This is true. Though I think it’s a weird choice to be like “oh we gotta get these races fleshed out with the missing genders, I think this is important” and then make...the same choice down the line with other races.

Allegedly the only reason we didn’t get female Hrothgar was because they tried to please everyone by adding both viera and hrothgar at the same time. They said it’s their last chance to add more (why?), so they compromised and did one gender of each. It had everything to do with resources and time, not really anything to do with not wanting them in the game. So I think it makes sense to think that if somewhere down the line they had time and resources to devote to it, that they would add the other genders. Thinking they might find the time and resources any time soon may be a bit optimistic, but I don’t think it’s out of the question.
