Female Hrothgar as a playable race. Show your support!

Personally this is why said they should have just made them short like lalafell. At that point at least both sides with be in agreement when it comes to hating them. They would have a common enemy to gang up on!

Being dissapointed is normal but it's not even the place to talk about that, there's 2 threads for male viera.

You're speaking to the wrong person, senn's just disappointed at how bad of a reception male viera's got after the benchmark.

Who said this concept art is of a teenager? They do have a youthful appearance since viera have long life spans, but they are adults.
It's in the lore. Please stop trying to hijack male viera. :^)

It's funny, you didn't seem to have a problem with their appearance at all when the trailer came out and we got to see the face options and etc... But as soon as you found out they were 2 inches shorter, they are suddenly a disappointment to you?

1. If we judged them by the trailer you would've been the first one to say to wait for the benchmark to see if they have faces that actually look like men. A trailer is never enough to judge all the character creation options.
2. Trailer only shows them in starter race gear which can mask how bad their proportions actually are; they're very very skinny, skinnier than even male elezen, and male elezen is already a walking skeleton.
3. I listed all the factors that make male viera a disappointment which include them looking like underage children; this is the part you want to conveniently ignore but I will keep bringing it up.

You're free to be disappointed, but male viera are meant to be slim and generally pretty/elegant looking (like I said, bishounen). And no, they don't look underage. It's a shame they aren't to your liking, but that's just how it is. It seems like this race just isn't meant for you.

The reception has actually been pretty good from what I've seen! There's a select few people who are salty about it - they're usually whining about twitter and the darn "vocal minority", but I enjoy watching that quite a bit.

Incorrect, they were meant to look like men according to the sketches.

I don't know about that. The concept art of male viera I showed you just now seemed pretty faithful to the final product! Minus the tuft of fur on the chest (from the original concept).
In any case, concept art isn't necessarily indicative of what the final product will look like in all cases.

Not meant for me or for anyone according to Yoship.
Incorrect, they were meant to look like men according to the sketches. They just capitulated to the people that wanted underage-looking males in the game. They totally created what they said they weren't going to create.

Why are we discussing Viera in the kitty thread. Begone, you lot!

I love how much time you've spent complaining about this. It fills me with joy because it will never change and you will just be disappointed.

Oh I'm fine not playing "male" characters who have the face of females/underage children. Definitely not into those weird fetishes/appeal.

[Caurcas]

Anywho, Highlander Miqo'te would be an acceptable choice.

This is what we needed, but just did not deserve.
