As I've said before, I don't think the restriction for Hrothgar is about time limits but that hats wouldn't work in conjunction with how their hair is implemented - and I don't think their hair works that way due to time limits but customisation-template limits.

Also, they never promised "more customisation". They said "unique customisation", which is true, and people heard what they wanted to hear and never stopped to fact-check it.
A design choice. Stick figures are also a design choice.
When you program, you don't program for limitation but for the baseline. If it's true that they designed it as such it sounds terribly lazy. In addition, if it's assumed that they limit viera because of hrothgar, then really stick to one race. This just screams to me messiness that took place in the planning process.
Yes, they did promise more customisation, specifically hrothgar faces, which I honestly have little hope in.
