Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[zeylos]

Just as a positive thought:

Last night I actually got around to downloading the benchmark and was pleasently surprised that Viera and Hrothgar were two separate listings. Now this is most likely me reading to much into it, but I take that as a good sign. If they had 0 intention of including the off sexes, they couldve rolled both into one listing and called it something like "Beastkin", where if you pick male, its Hrothgars, and female would show Vieras. That setup would be done more for cleaner and more streamlined menu layout. The current set up atleast allows them to implement the off sexes without having to change anything in the character editor.

So yeah.

I had the same thought when I saw it. It doesn't confirm anything but it makes me possitive that they have some sort of plan to make them, since dataminers have pointed out that the dev team apparently went through an extra effort to intentionally make room for the other genders on some parts of the code, so they might very well have decided that they'll work on them for 6.0. I like to point out though that this is in no way any sort of confirmation

The most likely thing theyre doing is covering bases. Even if they dont add the new races ever, its better to create the opening now then have to go back down the line and make heavier changes. Still, one can be optimistic.
