changed their legs to be more human like. And this was back in 2002. If they couldn't fudge it back then without difficulty I find it hard to believe they could today with our more complex models.
