I don't mind the hair being tied to the face but I do feel that there are not enough face options for males at all. If they are going to lock that stuff in to make sure there isn't some sort of massive horrible clipping/modelling issue, then they really need to offer a wide selection - and a wide selection of added parts. I liked that you could remove the front braid on some hair options but I don't think it went far enough.

They made mention of a wolf face shortly after the Hrothgar were announced but it's nowhere to be found in the benchmark. My guess is that extra faces were planned but scrapped due to time constraints. If so it just kinda makes me wish that again they had held Hrothgar back a patch cycle so they could do more with them, as every time they've been brought up since the Japanese Fanfest it's generally in relation to crunch and how tough it is to make things work for them - with the most telling aspect being that Hrothgar weren't even reveal ready until the day before they were announced.

While you have a good point about the wolf face - they showed it in a blog about a week before the benchmark was release. I guess I'd assumed that it was with the Helion, since I only played around with the Lost to make a snow leopard. (The thick tail is no where near long enough ) Having said that I remember clearly when we were all saying oh, the models for Au Ra aren't finished. They wouldn't possibly tie horns to faces, that would be stupid - and then when HW released there wasn't really any changes other than the generic (non racial) hair being added as an option.

The wolf looking head is the 2nd head.
