Viera and Hrothgar Megathread

[Awha]

This is why they should have just made them lalafell with ears. At the very least you would have universal disdain from the majoring factions in the war, while the true minority would gladly accept the hate cause we already live it as lalafell.

I would have liked to see them look like the big Chungus meme myself, would have been amusing seeing them run around, but that wouldn’t really fit with everything else

I would like a proper dwarf-like race one day, but it is what it is.

We heard anything at all about female Hrothgar yet?

We know they're going to be released, but we don't know when. We might see some in the 6.x patches as npcs but I'm not expecting them until 7.0 since they'll probably want to fix some of the core hrothgar problems before they commit to making another problem theyd have to fix.

It's a good thing my arguments are solid then.

I never stated that. As I gave context in a prior post: those platforms are based on upvotes, likes, shares. What is popular on those platforms are what is on top, and what I assume SE sees the most of. I simply have a difference of opinion to what's popular there. I wasn't aware I was being rude, just because I had imagined male viera differently. It's a game race, and this is a game's forum, it doesn't actually matter that much to me - whether I post about it frequently or not. It's passing time; equivalent to chatting.

Oh.. honestly my fault.. i got you confused with another au ra gal...
smooches

You a person who never intended on playing a male viera is in every male viera thread complaining about their lack of masculinity…

Tbh as someone who wanted to play male viera (or at least try it) and wanted more masculine face options : i mostly agree with her. So saying that her opinion about male invalid just because she doesn't want to play a male seems a bit weird. What about me then?
I like the body shape and the height range, i identify the most with it since i'm lean guy irl. But the face options are just the complete oposite, it's extremely feminine and options for a more maculine look are almost non-existant. It's more than androgynous.
I REALLY like the official artworks tho and think the viera look actually manly in there and fit with the lore perfectly. In game they just look like decilate dolls, not like elves. Closer to some shojo manga where the guys look like girls.
Even if she didn't want to play the males, she showed things that others ppl who were interested in viera dislike a lot.

Au ra and miqote already fill the role of a fit beast guy so it's good that the viera look more delicate.

I hope the female hroths will not be another model skinny body type with no butt like midlanders, highlanders, elezen, viera, miqote and au ra. They could be thick like femroe but less ripped and broad shouldered.

It's really weak to me and the fact that it has to get the beard to become more masculine confirms what i say. The big cute eyes are not in the artwork, the face look more rough in the artwork too. He doesn't have the confident/rebelious look that make the charm of male viera for me. It's all very soft and delicate.

I don't want beast guys lmao, i wanted something at least closer to the official artwork of vieras. Something young looking wasn't the problem but the rebelious and wild thing they have in the artwork really hyped me the most.
And don't get me wrong, i'm not saying they shouldn't get delicate options. It fits as well, but it didn't have to only delicate and nothing else.

I think they look masculine, they look like young men. Yeah they aren't huge and overly muscular like bodybuilders, but they definitely look like men. I have seen plenty of men IRL look like male viera. I dont really get why some are saying they look like women.
