I have some questions, SE story writing team.

Outside of this I couldn't say I'm any disappointed because we didn't really see anything about them. And even the lore for Vieras isn't really relevant because it's for The First - but this is at least some info to work with.
Yes, I believe that was a huge misstep to say Hrothgar females were extremely rare. It opens up unfortunate implications. I'm hoping they'll change it, but do they ever just change lore? With male viera, they said they stay in the woods as an excuse for them not to be playable. But then they could just twist that to say MOST males stay in the woods for them to be playable, but I see no such work-around for playable female Hrothgar.
