Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

These artworks are ok but what's with their chest? it's non-existent. If hair is the only thing that will distinguish male and female Hrothgar I don't think that's going to go off well with the average player.

Not everything has to make the average player happy.

That's been my gripe with the few fan-art I've seen from those who bother to make some depiction of them. Well rendered art, but you're basically wanting them to be straight back Male Hrothgar to appease like 10 people who would actually play that.

That's a yes/ no.

Not all forms of content is for every player, Ultimates and Eureka is proof of that.
But when you're talking about races, you want something that's gonna to please people. The goal in making the Hrothgar was game health, they're here to make the game more appealing to certain Western MMO players who look for more beast/ furry options. So no, not every race has to be popular ... but there's a large difference between the respectable Male Hrothgar numbers and asking for the already niche concept of furry females to be combined with the doubling down of the main reason no one plays Femroe.

If this game had 5 furry races like WoW that serviced a wide verity of types, then that would be one thing. But asking everyone who could possibly be into making a furry female to also be down with that female looking buff and masculine is putting up a lot of barriers to entry for something that will be the "only option" for them.

I just realllllly hope they have some nice hairstyles and a bonus would be a nice variety of face options i however have no confidence in either of these things

I doubt it.
If they are basing them on Lions and taking any inspiration from Ronso it would stand to reason that the females have very short hair if any. And reading people try to play out their faces based on the males is odd as not once in this game have the devs ever given non-lala females the range of faces as their male counterparts. Maybe it will be different now ... but realistically, if I had to guess, I'd say 4 versions of a Ronso-ish face or a Ronso-ish face and maybe 3 of some smaller cats breed faces. Or I could see them doing 4 female versions of the male's face 2, which is more of a generic "beast" than any particular cat.

But IDK, they gonna do what they do. They know how to make pretty faces, so I'm sure w/e they do I'll like.

Ofc it has to have a balance, that's what i meant. Chest slider will be there aniway i'm sure. I think making the females too delicate is as bad as making them too muscular.

Femroe having the biggest boobs in this game (and the longest hair last I checked) doesn't stop them from looking like men in 60% of body gear, which is a massive reason for their numbers. There's more to a body than looking muscular or "delicate", the internet simping over Lady D is a good example of how you can have a powerful monster woman who doesn't look buff or masculine.

Im personally not taking that Mural Seriously, its too stylized and thus vague. And it offers no idea on customization options.

If you want to say that about the face, then sure, but there is zero body customization in this game beyond "make boobs bigger/ make character taller-shorter/ change tail".

Hair, Makeup, racial Features. (Such as tail) are what I mean
