Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

Honestly, at this point I have so little expectations that if they did just remove/toggle the hair flowers I would be happy. I just want my character’s looks to be cohesive. What about all that immersion stuff you tout, SE? I get that your in game Viera are mostly all in the same little forest tribe, but not all Viera would run around with little flowers all over.

Leatherbands in their hair, I imagine, feathers, braids.....different tattoos on their bodies, cuts into their ears or paint on their ears, more facepaints even. There were so many things they couldve done that didnt involve hats to make vieras and hrothgars more different from eachother.

Indeed! I would have also thought alternate versions of headpieces only showing parts of the assets that don't clip. Facial covers sans the top piece, in the cryptlurker sets for example. Retroactively editing all pre-ShB sets would have been a task, but everything after it? Seems like a missed opportunity to placate a lot of people.

Yup, some nice faceveils for instance couldve worked (and has been asked for before). Other type of makeup.

I love the flowers in the viera hairstyles. It would be nice to have a toggle for the people who want to remove them though. I would like to change the colors of the flowers, but I’m glad they went with white because it matches most things. Being from the forest doesn’t mean Viera can’t like flowers. The majority of Viera I see have flowers and bow accessories. People could choose to not use anything at all, but they don’t. I know there aren’t a lot of options, but players choose flowers quite a bit.

My problem with the flowers is that they are reused assets from the hairstyle you unlock from Orbonne Monastery just slapped on. There's nothing inherently bad with them, but look more like a Claire's accessory more than a freshly picked from the forest floor flower.

That's exactly what I thought, when I first saw them on my viera. They just didn't look right.
