Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

[LisSquid]

People feet definitely does look weird - too bad females would have people feet too, better than no footgear, I suppose. Now bald hrothgar, sure that should be an option. I don't think they should all be bald, ESO khajiit aren't bald - they just can be bald. ESO actually gave them (and continued) to give them longer or puffy hairstyles - to sell in their cash shop of course.

Oh I wasn't speaking about ESO, but TES in general which is my first jump to when I think of cat races (Morrowind waaay back in the day).
I still think the move from funny cat feet to human feet was lame.

I'm far from a good artist but reading through the last ten or so pages gave me some inspiration - it's rough and I'm obviously a furry, but it does encourage me to get better.

Keep it up, fellas.

Cute art!!

We're slowly creeping up on the reveal of 6.0 information and I'd just like to quietly continue supporting this thread. I don't actually expect any new playable races for the new expansion though, between an unknown amount of the team being put to work on FF16 and the pandemic, unless the devs pulled some miracles in the background.

At the very least I hope they can make a barebones female hrothgar NPC for them to use in cutscenes and quests. That every other notable hrothgar NPC has a dead wife or mother is uh, a pretty nasty narrative hole they've put themselves in. Like, I understand there's no models to use, but can't they just be out adventuring for once? Running errands for an indeterminate amount of time??

While it would be nice to see them as NPC it would also hurt to see them as NPC only knowing you can't play as them.

The FFXIV team created the Roegardyn women and the Mi'qote men, so I think they absolutely can create the Hrothgard women and Viera men models ...! When SE announced the two new playable races, I was happy to create male Viera, but when they announced the female gender lock ... I was just unhappy ... to this day I continue to play the male Mi'qote.
Coz IRL I'm male and don't want to be FORCED to play a female character.

That's fair! I'd be upset too, but it would at least be a balm over the 'we're killing all the women of this race, who have very prominent leadership-like roles, to hide that we don't have them designed' narrative problem. A barebones NPC would not need to have all the necessary player animations made for them, nor would they need to have thousands of armors fitted, so my thought is that it would at least be a hopeful kind of building block towards a fully playable race. Similar to how Merlwyb existed in 1.0, but female roegadyn were not actually in the character creator until the new team put together and shuffled out 2.0.

Granted, I don't know what kind of priorities or standards the team has in place nowadays, so this might just be wishful thinking.

Their absence in the Bozja quest lines was sorely noticed. They really do need to get round to adding them.

There is still a chance that they may announce the races in the next announcement events. Keep faith! :3

This event seems to have served mostly the same purpose as the American events in the past where it shows next to nothing, and we have to wait until the Euro and JP events for the meat. Maybe a bit more than normal but I think they're only doing 2 events this time.

So yeah, the moment I heard about a "MAY Fan Fest!" I prepped myself to have to wait until May for anything of substance or any confirmation 1 way or the other and sure enough we got mostly verbal info about a number of things and saw very little.

Also came across this lil Hrothgar art recently. She, like many, were hoping for info Friday.
