Why do people always assume things were cut because of XYZ?
The dev responsible for making models isn't let's say the same that makes the ultimates and so on. Also they pushed back the release to november and will release female Hrothgar at a later date. That already speaks for itself that they made the time for it. Just because you don't enjoy a certain part of content doesn't mean it shouldn't be in game or took away from something else. Heard the same thing about Island Sanctuary. We don't know their exact resource management after all.
