Male viera was the race that was actually heavily requested, female hrothgar is just a hanger-on. Male hrothgar already have enough trouble as is, with two hairstyles per face, no hats, and having to fantasia to even change to that second hairstyle.

I still think male viera was released too early, they are inevitably just going to be as limited as female viera. What a waste. Even if female hrothgar look semi-okay as a beast race, if they are just as limited due to "unique heads" as male hrothgar, that's double the problems to not 'fix' later, as apparently male hrothgar unique heads was a design choice. We should have first got our female viera hairs, and male hrothgar updates, before these genders, in my opinion. Now everything is pushed back..
To be honest I’m hoping they’ll use the next six months to solve some of those issues for the new races so that their counterparts can launch with a little less controversy. I don’t think hrothgar will ever be compatible with the hair system, but I could see them at least updating aesthetician so they can switch between racial hairs and I could also see them find a way to make hats work for them. Likewise, for viera, I could see them working us into the hair system in time for 6.0, especially given how normal the male hair looks compared to the female viera hair.

I get being impatient, we have every right to be after two years. But I don’t think it should come with dismissing femroth because we want/got ours. It might be a little overly optimistic but that they made developing the other genders such a priority even after we had all written it off as 7.0 or later really instilled some confidence in me that they will put in the effort for viera and hroth in 6.0 and beyond. Even if they don’t that’s on them, I see no reason to come into the hrothgar support thread and rain on their parade for differing tastes when hrothgar players aren’t to blame for any issues we have with SE’s decision making.

Here’s to hoping we all get what we want to some degree in 6.0. It’s a long wait but I have high hopes. Feel free to rub my nose in them if I’m wrong- I’ve been one of the angriest vieras on this forum for the past two years before changing my tune, lol.
