Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

[Theodric]

I'm on the fence, personally. If male viera looked great and were to my tastes then I'd likely change into one. Though at the same time, that requires quite a few things to line up:

- They'd need to be fairly well-built.
- They'd need to be tall.
- They'd need a base face that is conventionally attractive.
- They'd need the ability to wear headgear.
- They'd need to have decent animations.
- They'd need to have a plausible explanation for coming out of the forest that is interesting.

My concern is that even if they're added to the game, we won't really see them to any significant degree out in the game world. Even now, I can count the number of male Raen NPC's of note on one hand and they've been in the game since HW.

You will be disappointed.

You will be disappointed.

Maybe. We'll see.

I'd expect a one-liner as the reason some have left the forest. Only headgear would be circlets, glasses, face masks. "Well-built" probably depends on your definition of it, I expect a toned hyur midlander body. I do actually expect at least one attractive masculine male face - hopefully the male variant hairs are really great. Animations, would probably be debateable - that could be hit or miss au ra were the last added and they stomp around weirdly...

I'm guessing you'll be disappointed just as I was in females.

It's the fact I know they'll have glorious long hair that makes me sort of happy, like they can't mess that up. I will finally have a male who can have dreads/long hair - without it looking weird on them.

Maybe, maybe not. I give it a 50/50 that the hairs will look great - for sure probably one or two options. One thing about viera, at least for females, is they can look good no matter the skin tone, dark or light, in my opinion. We will have faces that work great in both. Males I'm hoping would get some attractive masculine faces, with high quality facial hair options, and animations that aren't too ridiculous. Their emotes would probably be decent, rather they would look like they have an attitude, but I think that is super fitting. I think someone suggested a muscle slider and stuff a few pages back, but I don't expect that at all, what body we get is the body they will have.

Aye, I'm really hoping they have 'resting b*tch face' and their animations are pretty aggressive.
